Obituary

Becky Jones Kendall, daughter of the late Eddie Lee Jones, Sr. and Mollie Mae Jones, was born on December 15, 1953; she was educated in the Birmingham, Public School System and graduated from Stephens College in Missouri. She was one of five children and she was preceded in death by her Father Eddie Lee Sr., Mother Mollie Mae  and three Brothers Roderick, Larry and her oldest brother Eddie Lee Jr. Professing her faith and accepting Christ at an early age she united in fellowship at Mt. Carnal Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama and later united with Oakview Baptist Church in Irving, Texas. Becky, until her untimely death worked as a Para Professional in the Irving Independent School System. Becky was very beautiful inside and out with a beautiful smile and she had a very quiet spirit about her, she was never afraid to speak up on things that she was passionate about. She loved her husband of 33 years, they complemented each other. While married to Phil she had the opportunity to go places she never dreamed  she would go. Her strength came from God almighty and from being married to a strong man…God blessed her to see her boys go from kindergarten to college; she was a good wife and a wonderful mother.  Becky is at peace knowing that she gave her life to Christ and that her boys have grown up to be productive young men. Her sister, even though they are not twins they were inseparable growing up. If you saw Becky, you could be assured that Sandra wasn’t far behind. They truly loved each other and were always there for one another. Her memory will be forever cherished by her faithful husband Phillip, her three sons Nicholas, Benjamin and Derik. Her only sister Sandra J, Dickinson; and a host of loving nieces, nephews and cousins.  Her Aunts, Lessie Lee Sims and Annie Bessie Banks, who was like a mother to her when she was growing up in Alabama. Her devotion to the Lord and her gentle spirit will be missed by all who knew and loved her. Visitation will be on Wednesday, May 1, 2013 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM with a Celebration of Life to follow at Oakview Baptist Church, 1004 S Story Road, Irving, Texas 75060.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
