Susan Loretta Jones

Susan Loretta "Sissie" Jones (née Proctor), aged 82, passed away on August 18, 2024, in El Paso, Texas. She was born October 19, 1941 at the family home, near Corona, New Mexico. Sissie was well loved by her family and stayed active in the Corona community all her life.
Sissie graduated from Corona Schools in 1959 and married Sonny Jones. They lived in Bloomfield, New Mexico, where she became a school bus driver, a career she had for over 40 years, retiring from Tatum Schools in Tatum, New Mexico. She loved her job and drove millions of miles. After retirement, she moved to Hope, New Mexico and began her life with Sam Teel, eventually moving to Sonora Texas.
Mom loved to dance, she and Sam went dancing every chance they got. She loved going camping with her family and teaching the kids how to find "Indian stuff" around the ranch. She was always willing to help, and whatever you were doing, she would make a hand. She was the best Mom and Granny a person could ask for and we will miss her dearly.
Sissie is survived by her sons, Leonard Greg Jones (Gloria), Wesley Jones (Janie), and Patrick Jones (Beatriz); grandsons, Devin Jones (Savanna), Angelo VanVleet, and Xander Jones; granddaughters, DeeAnna Batchelder (Victor), and Tina Bowman; great-grandsons, Grayson Batchelder, Tatum Jones, Austin (Mackenzie), Vincent and Jesse Bowman; great-granddaughter, Lorna Bowman; great great granddaughter Iris Bowman; brother, Bo Proctor; sisters, Radna Proctor and Alma Hobbs; brother-in-law, Dale Jones (Karen); sister-in-law, Mary Mohler (John); her special life and dancing partner, Sam Teel and his son, Cody and daughter-in-law Tarra Teel, and numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, and their families.
