Joyce Ann (Patterson) Jones

Joyce Ann Jones, 92, passed away in Bartlesville on Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2025. Joyce was born on Mar 6, 1933, in Broken Arrow to Raymond Lesley and Cecil Mae (Holladay) Patterson. On Mar 7, 1952, she married Harry Allen Jones. They enjoyed camping, especially at Grand Lake in their 5th wheel. Allen would fish, and Joyce would cook. They also enjoyed their trips to Branson with their friends. Some of their favorite times were when they played Aggravation with the Biens and the Parrish’s.

Joyce was a member of the Spruce Ave. Baptist Church in Bartlesville, and was always thought of as a loving, caring daughter, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She always had time for her family and lovingly cared for her mother and father in their aging years. She was an avid sports fan, always cheering on the OSU Cowboys and was especially fond of the St. Louis Cardinals baseball teams.
