Frances "Annette" (Wiley) (Marsh) Jones was born into her legacy as a warrior June 19, 1947, to Ray Franklin and Letha Mae (Findley) Wiley. She gained her wings surrounded by her children and so much love on November 25, 2023.

Annette was a younger half-sister to Robert Davidson and Dorothy Wiley (a sister she never met) and an older sister to Danny and Denny Wiley.

She would often speak of her younger years as trying to keep the boys "on track." Occasionally that consisted of locking them out of the house to get her house chores completed. Annette graduated from Albany High School in 1965, as a Warrior. A few months after graduation she married her high school sweetheart, Larry Marsh. To this union three children were born, Jeffrey Alan, Jennifer Rae, and Jill Annette.

She never shied away from hard work, even at an early age. She worked at the Stanberry Cap Factory, but her true favorite work was at Piz Ridge on the family dairy farm, now known as the Marsh place. The drought in the mid 1980s took a toll on the finances, marriage, and her mental health.

Annette later married Ronald Jones, Jr. with whom she had a son, Justin Wiley. Now having even more family, she enjoyed catching up on the phone. She loved hearing about all of her nieces and nephews. Annette loved taking car rides with the radio up and reading a good book. She often visited the Gentry County Library and the Albany Carnegie Public Library. Annette loved to learn and teach. She taught her children the meaning of love, perseverance, kindness, caring, compassion, and some stubbornness. She was so very proud of her children, grandchildren and great grandchild. She loved to hear stories as to what they were up to and all of their orneriness. She continued her legacy as a Warrior after battling mental health issues, the death of her eldest son, cancer in 1995, the death of her husband, broken bones, cancer again in 2015, more broken bones, and more cancer. Through all of this you would never once hear her complaining. She would even go as far as saying cancer saved her life after the death of her son. Annette was a true caregiver. Annette naturally connected with people throughout Gentry County, Missouri and beyond. She loved people, and she loved giving back in ways both big and small. Annette continued to touch lives at both King City and Pineview Manor. Bean auctions were her passion while living at Pine View Manor. Annette loved a good "party," dancing with her kids in the dining halls on holidays, being a competitor at all games especially at Uno with her daughter. She loved a good purse, pair of shoes, and fashion shows, as well as always keeping everything and everyone in order.

Annette was preceded in death by parents Ray & Letha Wiley, son Jeffrey Marsh, husband Ronald Jones, Jr., brother Robert Davidson, and roommates at King City and Pine View Manor.

Survivors include brothers Danny Wiley and Denny Wiley, children Jennifer (Doug) Waugh, Jill (Steve) Clair, Justin (Silver) Jones, grandchildren Zach and Stuart Waugh, Madison and Garrett Clair, and little Miss Baby Jones arriving in May, and great-granddaughter Alaska Clair.
