Mary Anne (Benson)
Stone, the first of seven has
now gone to Heaven and
joins her parents T. L. and
Marion Benson. She is also
reunited in Heaven with
her closest sister Barbara
Benson.
Mary Anne was a beautiful woman. Her inner
beauty illuminated the room
when she walked in. Her
heart was so generous and tender she often put her needs
last. She was kind beyond measure throughout the many
years of caring for her six younger siblings along with her
daughter Catherine, whom she loved so much. Her patience
was often tested the many times she drove all of them
around, jumbled tightly in her tiny red Volkswagen Beetle.
Nevertheless, she kindly and lovingly treated her siblings
with grace and dignity. Mary Anne personified “grace and
dignity” in her own right.
Throughout her life, anyone who met her instantly loved
her because her heart was so big. Sadly the world has lost
one who was too beautiful and tender for this world. We
will always love you.
Family members wish to thank Mantey Heights for their
excellent care of Mary Anne in her later years. Also, thank
you to Hope West for their assistance with her care.
