Doris Jones, 95

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. —  Doris Florence (Hamilton) Jones, 95, of Williamstown, died in the loving care of her family on September 19, 2026. Born in North Adams, MA on February 9, 1931, she was the daughter of Grant E. and Elizabeth (Klein) Hamilton.

Doris attended local schools in North Adams. She graduated from St. Joseph’s High School and obtained a bachelor's degree at North Adams State Teacher’s College. After teaching in the North Adams and Clarksburg schools, Doris transitioned to working in banking. She was employed with the Williamstown National Bank and former First Agricultural Bank among others, for many years. She also assisted with bookkeeping at Al’s Auto Body Shop, her son’s business, and was a bookkeeper at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Williamstown.

An avid bridge player, Doris also enjoyed cooking (her language of love), gardening and puzzling. Her greatest joy was found in spending time with her family and many friends.

Doris is survived by her loving children, Mark Jones (Donna) of Charlestown, RI, Richard Jones (Debbie) of Williamstown, Carolyn Jones (Lucy Pavalock) of North Adams, Eileen Jones of Sausalito, CA, and Susan Polo (Jeff) of Terrebonne, OR; eight grandchildren, seven great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. Doris is predeceased by her brother, Grant J. Hamilton, and sister, Elizabeth Freiberg.

The family will host a "Thing in the Spring" to celebrate Doris's life. The family would also like to thank everyone at HospiceCare in the Berkshires for their compassionate and professional care in Doris's final days and would suggest donations to that organization in her memory.

Such sad news to hear about Doris...
We will remember all the great bridge games at our house that Doris came. She loved bridge when was winning...and hated it when she was losing. She was a wonderful friend to many ...she will be sadly missed.

Carolyn, Eileen and the entire family.
I was so saddened to hear about the loss of your mother. She was a grand lady. I loved seeing and talking to her at the bank whenever I needed help with my account. She was always so kind. Then when she was done helping me I would give her a corny joke or a funny story and she would give me such a side eye, and then I would see a smirk on her face. She was a classy lady and I will miss her.
