Wanda J. Jones

Wanda J. Jones, age 82, of Eaton, OH passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday, April 22, 2026. She was born May 2, 1943 in Flemingsburg, KY to the late Howard and Hazel (Stacy) Osborn.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by sons Terry and Bob Hickman; grandchildren Amber and Christopher Hickman; brother Jerry Osborn; sister Anna Ditmer; and son-in-law Mike Kelley.

She is survived by her daughter Dee Kelley of Eaton; grandchildren Dustin Kelley of Eaton and Kristin (Tyler) Walton of Eaton; great grandchildren Ethan Kelley, Emma Walton and Nevaeh Roark; great great grandchild Crew Kelley; and special friend Cheryl Gallant of Eaton.

Wanda was a devoted mother and granny. Her greatest joy came from time spent with those she loved, whether gathered around the table, cheering from the sidelines or simply sharing everyday moments. She had a passion for sports; she never missed a Reds or Bengals game. She found peace and happiness in the simple things in life; she loved nature in all its forms, flowers in bloom, quiet moments outdoors and every animal or critter she encountered. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by her family and friends.

A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, May 16, 2026 from 1:00 pm until 4:00 pm at the Eaton Country Club, 100 Morton Road, Eaton, OH.
