Ms. Phyllis Jones

Queen Phyllis Storey Jones was born in Brooklyn, New York on July 11, 1938 to the late Joseph John Storey and Mildred Schermerhorn-Storey. Phyllis was the youngest girl of eight siblings. She was a loving mother, sister, auntie, grandmother, great grandmother, and yes great-great grandmother. She was educated in the New York City School System and always had a passion for nursing. She married Hugh Pongee Jones in 1956, and from that union came five beautiful daughters, Diane Tonya, Jennifer Marie, Kim Viola, Shyremia Phyllis and Talena Paula, who we were blessed to have in our lives for just a few months before God called her home. Diane Storey-Jones, Phyllis’s eldest daughter, preceded her in death, but gave her one of the greatest joys of her life her grandson/son, Damion MarkQue Jones, who raised her as her own. She always said Damion was the son she never had. Phyllis relocated to Queens, NY because she wanted a fresh start. However, she was proud of her background and never forgot her Brooklyn roots. Phyllis and her girls were in Brooklyn every weekend visiting her Mom, sisters, brother and their families. She loved to travel, she flew to Germany and Paris to visit her daughters while they were living overseas. Later, she would take the bus from New York to North Carolina to show her love for her family. When her granddaughter was in a pageant, she flew to California to be a part of the special moment. To her, family was everything. Phyllis was so caring, she loved her family. She was always helping someone in need. After raising her children, she opened her home to care for foster children. Phyllis had many roommates over the years, it was her nature to assist others and provide them with a place to live. Her kindness didn’t stop there, she also fed whoever was in her home at mealtime. Phyllis is predeceased by her parents John and Mildred, her husband Hugh Jones, her daughters Diane and Talena, her grandson Hashim Camps and her great grandson Zyneeq Quadir Camps-Ward.
