Zada Mae Jones

Zada Mae Jones passed away peacefully at her home on Thursday, October 23rd in Newport Beach, California at the age of 63. Zada is survived by her children Bill Campbell, stepson Russell Jones, Erick Campbell and Don Pfohlman; her brothers Ermond Oliver Parks Jr. and Duane Lee Quall, sister Jannette Joan Wilson and several beautiful grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her father Ermond Oliver Parks Sr., mother Annetta Wilson, her husband Stephen David Jones and stepson Timothy Mathew Jones. Zada was born on July 14th 1951 in Grants Pass, Oregon to Ermond Parks and Annette Wilson. She graduated from Mosses Lake High School in the State of Washington in 1969. She was married twice before ultimately finding her soul mate and true love Stephen Jones. Zada and Stephen were happily married for 15 years until he unexpectedly passed in September 2004. Zada was talented in many different things but she was perhaps best known for her creative skillset. She learned design and upholstery as a young girl from her grandmother Sada Parks, eventually starting her own successful upholstery business (Upholstery Creations by Zada) in her early 20’s. After years of hard work, she expanded her business into several different areas of expertise including: Antique Furniture Repair, Aircraft, Automobile, Home and Marine Upholstery. Her work was commonly featured in magazines and newspapers throughout her career. Outside of her career, Zada was even more impressive. She was a mother who provided unconditional love to her children and was deeply in love with her husband Steve. Her family and two cats, “Dirty Nose” and “Snoopy”, were the most important part of her life and she persevered past life’s most difficult obstacles to be with them; she fought and beat late stage breast cancer for over 15 years so she could continue to be a supportive mother and devoted wife. Zada had it all: intelligence, beauty, athleticism, charm, strong work ethic and a natural drive to succeed. Most would take these natural gifts for granted but she only used them as building blocks for future success. She was a competitive water skier, swimmer and cliff diver in her younger years. In her later years, her passion moved to the creative side and she took great joy in woodworking, antique restoration, embroidery, sewing and arts and crafts. Zada was an inspiration to all and she looked at tough times in life similar to how she took her morning coffee; "the sugar of life: the more lumps you take, the sweeter you are!" A Funeral & Celebration of Life is scheduled for November 3rd at Harvest Christian Church in Riverside, and a Graveside Service at Riverside National Cemetery. At the close of the Graveside Ceremony, there will be a White Winged Dove Sweetheart Reunion Ceremony at the graveside in Riverside. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Zada's life.
