Alice "Faye" Gaither Jones

October 21, 1938 - March 18, 2022

It is with great sadness that the family of Alice “Faye” Gaither Jones announces her passing on Friday, March 18, 2022, at the age of 83. She passed away in the comfort of her home, surrounded by her loving family. Faye was born in Oxford, Alabama on October 21, 1938. She eventually moved with her family to Gary, Indiana where she met and fell in love with Mitchell Jones. When they decided to marry, Indiana state laws prevented the union. This spurred them to move to the state of Kentucky where marriage laws were less strict and the two were united in marriage on July 6, 1957. They remained in Kentucky for the duration of their marriage and raised a close-knit family rooted in the Baptist faith. In her free time, Faye loved cooking and baking. In her younger years she frequently made homemade chocolate fudge on Friday nights. Her children remember those nights fondly. She also enjoyed landscaping, gardening and being outdoors. She had a love for the beach and traveled there every chance she got. In warm weather, you would find her out sunbathing, swimming or tending to her roses. In cooler months she enjoyed bowling and participated in a league for over 10 years. She also loved music, especially Elvis, and dancing. Above all else, Faye loved spending time with her family. She was preceded in death by her parents, John Henry Gaither and Mary Lee Hughes Gaither; her brother, William Gaither; and children, Elva Lee Jones and Curtis Andrew Jones. She leaves behind a host of loving family members including her husband of 64 years, Mitchell Jones; her brother, Linwood Henry Gaither; four children, Charlotte (Donald) Creech, Robert Jones, Douglas (Sheila) Jones, Janice (Harold) Mosley; her grandchildren, Tyler Baker, Brittany (Brooks) Cawood, Jason Collins, Travis (Ashley) Collins, Brandon Smith, Zack Jones, Haley Stepp, Kelsey (Charlie) Gabbard, Alicia Mosley, Devon Mosley and Noah Jones. She also leaves behind many great grandchildren.
