I so regret not being there with you. There was never anyone more family-binding than Aunt Neta. My mother, Mary Ellen Hunter Jones was taken from me at 5 years old. Aunt Neta made it her mission to see that I was not forgotten nor left ignorant of my family ties and relatives.
The first Christmas my mother was gone, I can still remember the large box that arrived at our home filled with many little presents from many relatives in Washington, organized I am certain by Aunt Neta. Without exception, she was in touch with me every birthday, Christmas and times in between. Her visits to Phoenix were priceless.
At 13 I flew to Washington to spend time with Aunt Neta and Aunt Jean. I was enveloped by a large family that Aunt Neta made certain I was able to meet and be in touch with as much as possible during my visit.
When Cole was 3, she and Uncle Shorty came and stayed with us for a visit in Phoenix. Cole learned to play Fish atop Uncle Shorty’s lap with Aunt Neta and my dad as competitors.
At 13 Cole was to make the same journey to Washington. He went to obtain what remain some of his fondest and dearest memories with Judy’s family and Aunt Neta and Uncle Shorty.
Aunt Neta always provided me with immeasurable information about my mother, which helped to keep my memories clearer and my ties to family bound.
She was the most informative family history provider that ever existed, as well as an accurate and dedicated letter writer of family happenings. Because of her I have been able to feel close to so many of you, often by relayed information alone.
Aunt Neta held, and will always hold, as high a place in my heart as anyone can. She was loved by me, my late husband, and my son. I would not trade one minute of time with her nor one letter she has ever written me.
My heart will forever revere her and I will always strive to be as loved and respected as much as my Beloved Aunt Neta.
Love to you all,
Mary Ann
I enjoyed visiting Juanita at Life Care. She was a fun and always cheerful lady – a pleasure to spend time with, sharing stories of her life on the farm picking cotton, and other tales of the “good ole days”…and quite the solitaire player!
Mimi, as the family called her, was a wonderful story teller, describing her experience of The Depression and living along The Columbia River etc. She was devoted to The Lord and her family. She attended church activities and all family occasions, cooking a dish, and sharing a smile. She will be deeply missed and remembered always Kae
