Obituary
Marea Vetter Jones, 78 of Argyle passed away on January 28, 2014, in Denton, Texas.
Marea was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma on April 3, 1935 to B.W. "Bob" and Gladys Vetter. Marea graduated from Central High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1954. She went on to attend Southern Methodist University, where she was a proud member of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority and where she made many life long friends. Marea graduated from SMU in 1958 with a degree in elementary education. Following college, she was a second grade school teacher at David G. Burnet Elementary School in Dallas, Texas.
Marea married William Judd Jones in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on November 21, 1959 after a courtship that began with a trip to the store for a watermelon with a two-hour detour to the local diner. Marea and Judd have been married for 54 years, and their proudest accomplishment is their four children. They have many wonderful memories of the life they built together with their children with their fondest memory being the time they spent in England where they travelled extensively throughout Europe leading Marea to develop her love of cooking and travel. She never met a recipe she didn't like and used food to bring people together for good conversation and laughter.
Marea was preceded in death by her mother, Gladys Vetter, her father, Bob Vetter, and her stepmother, Frances Vetter.
She is survived by her Husband of 54 years, Judd Jones; her daughter Andrea Jones of St. Louis, Missouri, and her three children Kilby, Stratton, and Reese; her son Jeff Jones of Frisco, Texas, and his wife Wendy, and their two sons Foster, and Judson; her daughter Jennifer Jones of Chicago, Illinois, and her partner Anthony "Tony" Gioia; her son Wade Jones of Dallas, Texas, and his wife Tiffany, and their two daughters Kate and Caroline; her sister Karin Mott and her husband Charlie of Charlottesville, Virginia, a nephew, four nieces, and many extended family members.
