Zerelene E. Jones, better known as Zerky, age 90, of North Wales, PA passed away on May 9^th, 2023.  Zerky is survived by her husband of 66 years, Isaac Jones Jr., her son Isaac Jones III, and her two daughters, Yvonne Jones and Yvette Jones.

Zerky grew up in Lafayette, Louisiana, where she graduated from Paul Breaux High School and received her college degree from Southern University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. She served two and a half years in the Air Force, where she met her husband, Isaac. They started their family while living in Kansas City, Missouri but moved numerous times, living in upstate New York, Colorado, and New Jersey then retiring to Louisiana until a couple of years ago, when declining health forced a move to Pennsylvania to live with her daughter, Yvonne.  

She easily made great friends wherever she lived. She thoroughly enjoyed being a physical education teacher and tennis coach during the early years. Her favorite past-time was playing bridge, traveling the country to attend tournaments and becoming a Life Master, as well as a beloved teacher of the game for many.  

As the daughter of a pastor, she loved being involved with the church, no matter where she was and maintained regular attendance until the end. Being able to attend church allowed her to feel that she was living life to the fullest.

A memorial service will be held in Zerky’s honor at Montgomery Square United Methodist Church, 1900 County Line Rd, North Wales, PA 19454 on Saturday, June 24^th at 11 a.m. The Jones family will also receive visitors from 10 a.m. – 10:45 am prior to the 11 a.m. memorial.  A repast will be held at the church after the service.
