Susan H.

JONES

Susan H. JONES, born on September 10, 1947, in Dansville, NY, peacefully departed this world on November 10, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family in the comfort of her home in Wellsville. 

Susan's life was a tapestry of love, laughter, and dedicated service to her family and community. The beloved daughter of Theodore Jordan and Estella Hazzard, Susan was predeceased by her cherished parents, but their legacy of kindness and compassion lived on through her every action. 

Susan is survived by her former husband Gary Moss, to whom she was married at Alfred, in October of 1969. They later moved to Texas and New Jersey where her children were born before returning to the Allegany County area in 1974. 

Susan started a new chapter in her life when she married Kirby Jones, who survives, on November 26, 1993, in Richburg. Her memory lives on through her children, Tara Moss and Collin Moss, and her cherished grandchildren, Hunter (Chelsie Lopez) Kamlay, Brian Moss, and Amanda Moss, along with her great-grandson, Killian Kamlay. Susan is also lovingly remembered by her brother, Jim Jordan. 

Susan's journey began with a solid foundation at Wellsville High School, from which she graduated in 1965. Her thirst for knowledge led her to Mansfield State College and Alfred State College Vocational Division in Wellsville, where she earned an associate's degree in Drafting. 

Her career path took her to various veterinary offices as a dedicated veterinarian technician, and later to Fisher's Pharmacy in Wellsville, where she served as a pharmacy clerk. Her professional life was characterized by a sincere commitment to helping others, whether human or animal. Her love for animals was profound, as evidenced by her work training her German Shepherd Dogs in various disciplines and her involvement with raising and breeding horses. Susan's compassionate spirit extended to her volunteer work with the SPCA in Steuben and Allegany counties, where she made a difference in the lives of countless animals. 

Susan's warm-hearted nature was her hallmark. She was always ready with a joke and a smile, bringing light to any room she entered. Her willingness to lend a helping hand, even if it was just a comforting hug, endeared her to all who knew her. 

A service to celebrate Susan's extraordinary life will be held at Olney-Foust & Embser Funeral Homes & Cremation, 34 West State Street, Wellsville, NY. 

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in Susan's memory to the SPCA serving Allegany County, an organization that was close to her heart. 

As we say goodbye to Susan, we carry her spirit with us, inspired by her kindness, love, and unyielding dedication to her family and community. She will be dearly missed and fondly remembered by all whose lives she touched.
