Dr. Jones, who was a Monroe pediatrician for over 50 years, was born in Petersburg, Virginia, on August 4, 1928. He was graduated from Neville High School at the age of 16 and entered the Army-Air Corps shortly afterward, serving in Japan following World War II.
Upon his return, he attended Louisiana Tech and Tulane University and completed medical school at Tulane in 1953. He completed his pediatric residency at Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston, Texas, where he became Chief Resident of Pediatrics, and participated in specialized training in Boston, Massachusetts, and Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, before returning to his hometown of Monroe to join his childhood pediatrician, Dr. Ralph Talbot, as well as Dr. William Cookston to operate The Children’s Clinic, a long running pediatric practice on North 2nd Street.
Dr. Jones served the Monroe medical community for over 50 years, including one year as Chief of Staff at St. Francis Hospital. Since his retirement, he served as a volunteer for St. Vincent de Paul’s Pharmacy and has been very active at Jesus the Good Shepherd Catholic Church.
While a student at Tulane, he met his first wife, Consuelo "Connie" Hudkins and they married. Their marriage lasted over 50 years and resulted in five children, five grandchildren and three great grandchildren. She passed away in 2007. Dr. Jones later married life-long family friend, Pat Harbuck Sanders Jones.

(Dr. Jones was preceded in death by his son, Wayne Bolling Jones, who died earlier this year.) Five grandchildren: Mathew and Christopher Procell; Chelle Woods and husband, Darin; Amie Smith and husband, Brad; and Sarah Goubert. Three great grandchildren: Aidan Woods, and Allen and Hannah Smith. Two stepchildren: Jimmy Sanders and his wife, Nancy; and Lisa Hanna and her husband, Jim.
