Laura Kate (Pye) Jones

Laura Kate Pye Jones, age 94, of Lyons, died Saturday, February 15, 2025, at Oxley Park Health & Rehab in Lyons following an extended illness.  She was a native of Toombs County, living in the Marvin Yancey Community until moving to Lyons in 1983. She was a 1948 graduate of Lyons High School.  She was a homemaker and earlier in her life, she was actively involved in all aspects of farming.  She retired after more than twenty years as a chair side assistant with Dr. Wilbur New in Lyons.  She was a former member of Providence Missionary Baptist Church and is a charter member of The Oaks Baptist Church in Lyons where she taught Sunday school at both churches, but was primarily involved with children in the nursery.  She enjoyed vegetable gardening, yard work, and crocheting for countless family and friends, more especially for newborns.  The thing she enjoyed most, however, was cooking for her family.  Her former husband, Hayden Jones, Sr.; granddaughter, Julia Elizabeth Jones; parents, Claude Watson Pye, Sr. and Ethel Virginia Holliman Pye; and twelve siblings, Curtis, Talmadge, Jake, Claude, Gaston, William, Jim, Willard, and Jack Pye, Mary Pye Hudson, and Ruth Pye Sharpe, Merle Pye Wilkes, precede her in death.
