Elizabeth Jane Jones or "Libby" as her loved ones called her, age 66 of Clermont, passed away

unexpectedly on August 6, 2016. Born Sept. 8, 1949, Libby, daughter of Bob and Sue Pool and

Razz and Eileen Bowen, was a member of what is considered "old Clermont". A graduate of

Clermont High School, Libby was married to Daniel W. (Mary) Jones for 16 years and raised

three beautiful children-Brad, Dax, and Danielle.

From early on in her life, Libby enjoyed traveling and camping. She was no stranger to

"roughing it in the wilderness" and embarked on many great adventures and camping trips

which included almost every state park in Texas and even a month abroad in Africa. Libby

worked for Duke Energy as a right-of- way agent and retired 5 years ago. She relocated from

Texas back to Clermont where her passion for gardening and growing things took off. Libby was

an avid gardener and enjoyed sharing her passion and stories of gardening and farming with her

family and friends.

Libby grew up surrounded by her brothers and sisters, cousins, and friends and many stories

have been shared again reiterating everything that made Libby so special in so many people's

eyes -her humor, her beauty, her strength, her love of life. She had a smile that lit up a room

and laugh you would recognize long before you ever had the honor or privilege of laying eyes

on her.

Surviving are children Brad (Vicki) Jones (grandchildren Samantha and Colby), Dax (Melissa

Hazzard) Jones, Danielle Jones, and Tirza Ebanks. Siblings Bob (Bev) Pool, Dan (Elaine) Pool,

Nancy Ingersoll, Alan (Katherine) Pool, Sarah (Keith) Hogan, Michael Pool, Polly (Mark)

Strawbridge, and Shelly (Bryan) Young. 17 nieces and nephews and numerous cousins. She is

preceded in death by Craig Bowen (brother), Mathew Ingersoll (nephew), maternal

grandparents Jake and Grace Moore and paternal grandparents Morris and Eldora Bowen.

In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that you please consider living plants and/or re-

potable plants/trees that will be planted to create a memory garden at her home or monetary donations in her name

to Esther Moms of Orlando or the Russel Home of Orlando.

A Celebration of Life ceremony will be held on August 13 at 4pm in the Sanctuary of the First

United Methodist Church of Clermont (950 7 th Street, Clermont, FL 34711). Following the

service, please join the family at 12530 Lake View Lane, Clermont for the receiving of family and

friends.
