BROWNSTOWN
Rita Lou (Barlow) Jones, 82, passed away peacefully at Hoosier Christian Village in Brownstown Sunday, August 18, 2024. She was born in Seymour on January 14, 1942, to the late Robert and Edith (Noblitt) Barlow.
Rita married Aden Jones Jr. in December 1961, and they spent 59 wonderful years together until his passing in 2020. After she graduated from Seymour High School, Rita worked at Rose Acre Farms for ten years. Together, she and Aden enjoyed boating and camping at Rough River, Kentucky, and were members of the Fraternal Order of Eagles in Seymour. Rita attended Cornerstone Community Church.
Rita will be remembered as a social butterfly who was always ready to go out on an adventure. She loved to people-watch and was known for her crazy sense of humor. She enjoyed going out to eat, especially for dessert, and she loved shopping. She also liked to play BINGO.
