Mary Alice Wilcoxon Stone was called home to be with her Lord on February 1, 2013 in Tyler, Texas. Mary was born on January 17, 1916, in Ashley County Arkansas to John Wiley Wilcoxon and Mattie Allen Wilcoxon. She grew up in Ashley County and spent most of her life in Arkansas. She was devoted to her family and will be remembered as a loving and caring mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Mary married the love of her earthly life, Charles Henry Stone, on January 27, 1934, at the Baptist Minister's home in Hamburg, Arkansas. The marriage was blessed and happy, lasting almost fifty years until Henry's death in 1983.

Mary was predeceased by her parents, her husband, brothers Edward Allen, John Henry Allen, sisters Verlie Allen, Velma Allen, Helen Patrick, Nancy Harp, and Elizabeth Carpenter, by brothers James, Searcy, Dean, Frank, George, Andrew Wilcoxon, and by sisters Bessie and Pearl Wilcoxon.

She is survived by her two sons: Charles Glenn Stone, his wife Judy, and John Edward Stone, his wife Connie. She is also survived by four grandchildren: Dr. Charles G Stone, Jr, his wife Maureen, Dr. Brian H Stone, his wife Barbra, Erin Means, her husband Eric, and Joanna Stone, and seven great grandchildren. In addition, there are many nieces and nephews.

There were special ladies in Mary's life-Pearlie Mae of Pine Bluff, Rosemary Betts, Wynell Glover, Henrieta, Annie, and Betty of Tyler, and her landscape caretaker, John Lunsford. She loved each of them very much.

    So sorry to hear of your loss. Your family are in our prayers.

    Mary was a beautiful, smart lady. I enjoyed playing canasta with her for many years. I picked her up after she gave up driving for the Canasta Club in Pine Bluff, which she enjoyed every month. We also went to the same beauty shop, Judy Curry, who was so good to us. I'll always remember how immaculate she dressed and I know she will be missed. I moved to Jonesboro in 2009 and knew she had moved to Texas. My deepest sympathy to the family.
  3. Rosemary Betts
    I would like to thank the family for allowing me the opportunity to share in her life. She will be dearly missed. She would tell stories of her life in Pine Bluff. With love and sympathy
