Mrs. Doris Jean Hinton Stone

Who can find a virtuous woman?  For her price is far above rubies.

Proverbs 31:10.

Mrs. Doris Jean Hinton Stone went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Monday, April 4, 2016.  She was born June 6, 1935 to the late Reverend Isaac Hilliard Hinton, Sr. and Mrs. Mary Griffin Hinton. She was a loving, caring, compassionate, dedicated Christian wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend.  To know her was to know the love of God.  Doris had a deep commitment to her family, her friends, and to her church.  Her dedication and faith was the strength of her very essence and it was evident upon her last breath as Heaven welcomed her with open arms.  Mrs. Stone was a retired Nash County educator who worked with exceptional children for twenty years.

In addition to her parents, Mrs. Stone was predeceased by a son, Gary Harold Stone; brothers Isaac Hinton, Jr., Joseph Hinton, Everett Hinton and sister Thelma Hinton Stone.
