Jones brings family atmosphere to her home away from home feeling of home is what Rose Jones wants to bring to Trinity Valley Community College .

When students , faculty , staff and even the public come to the cafeteria , also known as the Nest , Jones treats every person like she is their mother .
For 31 years , Jones has made sure to have a smile on her face and makes everyone feel welcome .
“ I love my relationship with the students ,” Jones said . “ They give me respect because I give them respect and treat them like my own children . It breaks my heart when they leave because I have a good bond with them . I have a good relationship with them and they are good with me and anytime I ask them to don ’ t do this or don ’ t do that , they will respect me with that . They are like my own kids .”
Jones has been with the Aramark Dining Services for 31 years .
