In Memory of Miranda Ann Jones (née Covey)
August 1980 – August 2025
After a courageous battle with cancer, Miranda passed on August 19, 2025, surrounded by her loving family at the Ottawa Hospital – General Campus.
Miranda is survived by her proud parents, Norman and Judy (née Kocsis). She will be deeply missed by her beloved husband, Joseph “Joe” Jones of 22 years. She is a proud mother to Elizabeth, Nathan, and bonus daughter Anna. Miranda is survived by her siblings Donna and her partner Wayne, Mark and Craig, nieces Mimi and Tiffany, and nephew Blaise. She will also be missed by sister-in-law Julie-Ann Jones, special brother-in-law Richard (Joseph) Vigneux, Uncle Angus, Aunt Tootsie, and many aunts, uncles and cousins in Sydney, Nova Scotia.
Miranda was born in Sydney, Nova Scotia. As a teenager, she worked in Bunsmaster Bakery. In 2002, she graduated from the University of Cape Breton with a degree in Business Administration. Miranda adventured to Ottawa, living with sister Donna. She began working with Convergys from 2002 to 2010 – meeting Joe in 2003. In 2011, she joined Intact Insurance, later becoming an Underwriter.
The Covey and Jones families would like to extend a special thank you to the Ottawa Hospital General Campus – Oncology Unit, specifically the compassionate and dedicated staff of the 6th floor, to Dr. Goodwin of the Riverside Hospital, the M.A.I.D Program, and to the Convergys, Intact Insurance families, and Transport Canada Families.

Miranda, while we only really knew each other over the phone for work, your friendly nature made it feel like I was calling a friend. I will miss our chats about family life, trip plans and of course your amazing skills as an underwriter. My thoughts and prayers are with your family who I know you love so very much.
