Queenie Elizabeth Stone

Queenie enjoyed listening to her favorite gospel songs, reading her bible; in her quieter times, she enjoyed relaxing and watching her favorite shows: The Rifleman, Rawhide, and on Saturdays, Svengooli, which brought her joy.

She had cherished times with her late sister, JoVern, for many years. Their bond was unbreakable. Queenie loved family gatherings when all the kids and grandkids were around, it made her feel complete. She had a warm, kind, sweet spirit. She parted this earthly life in peace and went home to be with her heavenly father, her lord and savior. Queenie Earned her wings.
