Obituary of Uland Jones

**Obituary for Uland Mingulite Jones** *November 28, 1929 – February 13, 2025* It is with a heavy heart we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, great- grandmother, sister, and friend, Uland Mingulite Jones, who peacefully went to Heaven on February 13, 2025. Born in Trinidad, West Indies, on November 28, 1929, to Martin Rondon and Rita Noray, Uland was a beacon of strength, love, and wisdom throughout her remarkable life. Uland was the cherished matriarch of a large and loving family. She was one of six siblings, leaving behind a legacy of love and unity among her three sisters and two brothers. She was the devoted wife of the late Rennie Malcolm Jones, with whom she built a beautiful life and raised nine children: Cecil, Frankie, June, Nickey, Pandy, Marcia, Eric, Erica, and Fidel. Her legacy extends to countless grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and even great-great- grandchildren, all of whom she adored and inspired. Affectionately known as "Mami", Uland was more than a mother—she was a teacher, mentor, motivator, and spiritual guide. She was the foundation upon which her family stood, instilling in her children the values of discipline, resilience, and faith. Mami was a true warrior, a "drill sergeant"; when needed, but also a confidant and spokeswoman who always believed in her children's potential. Her unwavering confidence in her family empowered them to overcome challenges, and her lessons continue to resonate in their lives. Mami’s influence extended beyond her home. She was a pillar of her community of Rose Hill, and our Caribbean Queen who touched the lives of many with her wisdom, kindness, and unwavering faith. She served as a spiritual leader, guiding her family and others through her profound beliefs and compassionate demeanor. Her legacy of love, strength, and perseverance will forever live in the hearts of those who knew her. Though we mourn her passing, we celebrate the extraordinary life she lived and the profound impact she had on all of us. Mami’s memory will forever be a source of inspiration, and her spirit will continue to guide us in everything we do. Uland Mingulite Jones will be deeply missed, but her legacy of love, faith, and strength will remain alive in the hearts of her family and all who were blessed to know her. Rest in peace, our dear Mami, our Caribbean Queen. Until we meet again, you will forever be in our hearts and minds. *"Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 'Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all." – Proverbs 31:28-29* With love and gratitude, The Jones Family
