E. Jean Stone (Woodford)
July 5, 1923 — February 17, 2008
Jean Stone, 84, of Sioux City died Sunday, Feb. 17, 2008, at a Sioux City hospital from complications with cancer and pneumonia.
Services will be 1:30 p.m. Thursday at Morningside Presbyterian Church, with John H. Pehrson officiating. Burial will be in Memorial Park Cemetery. Visitation will be 4 to 8 p.m. today at Christy-Smith Morningside Chapel. Condolences may be sent online to www.christysmith.com .
The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Homer Woodford, Jean was born July 5, 1923, in Sergeant Bluff. She graduated from Sergeant Bluff High School in 1941 and received her degree in accounting from the University of Nebraska, Lincoln.
In the spirit of adventurous youth, after college she bicycled through Europe. Later, she was affiliated with Swift and Company in Omaha and the Beuttler Architectural Firm in Sioux City. She served as bookkeeper for the Siouxland Humane Society for 25 years.
She married Donald L. Stone on Sept. 17, 1950, at the Sergeant Bluff United Methodist Church.
She merited a 50 years membership certificate from the P.E.O. Chapter DX and from Morningside Presbyterian Church, where she served on the board of the church's extensive library. A person of varied interests, she was a league bowler for a good many years. She also enjoyed golf, bridge, knitting and crocheting. Her main avocation, however, was spoiling her husband.
Those left to cherish her memory include her husband of 57 years, Don Stone of Sioux City; two daughters and their husbands, Donna and Robert Sacco of Colorado Springs, Colo., and Deanna and Michael Asbell of Bayfield, Wis.; her grandchildren, Vanessa and her husband, Josh Painter of Engelwood, Calif., Rebecca and her husband, Jeff Rose of Colorado Springs, Colo., Dyanna Sacco a junior at Northern Colorado University, Nicolas Asbell and Kiana Asbell, both of Bayfield, Wis.; a great-granddaughter, Makayla Jean Rose of Colorado Springs, Colo.; a sister and her husband, Doris and Allan Nash of Horseshoe Bend, Ark.; and a group of many select friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Homer and Nina Woodford; a brother, Homer L. Woodford Jr.; and two sisters, Joyce Ramsey and Pearl Nelson.
The family suggests memorials be addressed to the Boys and Girls Home of Sioux City or to the charitable choices of the donors.
