Support for Barbara Jones' Children After Tragic Loss

It is with broken hearts that we share the sudden and tragic passing of Barbara Jones — a devoted mother, cherished friend, and remarkable woman. Barbara recently underwent the Whipple procedure, a complex but often life-saving surgery. While she was expected to be in recovery, complications arose, and heartbreakingly, she passed away — a devastating outcome that occurs in fewer than 5% of Whipple cases.

Barbara leaves behind her three children: Brittany (25), Megan (23), and Zach (17). Her loss has turned their world upside down.

Barbara was the heart of the Jones family — a constant source of love, strength, and support. Her passing has left a void that cannot be filled, especially for her children, who now face the unthinkable: navigating life without their mom’s guidance, comfort, and care.

In addition to the deep emotional loss, the family is facing serious financial challenges. They will soon need to find a new place to live, and both Megan and Zach are at pivotal moments in their lives. Megan, who was financially dependent on Barbara, is just weeks away from graduating college. Zach is preparing to begin his first year of college in the fall.

We are asking for your help in easing the burden this family now carries. Donations will go toward housing, education costs, and essential living expenses — providing Brittany, Megan, and Zach with stability and support as they begin to rebuild their lives.

Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference. Thank you for your love, compassion, and generosity during this unimaginably difficult time.
