Mrs. Carol Jones, of Port Washington Road in the Town of Grafton, peacefully passed into her Lord's arms on Tuesday afternoon, November 7, 2017, at the age of 96. Carol was born in Wonewoc, WI on January 18, 1921, daughter of Harve and Veronica Ratzburg Schroeder. She attended local schools before entering Ms. Brown's Secretarial School in Milwaukee. Carol had a great interest in music and played saxophone in the Wonewoc City Band, where she met a handsome trumpet player, Vawn Jones. They were united in marriage at Trinity Lutheran Church in Fort Lauderdale, FL on March 19, 1944. The couple settled in Port Washington after the war. Vawn preceded Carol in death in 1995. Faith was an important part of Carol's life. She was a member of St. John's Lutheran Church in Port Washington, a charter member of the Lutheran Women's Missionary League, former member of the Altar Guild, former member of the Ladies Aid, and had enjoyed the "Prime Timers" group at church. Carol was an avid reader and enjoyed working puzzles of all kinds as well as sewing, counted cross stitch and needlework. She was a sharp card player and was partial to playing Solitaire on the computer. She developed many computer skills and loved keeping in touch with her family on Facebook. Above all, Carol treasured her grandchildren and time spent with her family and friends. Her butterhorns and pfeffernusse were family favorites and will be greatly missed.
