"Her spirit never dimmed. Her heart never hardened. And even in the storm, she never lost her smile. #GIWMA," they devastated family noted in the caption.
According Entertainment Weekly, Jones died after her brief battle with breast cancer which she has been dealing since a decade of her chronic diagnosis.
