Caroline Deaton Johnston

Caroline Deaton Johnston, a resident of Bath, NC and age 75, passed away peacefully early Saturday morning, March 28, 2015at Vidant Hospital in Greenville, NC, with her devoted husband David by her side. Caroline fought a long and courageous battle with Multiple System Atrophy (MSA). Although the disease eventually robbed her of the ability to walk and talk, she maintained her sense of humor, concern for others, and most of all, her radiant smile, to the end.   Caroline was the daughter of the late R.L and Fannie Howard (Pearce) Deaton and was born in Pinehurst, NC. She grew up on Cowper Drive in Raleigh, NC and relished summers spent at Kure Beach, NC with her brother, parents and grandparents. Caroline graduated from Broughton High School and Peace College, where she majored in business.   Caroline and David were high school sweethearts and married March 31, 1961 in the campus chapel at North Carolina State University, where David was a Civil Engineering major. After David's graduation in 1963, the young couple moved near Washington DC, courtesy of the US Air Force, while David was stationed at Andrews Air Force Base. Caroline and David made their home in Northern Virginia for almost 30 years, where they raised their son and daughter. Caroline was proud of her career working for the US Government, the Fairfax News Bureau of The Washington Post and as Office Manager for SCS Construction Services, Inc. Even more so, Caroline's passion, generosity, and creativity was expressed with food! She was the consummate hostess and loved entertaining and cooking gourmet meals of all cuisines, and for all holidays, for friends and family.  Caroline returned to her native Raleigh, NC in 1992. Caroline and David enjoyed Raleigh life for almost 20 years, but even more so, enjoyed their new lifestyle as "week-enders" and vacation homeowners in Bath, NC. Caroline quickly settled in as co-hostess of many celebrations and parties there, including annual 'Oktoberfest’ where she, David and their neighbors partied under huge tents and invited the townsfolk to join them. Caroline was an avid tennis competitor and played in the USTA League at Seven (7) Oaks Racquet Club in Raleigh. She was also an accomplished seamstress, making quilts, dolls and costumes for her loved ones. Caroline was also an active member of the "Victorian Tea Society", with whom she dined locally and abroad during several European trips, and of "the Birthday Club" in Sanford, NC. Her greatest joy, however, was being a Grandma and taking the kids on adventures to museums and parks in Raleigh.  In 2011, Caroline and David moved permanently to Bath. They joined Bath United Methodist Church and lived on 'Beautiful Bath Creek', where they were surrounded by loving friends and family, who supported them emotionally and with meals and friendship during Caroline's illness.  Caroline is survived by her husband of 54 years, David Johnston; son Mark Johnston, partner Makenzie, and grandsons, Mason & Maxof Dallas, TX; daughter Megan Johnston Barnes, husband Robert, and grandchildren, Cameron and Ava Caroline of Surf City, NC; brother Carter Deaton and wife Carole of Bath, NC, sister-in-law Jane Johnston Smith and husband Lynn of Sanford, NC, brother-in-law Al Johnston and wife Adrienne of Bath, NC, and many loving nieces, nephews and great nieces and great nephews. Caroline will also be sorely missed by her best "furry" friend Max, and by her compassionate caregivers and friends, Shirley O'Neal and Marian Crenshaw.   A memorial service will be held at 11am Saturday, April 4, at Bath United Methodist Church (BUMC), 206 S.

Kevin M. Jones

A soldier from Washington, N.C., was killed in Iraq on Sept. 22 when an improvised bomb exploded near his truck, according to the Department of Defense.  Spc. Kevin M. Jones, 21, died near Al Taqaddum in central Iraq, west of Baghdad. He was a 2002 graduate of Washington High School, where he played football and was in the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps.  In the Army, Jones was a transport specialist and was always volunteering to hit the road because he hated hanging around his base, said his brother, Kenneth Jones of Chocowinity.  It was his second tour of duty in Iraq. This was also the second time that the young soldier had been in a vehicle attacked with a roadside bomb. In April, he was riding in the back of a 5-ton truck when it was hit and badly damaged.  "He was lightly wounded, a little bit of deafness," his brother said. "Unfortunately, it wasn't like that this time."   Jones was always upbeat, Kenneth Jones said.   "If he could find a way to be happy, he would," Jones said. "He just wasn't the kind to mope around."  Before joining the Army, Jones had become an emergency medical technician. He also had been trained as a combat lifesaver, and after that first bomb blast -- despite being unable to hear -- he rushed around treating other injured soldiers.  That was characteristic, Kenneth Jones said. His brother was so focused on helping others that he had begun attending meetings of a local volunteer fire department at age 16, lobbying to join. Eventually he was allowed to become a member while he was still in his teens.  That attitude extended to Iraq, said Kenneth Jones, recalling a photo of his brother that another soldier snapped in April on the back of that truck, just minutes before the explosion.  "I believe that was the biggest smile I've ever seen on his face, and you could tell that it wasn't posed or anything," he said.  "He was actually very happy to be in Iraq," Jones said. "The Iraqi people, he loved them. He said they were just like Southerners, except of course the ones who did this kind of thing.  "He really believed in his mission there," he said. "He believed we should stay until the Iraqi people were able to defend themselves and keep what was there before from happening again."  Kenneth Jones, who drives 18-wheelers for a living, was on the road Friday afternoon when the notification team from Fort Bragg came to his parents' home. They stayed for eight hours until his return.  Kevin Jones' survivors include: his brother and sister-in-law Katie Jones of Chocowinity; his parents, Kenneth Jones Sr. and Rebecca Jones, both of Washington; and sister Kamlyn Jones of Greenwood, S.C.  (The News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) – September 27, 2005; pg.

William Clifton Jones

NORFOLK - William "Clifton" Jones, 95. went to be with his Lord and Savior on Sunday, April 23, 2017. His family and hospice nurse, Diana, was there by his side as he departed this world for a much better place.  Clifton was born in Beaufort County, NC in April 1922, to Leonard and Lucy Jones. He went to Aurora High School where he drove the school bus. He was in the Army Air Corps during World War II, assigned to a B-24 Liberator Bomber as a tail gunner. He flew out of Italy and South Africa to bomb oil fields of Romania and other targets in Europe. Fifty missions were accomplished earning him the "Distinguished Flying Cross." After completing his tour of duty (1942-1945), he worked as an airplane mechanic at the Naval Air Rework Facility for 31 years.  Clifton was a member of First Baptist Church of Norfolk, Fox Hall Baptist Church, and Norview Baptist Church, both in Norfolk. He was honored to serve as a deacon in each church.   He had an affinity for birds--he built bird houses and ground feeders for them and other small animals.  Clifton was predeceased by his wife Velma in 2002. Left to cherish his memory are his two daughters: Nancy Mabry of Suffolk, VA, and Judy Jones of Virginia Beach, VA; one grandson, David McCoy of Virginia Beach, VA (Nancy's son). He appreciated his caregivers and was especially fond of Cindy Church and Angie Ferebee. He had the best hospice nurse, Diana Cluckey, whom we want to thank for her care, concern, and counseling.  He always said to each person exiting his home, "Goodbye and Good Luck!" That was his signature.  Clifton wanted to donate his body to medical science - such a selfless gift - to future physicians of Virginia. We are so proud of you, Daddy.  A memorial service will be held later in the year--friends and family will be notified.  (The Virginian-Pilot (Norfolk, VA) – April 30, 2017)
