Georgann Kling Jones

Jones, Georgann Kling, a life-long Daytonian, passed away on December 8th surrounded by her children. She was 73. Despite a twenty-five year battle with Parkinson's Disease, Georgann was always energetic, generous and optimistic. Georgann was the oldest child of George and Anafred Kling of Dayton. She attended Oakwood High School and graduated from Northwestern University with a degree in English language and literature. Georgann loved to read, write, garden, cook and play games. Her bedside table always included a stack of books on her latest topics of interest whether they be Ernest Hemingway, Bonsai gardening or Indonesian rice tables. She loved her large family, valued the uniqueness in each individual and reveled in the raucous stories that arose from family gatherings. She is survived by her children: John Spurlino, Mike Spurlino, Jim Spurlino, Jennifer Jones and Carrie Yearwood; her ten grandchildren; and her four siblings: Diane Surzano, Mike Kling, Suzy Hammons, and George Kling. She was the wife of the late David Jones. The family will have a private family service and requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in her name to the Parkinson's Disease Foundation of New York.
