LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. A Gwinnett County educator, mother, and friend has died following a battle with COVID-19.
According to friends, Maude Jones tested positive for the virus after being exposed while working at Rock Springs Elementary School.
The 68-year-old paraprofessional had plans to retire from Rock Springs Elementary after the fall semester, but friends say she never got the chance after contracting COVID-19.
“She basically said she was going home to quarantine for 14 days, but we didn’t know it was all going downhill, said Angela Coleman, a friend of Jones.
