Marvin R. Jones

November 1, 1929 — April 5, 2012

Marvin R. Jones, age 82, of Kaukauna, went to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on April 5, 2012 at St. Paul Elder Services, Kaukauna, WI. Marvin was born November 1, 1929 in Kaukauna, son of the late Jerry and Leona (Gast) Jones. On November 13, 1948 he was united in marriage to the love of his life, Wanda Geary. They shared 63 years of marriage. Marvin was a journeyman machinist and worked at Asten Forming Fabric, formerly, Wisconsin Wire Works, for 41 years. After retirement, he worked for two years for Albany International, at that time in Appleton. He was I.A.M. Union president for two terms while at the Wire Works. He was a deacon for his church, Kaukauna Assembly of God, for 30 years and was active in the building and maintenance of his church and others in the area. Marvin tried to be a true servant of anyone who needed him. He enjoyed mowing and snow plowing his whole neighborhood. If you needed him, he was there. He also enjoyed and looked forward to the Thursday Night Races at W.I.R. every summer and the Tomah Tractor Pulls with his family and friends. He enjoyed fishing with family and friends at Lake Metonga at Crandon for many years. He looked forward to the third Wednesday of every month to get together with the “Guys” at Galvan's Restaurant in Appleton to solve the problems of the world.

Marvin is survived by his wife Wanda; sons: Randy (Patricia) Jones and Reid Jones; daughter-in-law, Sue Jones; grandchildren: Shaun (Amber) Jones, Pebbles (Lorien) Hegner, and Jennifer (Caleb) Kranz; sister, Eva (Roger) Garton; nine great-grandchildren: Hailey Veldman-Jones, Jamz Jones, Skye Jones, Max and Sam Hegner, Kara, Coralea, William and Gwendolyn Kranz; and four step great-grandchildren: Jordan Stadler, Phoenix Funk, and Bradley and Zayden Liesch. He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers: Robert and Merlyn; and son, Roger Jones; grandson, Casey Lee Jones; and dear sister-in-law, Mildred Welson.

The funeral service will be at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, April 9, 2012 at NEW HOPE ASSEMBLY OF GOD, 1008 Hyland Ave., Kaukauna, with Rev. Matthew Gilkerson officiating.
