Barbara Jones

Barbara Mulvehill Jones of Hoover, AL, passed away peacefully on August 19, 2024.

She was born on August 16, 1945, in Countyline, AL. She graduated from Dora High School and attended Jacksonville State. She purchased her first business, a daycare in Homewood, AL in 1980. She was a true entrepreneur and owned multiple businesses and investment properties throughout her lifetime. She loved politics and was always involved on a local level in the endeavor to better her community.

She is preceded in death by her parents Clarence and Ruth Mulvehill, sister Nell Haggard, brother Herman Mulvehill , nephew Buddy Mulvehill and son Laird Jackson Sharpe II. She is survived by her loving brother and best friend Van Mulvehill (Donna), Cousin Sue Francis Calvert, her daughters April Sharpe and Amy Sharpe Cook and son Andrew Sharpe. She also had 3 grandchildren - Daniel Davis, Shelby Cook and Emily Glasscock, 2 great grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews she adored, especially Jill Mulvehill.

She Loved the Lord, was a friend to many and always had a soft spot for anyone that needed help. She was a true champion of the downtrodden. Her passion was dogs and animal rescue. She often laughingly said that dogs were easier than people and that God created them to teach us unconditional love.

The family would like to extend their deepest appreciation to Isabell Alarcon and Jessica Encinas and the staff of Aspire Cahaba for the amazing love and care that they showed Barbara in her final days.
