Rebecca Coates Jones was born on March 10, 1926 to the late Leonard and Blanche Rawlings Coates in Calvert County, MD.

On Friday, August 24, 2012 our beloved sister departed this life at South River Health and Rehabilitation Center in Edgewater Md. She was the fourth child of nine children. Rebecca received her education in Calvert Country Public School System.

She was the wife of Ernest E Jones (deceased) and for many years they farmed from morning until night. Rebecca also had a love for painting, she was constantly painting the interior in her house one week it would be one color the next week it would be something else.

Rebecca loved to cook; her favorite dessert was White Potato pie, which she made for family and friends for years, until her health started to fail her. In her leisure time you would see her doing cross word puzzles or looking at Walker Texas Ranger or the Soap Operas, and from time to time you would hear her singing throughout the house.

Rebecca leaves to cherish: 1 Daughter, Della Jones; 3 sons, Eugene, Ernest and Carvel; 2 sisters, Alice Wills of Suitland MD and Mary H. Hatchett of Annapolis MD; 2 Brothers, Thomas Coates of Annapolis MD and James Coates of Upper Marlboro MD; 2 Sisters in-law Sadie Coates Of Capital Heights MD and Vanessa Coates of Upper Marlboro MD, and a host of other relatives and friends.
