She is wearing the dress that she wore at their wedding.
After graduation in 1959, I worked at the Foley Hospital, Vanity Fair Sewing Factory in Robertsdale and various food and beverage establishments in Gulf Shores. In 1976, I moved 200 miles from Baldwin County to Malone, Florida and married Roy Jones. I had two previous very short marriages but on the third try, I got it right. We celebrated our Silver Wedding Anniversary on July 6th.
We moved to Fort Myers in 1977. I attended Secretarial School at a local college for one year after arriving. I worked at the Fort Myers Yacht Club or the Naples Sailing Yacht Club for the next two years. In 1980, I retired to the role of housewife. With the exception of local volunteer case work with Hospice occasionally, I have been exclusively a housewife since 1980.
Roy was employed in Construction Management. The last 20 years of his career, he was with a large international company working exclusively in Florida. In 1999 at age 59, he retired.
Ten years prior to his retirement, we built a second home two miles from Malone at his childhood homeplace. After his retirement, our second home in Malone became our primary residence. We recently sold our home in Ft. Myers and purchased a second home in Spring Valley Subdivision in Summerdale which is my home town.
Roy and I had no children after we were marrried, however, I have onedaughter and he has two by previous marriages. One daughter lives in Washington, DC, one in Marianna, Florida and the other in Summerdale. We have two grandsons, two granddaughters and one great grand daughter.
My hobbies include collecting records and albums from the 1950�s, 60s and 70s, recipes, coins and endless genealogy research. I am very pleased to have carried not one but two of my family lines back to the 1300�s. My research was not done on the computer. My searching lead me to courthouses, cemeteries, archives, libraries and, the very important Salt Lake City for my information.
One advantage to getting hooked on genealogy is when vacation time comes, place�s to go is usually predetermined.
