Meet Gene Jones

Eugene ("Gene") Jones found his way back to southern Utah in 2002 after retiring from 17 years with Allstate Insurance in Houston. Prior to the move to Houston with his wife Elna Zohner Jones, this native Texan was elected to serve as Washington County Sheriff (1979-1982) after eleven years with the Las Vegas Police Department. He has a degree in Law Enforcement and was stationed at Nellis during a 4-year stint in the Air Force. When he is not involved in Rotary activities, Gene enjoys substitute teaching at any of the local middle and high schools, weightlifting, riding his motorcycle and spending time with the couple’s two daughters Karen Blake and Kimberly Meinkey, their 8 grandchildren and their first great-granddaughter. Sponsored by Jeff Morby, this Bloomington Hills resident was initiated on August 10 as the 77th member of St. George Rotary Club.
