Mr. Carlisle Wesley Jones, 72, a resident of Melfa, passed away at his residence surrounded by his loving family on Saturday, March 22, 2025.
Born on Nov. 13, 1952, and raised in Pungoteague, Carlisle was the son of the late Irving Clifford Jones and Margie Christine Jones.
He was a U.S. Coast Guard veteran. He also worked at Perdue Farms in Accomac, at Doughty’s Market, and at Wallops in wastewater management, where he retired after 38 years.
