Lynette Jones

Lynette Renee (Maple) Jones, 57, of Monrovia, was unexpectedly called to complete her earthly journey after enduring a heart attack at home on Tuesday, October 21, 2025. She was born on August 28, 1968, in Rushville, Indiana, to Clifford Theodore Maple and Pamela Lee (Linville) King. Lynette Jones, the name itself sounds like a declaration. She wasn’t a woman you met; she was a force of nature you experienced. The oldest of three children, she started elementary school in Connersville and graduated from Knightstown High School in 1986. On November 11, 1989, she married her partner in crime and soulmate, David, and moved to Morgan County. A study in glorious contradictions, Lynette could be absolutely unapologetic, crazy and fun-loving all at the same time. Her mind was a steel trap, and no one could convince her otherwise. She was honest, blunt, and utterly fearless, especially when it came to protecting her flock. Lynette never questioned; she simply showed up. The first to the fight, the last to leave, Lynette was the ultimate spitfire. She was the rock and the glue, the Queen of the Castle, and the one person you simply did not dare cross. Lynette loved freedom, and that love was most visible when she was on two wheels. Give her a motorcycle and an open road, and that wild and free adventurous spirit took flight. She lived fast and full, making no excuses for the hills she climbed, whether they were literal mountain passes or personal obstacles. Her solace was found in the great outdoors and traveling. Whether it was circling around a bonfire, working in her garden, bathing in the summer sun, attending concerts, or going on different vacations and cruises. She made an undeniable impression on everyone she met, from every walk of life. Lynette lived for her family and her friends, yet her most favorite people referred to her as Mamaw. The definition of ride or die and a woman who knew her way around in the kitchen. Lynette may be remembered from her previous endeavors, owning and operating Café on the Corner and Generations Tan, in Monrovia. She was currently working as a Sanitation Coordinator with Ryder Supply Inc. Her hard work and her dedication weren’t transactional; her loyalty came without cost. She spoke her mind, she showed up, and she always stood by the ones who truly mattered. She was so much more than just a badass; she was brilliant, hardworking, and a fiercely loving wife, mother, daughter, mamaw, sister, and friend. Packing a locked and loaded satchel of crazy into every day, her energy continues to live on in the memories and moments in which she shared with so many. Let us honor Lynette Jones by living a little louder, loving a little fiercer, and never backing down from a fight for those we hold dear. She was preceded in death by her father, Clifford Maple and stepfather, Bud King. Along with her mother, Pam King of Richmond, Lynette is survived by love of her life and soulmate, David Jones of Monrovia; four beloved daughters, Emilee Jones (Bryant), Mallory Brenneman, Hannah Sichting (Clay), and Mackenzee Jones Cooper (Jeremy) all of Monrovia; siblings, Theodore “Bub” Maple (Lura) of Shirley and Tisha Myer of Indianapolis; adored grandchildren, Jayce, Ferrari, Harmony, Bentlee, Easton, and one boy on the way; along with a host of extended family members and dear friends. Friends and family are invited to gather for visitation from 4 to 7pm, on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, in Light Memorial & Funeral Chapel, in Monrovia. A Celebration of Life Service will begin at 1:00pm, on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, at the funeral home. Burial will immediately follow in Mt.
