Obituary of Murray Stephen Jones

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Murray Stephen Jones after a short battle with cancer at the Stratford General Hospital, with his wife and loving family at his side, on March 14, 2024 at the age of 72.

Loving husband of Bonnie (Pushelberg). Cherished Daddy to Shannon Buuck (Elliott), and Step-dad to Pam Levy (Rob) and Sherry Elliott (Mike). Papa to Sandra Douglas (Andrew), Ariel Levy (Bijay), Tyler Levy, Vanessa Huber, Zack Varley, Gwen Buuck, Norman Buuck, and Johnny Buuck. Great-grandchildren Audree and Jayviut. Murray will be missed by his grand pups Behr and Millie. Brother to Ron Jones (Shelly) Ruth Harlton (Murray, deceased), Bruce Jones, deceased (Maxine), Linda Gregory (John), Janet Thomson (Cecil).  He will be missed by nieces, nephews and Bonnie’s family. Predeceased by sister-in-law Anna Jones, parents Mervin and Bernice, parents-in-law Lloyd and Edith Pushelberg.

Murray worked alongside his parents, brother Bruce and sister Janet at Mervin Jones Drilling (Thorndale) for over 50 years. Murray absolutely loved his job. In retirement, Murray enjoyed his morning coffee with neighbour Cliff, chatting with people around town, spending time at the trailer with Bonnie and his family and ripping up the streets on his scooter or in his corvette.

Special thanks to the doctors, nurses and staff at St. Marys Memorial and Stratford General Hospitals. Murray was able to go in peace thanks to their care.

A Celebration of Life Open House will take place in the Community Hall at the St. Marys Pyramid Recreation Centre, 317 James St. S. St. Marys, on April 7, 2024 from 1 – 4 pm.
