“I come from a large family. I was born and raised in McKees Rocks. I’m proud to say I am a Roxian,” said Jones, who is a mother of three, a grandmother of 11 and a great-grandmother of six. However, Jones’ family isn’t limited to those who share her blood. “I wouldn’t give up the co-workers that I have for anything in the world,” Jones said. “They’re more like family than they are co-workers.” Allegheny Intermediate Unit • aiu3.net
