Elmer Stone Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 24, 2013.
Stone, Elmer Age 85 years. Passed away peacefully on Monday July 22, 2013, surrounded by his family. He is preceded in death by his wife of 60 years, Sachiko, his parents, George and Ruby, 15 brothers and sisters. Elmer is survived by his children, Betty (Robert) Weeks, Helen (Jeff) Paige, Edward (Tamara) Stone and Sally (Steven) Olson, grandchildren, Kurt (Heather) Weeks, Angela O'Neal, Tara (Luke) Miller, Craig (Liz) Stone, Rhiannon Clouse, Adam Gardner, Erin Stone, Derek Stone and great-grandchildren, Anaiya, Gabriella and Riley, sisters, Delores and Edith, special friend, Mutzi, Raymond and Toshiko, Fumi and Chuck along with other relatives and friends. Elmer retired from American Motors/Chrysler Corporation in 1986. He spent his retirement years crafting his woodworking skills to build unique furniture items for family and friends, wooden toys for the grandchildren and anything else he could make from wood. Elmer enjoyed working on cars, gardening, keeping his lawn green and tidy. He also enjoyed making the yearly batch of his famous Stone Family Pickles and let's not forget all the Labor Day weekends spent picking, peeling and canning oh so many quarts of tomatoes! Elmer was truly a man of many different self-taught talents. The family would like to extend a special "Thank You" to Dr. Prewitt, Dr. Hubley, the nursing staff at CMH 2nd and 5th floor and especially the ICU staff. Also, "Thank You" Elizabeth, Laura and Tawanda from Tamarack Place for the care and compassion given to Elmer. Visitation will be Sat., July 27, at the Funeral Home from 1 PM until time of Funeral Service at 4 PM. Private Entombment will be at Wisconsin Memorial Park, Brookfield. A time to build, a time to break down, A time to dance, a time to mourn, A time to CAST AWAY STONES A TIME TO GATHER STONES TOGETHER! Until we meet again, Dad

Dad, it has been a long sorrowful journey for all of us since you passed away. Eleven years ago we stood around your hospital bed to bid our final farewells. We know that one day we will all be united again. Please put your arms around mom and let her know that we miss you both and love you more.

Dear Dad, it´s been a long time since I´ve been on this page. You and Mom are always on my mind and in my Heart .Updated some pictures, did the same at the Crypt. I´m certain you are already aware that Aunt Delores passed away last Monday June 5th 2023 at the age of 90. I haven´t seen her in years but do remember going to visit her at the Dixie Diner. She is the last of Stones. The Stone legacy will live on, and so will the name. You and Mom are going to be Great Grandparents again. Derek´s wife Kathryn is expecting a baby girl next month, July 2023. Erin is also pregnant and expected to have her baby in October. Don´t know the gender, it will be a Surprise. You both will forever live on in my Heart and Soul forever. Looking forward to seeing you both again someday I Love you Both so very much.

Dear Dad and Mom, the date is April 3rd 2020, and the World is going through a Pandemic, it's called Coronavirus or CoVid/19 . It originated in China, from people eating weird things. It has people having to distance themselves from one another. You're supposed to stay home safe with only the people that you live with. There is a 6 foot distance rule in effect as well. That means no Easter Sunday get together. Most everything is closed, business wise. I'm at Walmart, so they will always find work, instead of paying unemployment. Their are So many people out in the whole world now out of jobs. I'm grateful I still have one. I guess I just wanted to let you know that for the first time since you've both been gone, that I'm so Glad you're not here to go through this crap. We would not be able to see you, with Dad dying if this happened now, nobody would be able to be with him. He'd be all alone, I know I couldn't live with that the rest of my life. So I am so Grateful to God that he spared us and you two from having to be alone. You will always be Missed and Loved forever, so Please watch over all of the family until this horrific Pandemic is over. Keep ALL of us Healthy, let us ALL make it through this safe. ❤ With all my Love, Sally

Dear Dad,
A day late but you were not forgotten. Due to technical difficulties, my tablet decided to give up the ship after I had written my wishes to you. Then as the day progressed, I forgot to go back to submitting my thoughts. I know you are at peace now and that you are with mom. Happy Birthday, Dad. You are missed so much by all of us. Thank you and mom for the legacy you left with us.
Love
Betty

Yes, three long years since we gathered around the hospital bed to hold your hand and whisper how much we love you. You crossed over knowing we were there to bid farewell.

Dad and Mom, got the news about Michiko Krall passing away back in April of this year. IF the Krall family ever sees this Please accept the entire Stone families deepest condolences. Your mother was a very special Lady. Sally

November 2, 2015

Hi Sally, I was sorry to hear of your fathers passing, as I had heard from my twin sister Karen that she had heard from the church he attended. I didn't know how to get a hold of any of your family, but, my condolences. I found this website, as I was looking to try and pass the word on to the Stone Family, that my mother Michiko Krall passed away this year on 4/22/15 at 87 years of age. She suffered a massive heart attack. It is always hard losing a parent so loved and cherished. Your father would always call my mother to keep in contact now and then. Also, Betty would send Christmas Cards to my mother.

Dear Dad today is the 9 year Anniversary of Mom passing away, not all Anniversaries are happy occasions, this is one of those days. I had a strange dream last Wednesday, I'm sure it is because Mom is in my subconscious. I miss you both and think of you both each and every day. Please do me a favor and give her a giant hug from me, and while you're at it give yourself one also. I Love you too very much, missing you, Sally

July 29, 2015

June 23, 2015

Yes, dad. Father's Day is not the same. Your talents were taken for granted but we marvel at your workmanship. The beauty you created surrounds us and reminds us of your love. Mom and you are thought of every day and missed so much. Love Betty

As I sit here shedding my tears -
So hard to believe it's been almost a year -
I think of you daily, and Mom too -
And find comfort in the picture of the two of you -
All the days we spent together after Mom passed on -
As hard as they were, you & I together got things done -
Your last few months were not your best -
And I do believe, Mom told God to bring you home for a rest -
Loving and Missing You and Mom Each and Every day - Forever - Bringing you red roses on the 22nd - Love #2
