Rebekah Imogene Jones, RN, BS Nursing, M.Ed., of Urbana, IL returned to the Lord peacefully on Friday, January 28, 2022 surrounded by her daughters in her home. She was born on April 8th, 1933 in Connellsville, Pennsylvania, the daughter of Lewis Nathan & Mabelle Elizabeth (Hetrick) Scolnick. She married the love of her life, Barclay George Jones, Ph.D., in Connellsville, PA in 1959.

She will be lovingly remembered by her children: Deborah, Allison, Catherine, and Sarah (Jay Kinzie), her admiring grandchildren Jessica, Christopher, Steven, and Rebekah, her brother David Scolnick, brother-in-law Thomas Feeser, sister-in-law Jane Scolnick, sister-in-law Hilda (Forrest) Pederson, and many cherished nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Preceding her to heaven was her adoring and beloved husband of 59 years, Barclay George Jones, her parents, in-laws Ernest & Grace Hughes, brother Lewis Scolnick, sister Marilyn Feeser, sister-in-law Jean Scolnick, brothers-in-law Hilton (Toots), Melvin (Nonie), and Walter Hughes, sisters-in-law Margaret (Albert) Krause, and Erma (Don) Edwards, as well as her grandson Matthew Endres.

A celebration of life for both Rebekah and Barclay will be held later this year. Remembrances can be found at renner-wikoffchapel.com. Messages for the family may be offered there as well.
