Mallory Harwell Jones

Tuesday, April 26, 2022

On April 21, 2022, Mallory Harwell Jones, 75, took to his heavenly home, after a brief but valiant battle with cancer.

Mallory was born to Richard Carl and Irene Parish Jones on June 7, 1946, in Osceola. He was preceded in death by his parents and two brothers, Richard "RC" Jones and George Arthur Jones.

Mallory sold insurance for 25 years and in the '80s, he also owned a clothing store in downtown Osceola. He then went on to own and operate furniture stores during his 30 years in Hattiesburg, Miss. A natural-born salesman, he was full to the brim with an inexhaustible catalogue of quips, jokes, and movie quotes. Mallory professed his faith at an early age and was an active member of Main St. Baptist Church in Hattiesburg, Miss. He was proud to be "Your Pal Mal" and always aimed to be the most dapper man in the room.

He leaves to cherish his memory his daughters, Sheri Jones Adams of Osceola and Marsha Jones of Cordova, Tenn.; their mother, Nancy J. Smith of Marked Tree; his sisters, Eloise Phifer, Memphis, Tenn., Shella Fahey Waldman, Auburn, Calif., Joyce Demers, Lincoln, R.I.; his three grandsons and their wives, Silas and Tara Adams, Osceola, Ethan and Bailee Adams, Keiser, Elijah Adams of Sandridge; his son-in-law, Eddie Adams of Sandridge; his great-granddaughter, Noah Kate Adams of Keiser; and innumerable friends and family.

A celebration of life will be held at Roller Swift Funeral Home in Osceola. Visitation is from 12-2 p.m. and the funeral services follow at 2 p.m. Wednesday, April 27. Pallbearers include Ron Duncan, David Herriman, Edward Adams Jr., Silas Adams, Ethan Adams, Elijah Adams, and honorary pallbearers, Jimmy Johnson and Chad McDonald.
