Dollis Claudette (Davis) Jones, 74, of Waldoboro, passed away peacefully on May 30th, 2017 at Maine Medical Center, in her husband’s arms with her loving family surrounding her.

She was born October 27th, 1942, to Earl Wendall Davis and Mildred (Johnson) Davis.
Dollis grew up in Mercer and attended the Riverview Seventh Day Adventist Grade School and graduated from Messalonskee High School in Oakland.

On April 2nd, 1961 she married Leroy Lee Jones.

While Leroy was in the service they lived in Wareham, Massachusetts, a place in which they made lifelong friends. After his time in the service they were Park Rangers at Baxter State Park, where the family still has very fond memories. They moved back to the Norridgewock area to raise their family so they could send them to Christian school. She loved her family and was proud to be the wife of Chief Leroy Jones.

Dollis became a dental assistant and hygienist for Dr. Turk in Madison for several years and was an office manager for Dr. Denis Beaudoin in Waldoboro, before retiring in 2009. She also held a foreman position for Dwight Newman at Christmas Tree acres. She and her husband Leroy also ran the Jones Christmas Tree Farm for many years. She retired so she could enjoy her real passion which were her flower gardens, and accomplished her lifelong goal to become a Master Gardener. Dollis loved spending time at the 7 Acres on the Sandy River in Norridgewock and enjoyed many family gatherings there.

Dollis was predeceased by her parents and sisters Dawn Poirier, Daphlyn Ingraham and Dail Starbird.
