À LA DOUCE MÉMOIRE DE 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.

Working with Miranda was always so nice. She was always so sweet and helpful. She was an amazing human and will be dearly missed by all. Rest well Miranda, you fought so hard ❤️
So very sorry for your loss .please know that you are continually in our thoughts and prayers.
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.
You will forever be known as Aunty RawRaw and I’m so deeply saddened by your passing and wish I was able to come say goodbye. I’m thankful I was able to send you a message recently and able to connect and speak one last time. I wish Unlace Joey, Anna Liz and Nathan all a loving hug and positive thoughts to get through such a difficult time. We will remember all the fun times and happy time and make sure you never go missed 💖
My biggest memory will be when you met my oldest for the first time, and how happy you made Joey 🩵
Will be sadly missed by her aunt Florence and uncle Angus as well as her cousin Dan (all residing in Sydney)
I was devastated to find out Miranda had passed. Miranda was one of the kindest and most compassionate people I’ve ever met. I had the pleasure of knowing her for 3 years, and words can’t describe how much she impacted my life and my career. You will be missed so much <3
We are so sorry to read of Miranda’s death. Please accept our sincere sympathy. She was younger than our kids, so never knew her very well but this is very sad.

My condolences to all of Miranda’s family and friends. I was lucky to be on her team and call her my friend. She was so smart, sweet and funny.
Elizabeth and Nathan – your mom is so proud of you both. I know she loves you fiercely and is watching over you.
Let the love and happy memories get you through the tough days ahead.
Miranda will be missed but never forgotten.
Miranda was kind, caring and bright. She had a calm and patient energy that demonstrated how considerate and thoughtful she was. Though I only worked with her for 4 years, she was a wonderful person and she made a lasting impact on everyone that knew her at Intact. We will miss her dearly. Wishing Miranda’s family strength and love through this difficult time. 🙏🏻
Miranda you were one of the strongest, most understanding and brilliant people i knew. You were a blessing to everyone who met you and had the honour to call you friend. You will be greatly missed. Soar free my friend!
My most sincere condolences to all her family.
Though I never had the privilege of meeting her, The Celebration of Life service showed how she was a strong and devoted wife and mother, whose love for you and your children was truly remarkable. You are in my thoughts during this difficult time, and I’m here for anything you need.
May her memories be a blessing to you and all who knew her.
With heartfelt sympathies,
