Historia biográfica

Helen Miller Jones was born in Waco, Texas in 1899, and was a graduate of Wellesley College. In 1922 she married William W. Cameron, heir to an extensive lumberyard business in Waco. The couple had one daughter, Flora Cameron Crichton (1925-2019). Following William's death in 1939, Helen moved to San Antonio, where she met and married Reverend Everett Jones (1902-1995) in 1940. She was an active member of St. Mark's Episcopal Church, where her husband served as rector before being named Bishop of West Texas in 1943. Helen made a deep impact on San Antonio as a philanthropist, particularly supporting the San Antonio Art Institute. She was a president of Our Reading Club and the Fenwick Club. Helen Jones passed away following a long illness in 1986.
