While at the school Betty learned to read, write and sign; she also met her soon to be husband of 57 years, Wesley Stone. The Stones made their home in Kilgore where Betty was a homemaker raising her three sons. She was a kind, sweet, loving mother, wife, sister, aunt and friend to all who knew her.
She is survived by her husband Wesley Stone, of Kilgore; three sons and daughters-in-law, James and Michelle Stone of Athens, Texas, Johnny and Misty Stone of Hallsville, Texas, Tony and Stacy Stone of White Oak, Texas; two sisters, Ima Jean Martin of Blanco, Texas, Dorothy Pace of White Oak; two grandchildren, Samuel Stone of White Oak, Sawyer Stone of White Oak; many nieces, nephews and loving family and friends.
