Listen to Obituary
Dolores Parker Jones age 87 of Louisville, passed away on Saturday, December 12, 2020. She was born on February 5, 1933, to the late Ulysses and Susie Parker of Trenton, Kentucky. She expressed her faith and belief in God at an early age at Queen Ann Baptist Church in Trenton, Kentucky. Dolores was educated in the Todd County Public School System. She attended Rosenwald Elementary School where she was the Salutatorian of her class. She attended Todd County Training High School in Elkton, Kentucky.
Dolores was the sixth of eight children of which five preceded her in death. They were Flora Harrison, Catherine White, Ulysses Parker Jr., Susie Atkins and Henry Jesse Parker. She was married to the late James Henry Trice Sr. until his death on August 8, 1954. This union was blessed with two children, Theresia Trice Colbert and James Henry Trice Jr. She later married Charles Ellis Jones and was blessed with one child, Sherri Jones.
She attended Queen Baptist Church and served her church faithfully by being on the usher board, pianist for the junior and senior choir, worked with the children of the church on the Easter and Christmas programs. She was a speech writer and expected the children who she worked with, as well as her own, to memorize their speeches. She assisted the adults at the church and those in the community to write welcomes, obituaries, words of comfort, acknowledgements and speeches for different occasions.
She was a singer and did solos for different programs at churches and in the community. She was an excellent cook. Many members of her church and her friends wondered what she would bring to different events and waited for her food to be served. She taught and made sure her two daughters and son knew how to cook.
Visitation will be 10 to 11am on Friday, December 18, 2020 at Burnett Avenue Baptist Church, 6800 S. Hurstbourne Parkway, Louisville, Kentucky. A private funeral will follow with burial in Highland Memory Gardens in Mt. Washington, Kentucky. Masks are required.
