Jones returned to Jamaica at the end of September where she got the official news from her doctor that it was now acute leukemia.
While undergoing chemotherapy he said his wife developed an infection which contributed to her death.
Barbara who started her career in the early 70s began as a secular singer with songs such as Sad Movies and Just When I Needed You Most.
She later gave her heart to Christ in 1991 and embraced gospel music.

Death is unpleasant for us all. Job 14:15 says: Jehovah God will call, and the dead will answer." Revelation 21:4 tells us "that soon we will not cry, mourn, nor be in pain anymore." Sorry for your loss and I know you find comfort in these words.
