The death of Charles E. “Charlie” Jones, formerly of Lyon's Brook occurred Wednesday evening November 8, 2017 in Valley View Villa, where he resided for the past two years with his wife Doris A. (Munro) Jones. Born in Stanstead, Quebec on February 18, 1926, Charlie was the youngest of three children born to the late Robert and Eva May (Smith) Jones.

He moved to Lyon's Brook in 1976 taking a position at Michelin Tire from which he retried in 1991. He was a member of the Lyon’s Brook United Church. In his spare time he loved to do woodworking in his shop and play his accordion, guitar and harmonicas. He was predeceased by his first wife, Lorraine R. (DeLong) Jones of Sarnia; siblings, Robert Jones and Mary (Jones) Camber, both of Magog, Quebec; and stepdaughter, Linda Munro of Lyon's Brook.
