Judi Kaye Jones, 77, of Grainfield, Kansas passed away Saturday, March 6, 2021, at her daughter Jamie’s home in rural Sheridan County. Judi was born July 31, 1943, in Colby, Kansas to Vernon and Fern (Andrews) Jones.
Her family moved to several locations in Northwest Kansas. Judi
attended high school in Jennings, Kansas and later received her GED.
After high school, she married Jim Jones, and they lived in Jennings,
Kansas. Judi and Jim were blessed with three daughters. They later
divorced. Judi moved to Oberlin, Kansas where she met and married Bill
Rogers. Judi and Bill resided in rural Selden and had one son born from
this union, Yancey. They later divorced. Judi moved to Norton where
she lived and worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant, waitress and
finally as a caretaker for her parents until their death. After the
death of her parents and as her health failed, she moved to rural
Sheridan County to live with her daughter.
Judi enjoyed being and working outside. She always had a large
garden that helped feed her family. She loved all animals, and they
loved her. Rarely would you find her without a dog by her side. Judi
really loved her family and got great joy being with them and taught
her children the value and strength of family. She recalled Sundays
when she was growing up how her family would get together with Aunts,
Uncles, and Cousins to visit and have a meal. Judi was a loving person.
