Kathleen Ann McGregor Jones, 71, passed away June 20, 2018 at home after a short battle with cancer. She was born November 21, 1946 in Richmond, California to Gordon and Rosemary McGregor. She grew up in Bountiful, Utah and graduated from Judge Memorial Catholic High School. She married Richard (Ric) Jones on September 6, 1966 in Paris, Idaho; she was devoted to supporting his career and raising their three sons.

Kathleen lived a full life. She loved to travel and spend time with her family. Kathy cherished her annual trips to Hawaii with her dear friend Nancy. She enjoyed golf, bridge, and bowling with her many friends. As an avid sports fan, she loved cheering on the Utah Jazz and University of Utah Athletics. She was very involved within the Catholic Church and served as treasurer for the National Council of Catholic Women. She also volunteered with the Utah State Bowling Association and was a member of the Saint Olaf's Council of Women. She was especially proud to be a Blue Star Mother; all three of her sons served in different branches of the military.
