Angelina Lee Jones

Angie quietly joined her Lord and Savior Tuesday evening August 9, 2011 at St. Vincent Hospital in Billings with her loving husband at her side. Angelina was born July 13, 1938 in Ithaca, New York to Joseph and Elizabeth (Merrill) Vicedomini, the eldest of five children. She lived her childhood and teen years in the Ithaca area, graduating from Itaca High School in 1956. She had a tremendous love for horses and dogs her entire life, getting her first horse, "Cheerio" as a teenager. Angie, Cheerio and her special dog Skippy were a familar trio along the roadways throughout the area. She gentle broke and trained Cheerio to jump and perform a variety of tricks along with Skippy. Angie dreamed of the west as a teen and upon graduation from high school she had an opportunity to go to the Black Hills with family friends and spent the summer in the Custer, South Dakota area. She and special friend Jean Champion worked wrangling dude horses, leading trial rides, rounding-up and driving cattle for Bailey Brothers Cattle Company. She returned to Ithaca that fall where a job was waiting for her as a draftsman at the National Cash Register COmpany (NCR), she was very proud to have been the first woman employed in the NCR drafting/engineering department, a job she excelled in long before today's computer assisted drafting. The west continued to beckon and she returned to South Dakota where her mare and friends were waiting, back to the cowboy life she so enjoyed. Angie moved to BUtte in the early 1970's where she met Ron Jones who managed KXLF Radio, marrying on May 19, 1974. Her lifelong passion for horses realized, Ron and ANgie raised purebred Arabian horses and Angie was a long-time member of the Arabian Horse Association and the Witez II Owners Network. Left to cherish Angie's memory is her husband of 37 years, Ron; sons Doug and Greg; sisters Marlene (David) Werner and Judy (Brucee) Stewart; brother Joe Vicedomini; very special aunts and uncles Mary and Bill Merrill, DOris Merrill and Terry and EJ Merrill. Memorial Services will be 2:00pm Thursday August 18, 2011 at the Remington Letcher Chapel
