Dofflemyer of Elkton, VA and Grace S. Wingrove of Norfolk, VA; a sister-in-law, Marie Stone of Apex; and an abundance of nieces and nephews. She is also survived by a special and loving friend, Pat Edwards, and her caring and compassionate caregiver, Lottie Tucker.

In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by a sister, Rebecca Stone Wright; two brothers, Lawrence Stone and Leslie Stone.

The family will receive friends following the service on Friday in the church fellowship hall and at other times will be at the home, 2180 Rocky Ford Road, Kittrell NC 27544.
