Hi, my name is Lauren, and it is with a heavy heart that I share the passing of my beloved mother, Mercedes Jones.

My mom was a kind, strong, and beautiful soul — someone who always put others before herself and loved without limits. Her warmth, her laughter, and her endless generosity touched the lives of so many. We are heartbroken to say goodbye so soon, but we are holding tight to the memories and love she gave us every day.

We are starting this GoFundMe to help cover the unexpected funeral and memorial costs during this difficult time. The funds raised will go toward:

• Funeral service and burial/cremation expenses

• Memorial arrangements

• Any outstanding medical or legal costs

• Supporting our family as we navigate this sudden loss

Any amount, no matter how small, is deeply appreciated. If you’re not able to donate, sharing this page would also mean so much.

Thank you for the love and support you’ve shown our family — we are truly grateful. Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we try to heal.

With love,

Lauren, Ivory and Family

I will update more information on her service.
