Merly Rose Jones of Sunbright passed away at home Friday, January 30th 2026.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 43 years Eddie Jones; her parents Virgil and Lula Durham; brothers JP, Russell, Harold D. and Daniel Durham.

She is survived by her son Jason and daughter-in-law Christina Jones; grandchildren Logan and Hannah Jones; sisters Carolyn and Ray Howard, Wanda and J. Harold Johnson, Geraldine and Charlie Young and a host of nieces and nephews.

Merly was a loving mother, a proud wife and dedicated fiercely to her family. She loved going to yard sales, goofing off with her grandkids and striking up a conversation with just about anyone she met. She had missed her husband dearly since his passing. Now, by the grace of God’s will, she has been reunited with that lost piece of herself and they are together again.

Pallbearers: Freddy Durham, Rex Spurling, Michael Jones, Clint Jones, Gary Durham, Leon Hall, Jimmy Jones, Logan Jones.

The family will have a graveside service Thursday, February 5, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. at Friends Chapel Cemetery in Deer Lodge.

Schubert Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Merly Rose Jones.
