Chris Jones Memorial Scholarship
About the Chris Jones Memorial Scholarship
Our Ambassador program was created to teach and encourage the next generation to serve and better their community. We all know Chris Jones, whom we lost December 2020, exemplified what it means to be a community leader and servant. He was an ambassador for his community, which is why this scholarship is named after him in his memory.
Steel Grace and Ramage Funeral Directors have sponsored this $500 scholarship with the intention of fostering a future community leader. We asked our Ambassadors to write about what community service project meant the most to them, and among those, one was chosen.
Payge Davina has won the Chris Jones Memorial Scholarship this year. We wish her well as she continues to be an ambassador for Olton wherever life takes her!
