Collette Ann Jones, 61

Collette Ann Iverson Jones, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, and friend, passed away unexpectedly on Aug. 1, 2025, in Conrad, while attending a family celebration. She was 61 years old. 

Born on Dec. 13, 1963, in Conrad to Larry and Linda Iverson, Collette spent two years on the family farm before her family relocated to Scottsdale, Arizona. She attended school there through her sophomore year before her family returned to Montana. Collette graduated from Flathead High School in 1982.  

Following graduation, Collette moved back to Arizona, where she met the love of her life, Dennis Jones. The two were married on Nov. 12, 1983, and later made their home in Kalispell. Together, they raised their two children, Kyle and Amy, and built a life full of love, laughter, and adventure.

Collette's greatest joy in life was her family. She was a devoted mother and proud grandmother, finding endless happiness in spending time with her children and grandchildren. Whether cheering from the sidelines, applauding from the audience, or offering a warm hug, she never missed a moment. She followed her grandchildren to every field, court, and stage with unwavering love and pride. She was also a talented seamstress and she loved traveling, camping, and making memories with her family. Collette's kind heart, loving smile, and nurturing nature made her a light in the lives of everyone who knew her.  

Collette is survived by her loving husband, Dennis Jones; son, Kyle and daughter-in-law, Christy Garcia-Jones of Wyoming; daughter, Amy and son-in-law, James Boyce of Kalispell; and grandchildren, Vincent Garcia-Jones, Taelor Boyce, and Thomas Boyce. She is also survived by siblings, Larry Iverson, Tami Hyndman, and Kevin Iverson; and several nieces and nephews. 

She was preceded in death by her parents, Larry and Linda Iverson.

Please join us in celebrating Collette's life on Saturday, Aug. 30 at 2 p.m. at the Wild Side in Kalispell.

Collette's legacy is one of deep love, fierce devotion, and unshakable family bonds. She will be missed beyond words and remembered forever.
