Louise Burnam Jones On December 21, 1920 Louise Burnam Jones was born to Wilson and Cedonia Burnam, a pioneer Texas family, in Burnet County. Louise passed away peacefully on April 18, 2008, at her home in San Antonio, surrounded by her four children and their spouses. She is survived by two sons; Burnam Jones and wife Emily, Bob Jones and wife Eloisa, as well as two daughters; Mary Leigh Jones, and Sandra Kuykendall and husband Lovell, eleven grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, and her sister, Bernice Sloan. Louise was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Worth Jones, and a son, Tracy Jones. During her childhood, Louise Burnam Jones lived on the family ranch in Burnet and San Saba counties. She enjoyed talking about her early school days, where she and sister Bernice would ride horseback to school on their horse, Skeeter. One of Louise's great passions was teaching. She attended Southwest State Teacher's college in San Marcos. Her first teaching job was at a one-room country school at Sloan Community in San Saba County during the WWII era. Later in life she earned her Batchelor's Degree in teaching at Incarnate Word in San Antonio. She proceeded to teach for 30 years at city Parochial schools – St. Luke's for 17 years and St. Paul's for 13 years. After retiring, Louise was a volunteer at the Institute of Texan Cultures and at the State Hospital. Louise was both a teacher and a student of the Bible. She was an active member of the Lutheran Church of the Resurrection. She taught an adult Sunday School class and led a women's Bible study that met in her home, as well as Bible study at a retirement home. She was a participant in Bible Study Fellowship for many years. This very smart, sweet, loving lady touched many lives. Her soul surely rests in Heaven. Louise will be solely missed, but she will not be forgotten. A memorial service will be held at 7:00 pm Wednesday, April 23, at the Lutheran Church of the Resurrection, 6011 Grissom Road, San Antonio, 78238. The family suggests any memorials be sent to the Louise Jones Memorial Fund at the Lutheran Church of the Resurrection.
