Helen Marie Stone

Helen Marie Stone, 94, passed away during the early morning hours of Sunday (February 12, 2017) with her daughter by her side. Helen was born on October 2, 1922 to the late John &Grace (White) Duncan in Fall Branch, TN.

Helen was one of ten children. She married her High School sweetheart, William Henry Stone, Jr. in 1941 and they started their life of 75 years together in Kingsport.

Helen always had a smile on her face and never knew a stranger.

Helen was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend; she will be greatly missed.

Left to cherish her memories is her loving husband of 75 years, William Henry Stone, Jr.; daughter, Tina Pearson & husband Randy; sister, Clara Ward; granddaughter, Kara Price & husband Mark; grandson, Ryan Pearson & wife Sarah; two great-granddaughters, Kallie and Kate Price; several nieces, nephews, and a host of friends.
