PALOMBO BERNADETTE JONES AGE 6...
PALOMBO BERNADETTE JONES Age 64, passed peacefully on Saturday, April 11, 2015. Beloved wife of the late Michael Palombo; beloved mother of the late Dominic (Rosy) Palombo; loving grandmother of Nino and Nico Palombo; daughter of the late Gilbert and Elva Jones; sister of Gilbert (Nellie) Jones, Lawrence (Anita) Jones, Jimmy (Mary) Jones, and David (Claire) Jones; cherished friend of Patricia Susie (Sam) Juliana; also survived by numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. She completed St. Peters Grade School and Bishop Dominic High School on the North Side, Pittsburgh. Years later, as a wife and mother, she made the decision to continue her education by earning a bachelor's degree in Political Sciences from Pitzer College in Claremont, CA. She received her master's degree in Criminal Justice from the Center for Politics and Economics at Claremont University and a Ph.D. in Political Sciences from the same center. Dr. Jones- Palombo arrived at Louisiana State University-Shreveport (LSUS) in 1995 to lead a prestigious grant on Community Oriented Policing and received her 20-year pin shortly before her death. Although she was noted for her studies on community policing, her topics of research were eclectic, including teaching evaluations, gang theory, and white collar crime, to name only a few. Throughout her career she was dedicated not only to her academic field but also to two professional organizations: the Academy of Community Justice Sciences and the American Society of Criminology. She was a member of Alpha Phi Sigma National Criminal Justice Honor Society. Her commitment to professional organizations was further reflected in the number of students she encouraged to participate in them, particularly Lambda Sigma Upsilon Chapter of Alpha Phi Sigma at LSUS. Interested and involved in her community, Dr. Jones-Palombo was proud of her membership in League of Women Voters, an organization she served as Louisiana vice president from 2003 to 2007. For seven years, Dr. Jones-Palombo served as the chairman of the LSUS Department of History and Social Science (2008-2014), working during difficult economic times to assure quality educational resources for the students in the department. An accomplished and devoted educator, she penned numerous articles and was author, editor or co-editor of several books: "Academic Professionalism in Law Enforcement," (which was one of the initial studies of gender in law enforcement), "Provision of the Right to Counsel in Caddo Parish," and "Wicked Shreveport". In 2004, Dr. Jones-Palombo was named to Who's Who Among American Teachers. This is a testament to her unswerving dedication to students and to her profession. Her life as an educator assures that, although she is no longer here, her legacy remains in all whom she influenced.
