Betty Lou was received into Heaven, Wednesday, November 7, 2012 in Tyler, Texas after a brave battle with cancer.<\/p>\n

Betty Lou was born September 15, 1931 in Riley Springs, Texas to Austin Andrew and Ila Vera Milner Ledbetter. At the young age of 8 years old she and her sister, Ima Jean, were sent to the Texas School for the Deaf in Austin. Neither of them could communicate and this was a very traumatic experience for them. 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The family would like to express their grateful appreciation to Hospice of East Texas for the kind, gentle and loving care shown to Betty.<\/p>\n
