Patricia "Patty" Jo Jones

Patricia Jo “Patty” Jones, 91, went to be with her Lord and Savior on November 10, 2026, surrounded by her family. Patty was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on February 1, 1935, one of eight children born to Marvin and Ada (Lively) Wilmoth. Patty went to Classen High School and graduated in 1952. Through a dear mutual friend, Patty was “set up” with Earl Jones and after a first date at Coit’s Drive-In, they knew they were meant to be together. They were married in 1960, and Patty and Earl had two children, Trey and Paula.

Patty was a lifelong, active member of Northwest Baptist Church, from her birth until her death. She just loved her church and served however she was able. Patty rocked more babies at Northwest Baptist than you can count! Church music was her delight, and she sang the old hymns of the church to her last breath. If ever there was a need, Patty showed up every time with her chicken noodle soup and a cake. Even Patty’s hobbies of crocheting, quilting, and sewing turned into acts of service when, during COVID, she and her sister Alice made hundreds of masks. Patty’s greatest joy was being a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She treasured the time they all spent together and cherished all the memories they made.

Patty was preceded in death by her parents; her beloved husband, Earl; sisters, Othella Elkins, Jeane Malone, Barbara Woolum, and Alice Reed; and brothers, Marvin Earl Wilmoth, Jr, Bill Wilmoth, and Maurice Wilmoth.

She is survived by son, Trey Bowden and wife Sheryl; daughter, Paula Gower and husband Grant; brother, Royce Wilmoth and wife Linda; six grandchildren, Christia Clark and husband Kierston, Jessica Herford and husband Chris, David Bowden and wife Meagan, Matt Gower, Cami Sayre and husband Garrett and Charlie Gower and wife Aria; ten great- grandchildren, Londyn, Mason, Libby, Kalani, Chloe, Melody, Zion, Ezra, Murphy and Eli; and a host of nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends. Patty will be deeply missed.

Viewing will be on Saturday, November 14, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., with family present from 4 to 6 p.m. at Mercer-Adams Funeral Service in Bethany, Oklahoma. A service to celebrate Patty’s life will be at 11a.m. on Monday, November 16, 2026, at Northwest Baptist Church, OKC, OK.
