Kay A. Jones, 86, of Newport News, went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, April 26th, 2025. She was born to Solomon and Rachel Adams on October 30th, 1938, along with her twin, Faye, in New Bern, N.C.
She is now in the arms of Jesus as He greeted her, “Welcome home, thy good and faithful servant.” Kay was a member of Westhampton Baptist Church for over 60 years, serving in multiple capacities. She sang in the choir, taught little ones in Sunday School, served on the Wednesday night dinner team, visited shut-ins and delivered meals, along with Freddie, to the elderly. Her joy was contagious, her energy unlimited and her love for Jesus endless.
Kay retired from Newport News Shipbuilding in November 1993. Most recently, with her unending energy, her love for people, and her joy to serve, she spent 14 years at Chick-fil-A on Mercury Blvd in Hampton. She was a blessing to each customer she came in contact with.
Kay was preceded in death by her husband, Freddie. Kay is survived by her three children, Lou, Leonard (Sevgi), and Lisa (Jim) Munson; her brother Robert; sisters Faye (Joe) Harrison and June (Cecil) Simpkins; five grandchildren, Christina (Gary) Goodson, Kristin (Steven) Colwell, James Jr. (Brandi), Kevin (Jenny) and Ceylan Turner; 17 great-grandchildren, Nikki, Kayleigh, Eli, Hunter, Anna, Emmalyn, Annistyn, Mila, Steven Jr, Tyler, Watson, William, Uriah, Trinity, Jax and Rachael, Ryilee, Nevaeh and Shauna.
