‘She Made People Happy’

Family, friends, fellow musicians and library colleagues gathered at the Meadow at Boxerwood this past Thursday, April 16, to say goodbye to Carol Elizabeth Jones. Many of those present shared heart-felt tributes to a woman who was deeply rooted and influential in traditional mountain music. Jones, 65, who died of cancer four days earlier, was also an educator and librarian that directed the Rockbridge Regional Library’s youth services for many years and, prior to that, the library’s literacy and language center.
