Elma was born in Crowder, OK on September 11, 1919 to Jiles Emery and Elizabeth (Wherry) Steele. She married Troy Stone in July 1939. They moved to Bartlesville in 1940, where she worked for Western Union Telegraph Company until her retirement in 1973. Her husband, Troy, preceded her in death in 1975. She enjoyed sewing of any kind, particularly crocheting, which she learned from her father. She is survived by her son, Bill Stone and daughter in law Shirley Foust Stone , of Branson, MO and twin grandsons, Michael and David Stone, also of Branson, MO.

For the family of Elma. Just wanted to let you know that I am sure you knew Gwen passed, but also Shirley Watts that lived in Pawhuska who used to eat with us at Golden Corral has also passed away.
I just had knee replacement surg. and slowly recovering. I had surgery the same day as Shirley's funeral so didn't get to go.
Again I enjoyed being a small part of Elma's life.

So sorry to read about your Mother and Grandmother. I meet Elma, with her friend Gwen when they would eat at Golden Correl. We became friends and would eat with them each week. Elma was such a dear Lady, and I would talk with her once in a while after she moved. Again thinking of your family at this sad time.
