Clara M. Brown-Jones
Loving Clara Brown Jones, passed away on Tues April 11th at Stanford Hospital, just a few days short of her 78th birthday.
At the time of passing Ms. Clara was surrounded by her baby daughter, and sisters at bedside.
She was born in Kingston Jamaica, and is the middle child of nine siblings.
She settled in Northern California in the 1970’s, where she then worked as a nurse at Stanford Hospital for over a decade.
Ms. Clara was a very considerate and loving person, always thinking of others. In fact, even while battling illness she shared her concern to the nurses for their lack of sleep working in the wee hours of the morning asking them to please get rest and apologizing to the doctor for having to care for her. On behalf of the doctors and nurses at Stanford Hospital that treated my mom during her illness, I would like to thank them dearly for giving my mother the best care, and for extending sincere kindness and patience to her. Quoting my dear mother “The nurses are so loving.” And yes everyone was truly loving to my mother and our family, that extended love was instrumental with helping us get through that difficult time.
Ms. Clara had a heart of gold, she always made sure her family and closest friends were taken care of. She was a care giver to everyone.
She loved to cook, travel, and work in her garden, and was deeply devoted to her family.
In addition to her deep love for her family she also had an intense love for god. She worked as a missionary for many years, and remained loyal up until her last breath.
My sweet mother had an infectious smile and laugh. She lightened a room with her warm smile and greeting. Anyone who met my mother always adopted her as their own.
She will be truly missed by her two daughters, three grandchildren, five great grandchildren, three sisters, and a host of nieces, nephews, and many loving friends.
Friends and family are invited to attend a quite viewing at Spangler Mortuaries located at 399 S. San Antonio Rd, Los Altos on April 19th 4:30pm – 8pm. Her memorial service will be held on April 22nd at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses located at 429 High Street, Palo Alto.
