She trained as a nurse, but instead chose to become a teacher, a job she said was more fun. She also taught adult Sunday school at the Second Baptist Church of Los Angeles for more than 50 years.

Jones spent her last few years living in the Los Angeles convalescent home. On her 112th birthday, she received a commendation and a visit from Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley. She died on 27 April 1992 at the age of 112 years, 241 days.
