Lourdes Jones, 70, completed her life's journey on July 22, 2021 at Care One in New Bedford after long battle with cancer.
Born in Samana, Domincan Republic, she moved to Puerto Rico in the 80’s and established her residence in Caparra Terrace with her husband and daughter. Lourdes is survived by her beloved mother Florita Alcala viuda de Jones, daughter, Esther Rodriguez, siblings, Zenaida Azor, Leticia Jones Alcala, Brenda Jones Alcala, Alejandrina Jones Alcala, Marcos Jones Alcala, Leoncio Jones Alcala, Esperaza Jones Alcala, Claudio Jones Alcala, Julio Jones Alcala, Mercedes Acosta, and numerous nieces and nephews.
Lourdes had plenty of stories from her life and travels, but mostly she was content to live simply and was happiest spending time with her family, caring for her cats and watering her flowers.
A strong woman, devoted to her religion Jehovah Witness, her faith never wavered, even when her own well being was at risk. Her conviction was steadfast, and God heard her plea to spare any more suffering from her illness.
Words cannot describe Lourdes’ gratitude for the extraordinary support her family provided. She was also thankful for the exceptional care received at Massachusetts General Hospital and Southcoast Cancer Center.
Thank for giving the family the opportunity to be by your side, we grew closer in the process.
