Shirley Jones, a Widow, Keeps on Moving On and Looks Well in 89

Jones recently celebrated her 89th birthday, and her son Cassidy boasted about his ageless mother on Facebook. The producer shared a picture of his mother as a 21-year-old and one at 89, with the caption, “Ageless! Happy Birthday, Mom!”

Fans were shocked at how good Jones’s still looked and remarked that she looked like a “fabulous cool grandma,” while some were still trying to get used to her shorter haircut.

Jones celebrated her 89th birthday as a widow. She married Martey Ingels, a comedian, actor, and talent manager who was her husband for 40 years.

Unfortunately, Ingels died at 79 due to stroke complications. He took his last breath at their Tarazan home in Los Angeles in 2015.

In the statement that announced his passing, Jones said her husband drove her crazy at times, but she will still miss him every day of her life.

Shirley’s Iconic Silver Pixie Hairstyle Has Almost Gone

Jones is known for her iconic pixie cut that would usually have a slight bang a volume at the top, but for her look at the TCM Classic Film Festival, her hair was shorter and brushed back.

While many fans loved her power suit and thought she looked great for her age, the haircut was something most could not get passed. “Sorry, this style is too severe,” said a fan.

Some thought the cut would have been more flattering if she kept her iconic bang, but other netizens thought the new hair aged her. “It is Shirley Jones! She is amazing! Just a little older,” remarked a commenter.

Despite the divided opinions about her style, many of Jones’ fans were happy to see the actress making public appearances.

Being the Only Child, Shirley Enjoys Her Big Family with 13 Grandkids

Jones has had a long career, with many accolades, including an Oscar award, and her performances have landed her on Broadway.

From there, she landed a role on the sitcom “The Partridge Family, where she played a TV’s favorite singing mom. The actress appreciated her long career and the opportunity to have tried out every avenue of the entertainment industry.

Jones has no regrets about her life. She’s enjoyed it to the fullest and advises everyone to do the same because “before you know it, you’ll be 87,” she said.

However, the 89-year-old is primarily proud of raising her three sons, Shaun, Ryan, and Patrick Cassidy, which have all grown up to be excellent and successful men. To top it off, they gave her 13 grandchildren.

The actress said she grew up as an only child, so having a big family has been a blessing. She loves getting visits from her grandchildren. “You have to enjoy this moment – the now- because that’s all we have,” she expressed.

Before “The Music Man” star married her late husband, Ingels, she was married to Jack Cassidy, who unfortunately died too. But the actress opened up about things that made her marry these two men.

When it came to Jack, she loved how handsome he was and his talent as an actor but above everything, she loved his humor. Jones even deemed him a better comedian than an actor.

However, Ingels won her over with his intelligence, writing skills, and how much of an amazing “grandpa” he was. Although Jones had two great marriages, she admitted that had Cassidy not died; she did not believe she would have married Ingels.

However, there is no denying that her union with Ingels gave her the security she never knew she needed, so she will forever appreciate both her late husbands.

Jones created a big beautiful family and has loved being its matriarch and watching her sons build their own families and expand her legacy.

Her sons are also protective of their mother. One of her sons, Ryan, shared a picture of him and his brothers standing behind their mother after an Easter church service. “I am a lucky man,” said Ryan.
