Rosalie Coleen White Jones, 82, passed away in her sleep at 6:00 a.m. on Friday, November 11, at her home in Springfield. She was a second-grade teacher at Eugene Field Elementary School, and many students will remember her as Mrs. White. She taught for 38 years without missing a day. When once asked how she achieved this amazing record she replied: "I just took my sick days in the summer!"

In her younger days, she was a soprano in the Ozarks Chapter of the Sweet Adelines choral group. She was an avid knitter and enjoyed cooking, gardening, and collecting depression glass and teapots. She is survived by her husband of nine years, Doyle Jones; a brother, Howard Petefish; several sons-in-law and daughters-in-law; and many nieces and nephews. Memorial services celebrating her life will be held Wednesday, November 16, at 11:00 a.m. in the Chapel of King's Way United Methodist Church, with the Rev. Fred Royer officiating. Inurnment will take place in the King's Way Columbarium following the Memorial Service. No visitation is scheduled. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the King's Way Choir Fund.
