Linda aka Lina Mae Jones

Linda aka Lina Jones Obituary Linda Mae Jones nee’ Rox, 70yrs, of Cleveland, Ohio, passed away on March 3, 2022 while bravely battling cancer. Linda was born on May 1, 1951, daughter of Richard Lee Rox Sr. and Sussie Rox nee’ Daniel in Cleveland, Ohio. Linda was 7th child of eleven children. After Linda left Collinwood high school in 1968, she went on to study at Woodland Job Training Center where Linda met Frederick E. Jones Sr., they married on July 20th 1969 and went on to have 5 children. Linda was Baptist at an early age by Reverend Thompson E. Weems at New Bethel Baptist Church and Linda sang in the choir as a child. As purported by her siblings, Linda was an amazing make-up and hair stylist. Linda was a quiet younger child and she loved to sing and often would do arts & crafts. Linda was a very clean child and had immaculate skills in ironing and cooking. A ‘wild-child’ growing up in the 60’s, Linda always said how everything changed for her when she met Fred had her children & Fred would take her to Travel all over the USA as a family. Linda’s family was her sole focus, and she worried over her children and took care of them with Fred until the end. Linda was a free spirit, she believed in flexibility, modifications and constant change. Linda valued loyalty, honesty, and authenticity. She believed that everyone needed their ass kicked and believed in old school values. Linda loved music; all of it; everything from 60’s R&B to the 70’s Disco Soul to the early 80’s vibe. Linda sung for a short spell in Los Angeles, CA and was even on the “Gong Show”. Linda had an amazing sense of humor and a beautiful laugh! Her wit was razor sharp and she was known to say the most shocking thing she could think of, for those who knew her, in hopes of helping you see a new perspective in life, she would ask “who’s in your Soul”. She made her whole family laugh with her outrageous and exaggerated facial expressions, and all her silly to serious sayings. Linda was kind & mean, generous & compassionate. Even when she spoke in anger, and beating your ass, she was often the first to apologize in her own way and to try to heal what was broken. She believed in autonomy and dignity and a person’s right to choose the life they see fit. She struggled with the concept of tough love and was fiercely independent and private. She loved her entire family, despite their quirks and disfunction. She worried about them, rooted for them, protected them, resented them, forgave them, and always kept on loving them in her own way. Linda will be desperately missed by all those that she’s left behind. Our hearts are so broken by this loss. She was one of a kind and truly a blessing.
