Martha Wilson Jones passed away peacefully at home in Beulaville surrounded by family and friends one day shy of her 95th birthday. Martha was born in Duplin County on February 23, 1931 to the late George Taylor and Inez Pickett Wilson. In addition to her parents, Martha was preceded in death by her husband, Beasley Murray Jones, and all five of her siblings: Margaret Batts (Fayette), Annie Mae Matthews (Gordon), Joe Wilson (Dolly), Mary Alice Dail (Gerald) and Johnnie Gray (Pat).
Martha and husband Beasley were the perfect farm couple. She tirelessly worked alongside him in their fields, country store and feed mill in nearby Jones County, NC. She was also a longtime member of Beulaville Baptist Church, loved singing in the choir and was reportedly its oldest living member at the time of her death.
Martha is survived by her two children: Murray Wilson Jones (Louise) and Joseph Timothy Jones (Denise); four grandchildren: Murray Wilson Jones Jr (Anna), Louise Reston Jones Chambers (Ben), Timothy Dock Jones (Chelsea) and Kate Jones Lanier (Paxton); 8 great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

The family is especially appreciative of Martha’s local Beulaville friends, including but not limited to Doris Bostic, Katie Miller and JoAnn Cavenaugh, and two very special care-givers Beverly Murphy and Jennifer Roberts. Lastly, an additional thank-you goes to all the wonderful staff at 3HC Home Health & Hospice Care.
