Donald L. "Donnie" Jones, 87, of Owensboro, passed away Wednesday, April 7, 2021 under the care of Hospice of Western Kentucky. He was born in Owensboro to the late James Dola and Lena Mae Huff Jones.

Donnie retired from Green River Steel after thirty years of service. However, he was involved in farming throughout his entire adult life. Especially when younger, he was hands on with the farming. In later years he also bought, improved and sold farms. Donnie enjoyed fishing and boating.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by four sisters, Betty Boone, Marie Stewart, Dora Westerfield and Wanda Jones Oldham; and two brothers, Ronnie Jones and J.D. Jones.
Mr. Jones is survived by sisters, Lucille O'Bryan of Hawesville and Sandra Bowman of Owensboro; companion, Brunhilde Hansen of Owensboro; many nieces and nephews; and his beloved dog, Lady.

The family would like to thank the staff at the Heartford House and Feel the Love Home Healthcare (Phyllis Siddon) for the dedicated care provided to Mr. Jones.
