Her love extended to her great-grandchildren Bailey Stricklin, Landen, Linus, Tavis, Louise, June, and Mae Jones as well along with numerous other family and friends. Virginia was not only a dedicated mother and grandmother but also a successful business owner, having run Bo-Ka Korner Flower Shop for 20 years. She was a devoted pastor's wife, offering her supportive direction and gift of song to those in need. Her caring nature radiated in every facet of her life, and she took great pride in her family, boldly stepping up to tackle any challenge that came her way. Virginia Louetta Prather Jones touched the lives of many with her kindness, dedication, and love. Her memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew her, and her legacy of love will continue to inspire us all. A funeral service will be held on Thursday, September 14th at 1 o'clock at Mt.
