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.
A visitation will be held at Peninsula Funeral Home, 11144 Warwick Blvd., Newport News, VA 23061, on Sunday, May 4th, from 2:00 p.m. to 5 p.m. The Funeral service will be held on May 5th at 2:00 p.m. at Peninsula Funeral Home, with burial to follow at Peninsula Memorial Park.

She was a joy and a huge loss to our family. She indeed was very special. To us she was family. We will miss her greatly. Our hearts and prayers go out to the family.
To a special cousin. Great times growing up together .miss you dearly.
Kay Jones will be sorely missed by us. She and Freddie were quite the team, and we had terrific times of fun, fellowship in the Lord and lots of laughs together. We had our 25th Wedding Anniversary last Sunday, and sure enough, received a card from her. She was always thinking of others. Our love for dear Kay. She will always remain in our hearts.
She was a great lady. God Bless you all.
Loved seeing her at chick fil a she was so nice and welcoming she will be missed
Prayers to her family
Kay touched so many lives in a very best way. I’m grateful I got the chance to meet her in
1981 when I visited Mary’s parents (Paul and Coladean Condron) for the first time. Freddie was Paul’s friend and neighbor. Freddie immediately introduced me to Kay. I remembered her as being friendly, energetic, and kind to me. She made me feel at home. Through the years she never changed her attitude. I also remember she loved Freddie very much. I last saw and talked to her last year. As always we had a pleasant conversation. I will always remember Kay with the warmest of regards.
We wish the Jones’ family peace during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you…
We are so sad to hear about the passing of your sweet mother Kay. She was a great lady. Her obituary says it all. So full of love and energy and her love of family and her Lord Jesus. It is no doubt that she will be missed by all that knew her. Please know that our prayers and thoughts are with all the family and friends and that Our Lord Jesus will be there to comfort you during this difficult time and the days to come. It is also our prayer that He give you what you need the most to get you through. We love you and sorry we could not be there. God bless you all. We love you. Omega & Barbara Howell.
Our deepest condolences on your lost. Your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

We are so sorry to hear of Miss Kay Jones’ passing. She was a blessing to our church for decades and was such a thoughtful and wonderful lady. We will certainly miss her smiling face each Sunday and her special birthday cards that always included bible verses and uplifting messages.
Although we’ll miss her, we are so happy she is in heaven with Jesus!
Our most sincere condolences to her family,
Love,
Ellen, Dave and Benji Hites
