Sandra (Sandy) Jones

Sandra “Sandy” Jones (nee Burawski), age 83, of New Castle, Delaware passed away peacefully Friday evening, September 5, 2025. She was born in Wilmington, Delaware to the late Alexander and Helen Burawski (nee Kowalski) and graduated from Wilmington High School in 1960 after attending grade school at Saint Elizabeth High School. Out of high school, she worked as an OR technician at Saint Francis Hospital until becoming a home maker in 1968. She also worked for a short time in the 70s at Wilmington College’s daycare. Her happiest moments were spending time with family and friends, particularly her grandchildren, playing games, going to the parks, swimming pools, carnivals and joyous family functions and vacations. Sandy also loved bowling. She bowled in many leagues at Bowlerama from 1978 until 2018, when her knees no longer allowed her to continue. Over the years she donated time to her community, became a Boy Scout leader, team mother, and especially enjoyed working the polls during election years. Sandy is survived by her devoted husband of 58 years, Howard Jones Sr; her three children: Carolann Gretz (Adam Parlow), Felicia Schellinger, Howard Jones Jr (Janet Straughn Forrest); and her 9 adored grandchildren: Shannon Knych (John), Clorissa Hosey, Leighann Jones, Daniel Jones, Theodore Gretz, Dustin Schellinger (Katelyn Lang), Kaylee Schellinger, James Forrest, and Jazmine Forrest, as well as her great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. She is also survived by siblings: Barbara Cocco, Alexander Burawski Jr, Carolyn Burawski, and Theresa Duryea-Stack (Joseph). In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her sisters, Helen Litzenberger and Delores Krujaick. A visitation for family and friends will be held from 10:30 AM – 12 Noon with a Christian service to follow on Thursday, September 18, 2025, at 12 Noon at Strano & Feeley Family Funeral Home, 635 Churchmans Road, Newark, DE.
