Israel Jones

Israel was educated in the Evansville Catholic School System graduating from Memorial High School. He later obtained his Barber’s License and received his Cosmetologist License at North Main Beauty Academy where he became employed as a licensed instructor.

Although he was raised in the Catholic faith, Israel had become a regular worshipper at Friendship Baptist Church.

Israel was blessed with three sons: Dondi Bacon-Wruble, Deshay Neal Jones, and
Pierre Briscoe; four grandchildren: Deshay N. Jones II, Jani Jones, Traiden A. Bacon-Wruble, Joslynn A. Bacon-Wruble; four great-grandsons: Deshay N Jones III, Dash N. Jones, Kysonn N. Jones, and Jekai Jones.; and a host of other relatives and friends, all of whom will mourn his loss.
