Gloria Jones Lebling
Stonington, Connecticut

Gloria Jones Lebling, 92, of Stonington, Connecticut, passed away peacefully on September 17, 2024.

The youngest of seven siblings, she was born Gloria Jean Jones to Earl and Edith Jones of Baltimore, Maryland. Gloria was a shining light in many lives, never forgetting to say “I Love You” to everyone she met. She raised her family in Ellicott City, embraced her community in Ocean Pines, and spent her final years watching her grandchildren grow in Stonington, Connecticut. Her faith was shared at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Ellicott City, Church of the Holy Spirit Episcopal Church in Ocean City, and Calvary Episcopal Church in Stonington. Gloria will always be remembered for her perpetual patriotism, for her hugs and enduring love, and for always sending birthday and holiday cards to everyone in her address book.

Gloria is preceded in death by her father, Earl Lark Jones and mother, Edith Jones (nee Ehrhart) and by her husband Richard Terry Lebling, and siblings, William Jones, Earl Jones, Eileen Wolters, Beverly Fader, Shirley Moran, and Dorothy O’Connell. With Gloria’s passing, the Jones Family is all together once again, and anyone who knows this family knows how truly special that is.

Gloria is survived and deeply missed by her sons, Jimmy and Timmy Lebling, by her daughter-in-law whom she loved like her own, Erika Lebling, and her grandchildren whom she adored, Jude and Aurora.

In lieu of flowers and in honor of her favorite tradition, we ask that you send a card to someone you love.
