The Bakersfield Californian
Stone, Joyce Marileen     
*1900 - 2005  (*1929)
 
Joyce Marileen Stone 
Nov. 4, 1929 - Aug. 29, 2005 

A memorial service will be held at Emmanuel Lutheran Church, 1900 Baker 
Street, on Tuesday, September 6, 2005, at 11:30 a.m., for Joyce Marileen 
Stone, 75, born November 4, 1929, in Bakersfield, CA, to Robert Taylor Harris 
and Fern Idella Harris (Ridgeway). A private graveside service will take place 
for family members. Joyce attended Jefferson and Williams Elementary Schools, 
Washington Junior High School, East Bakersfield High School, and Bakersfield 
College. She then continued her education at U.S.C., receiving her nurses 
training at Los Angeles County Hospital, and earning the B.S.N. degree in 
1956. Joyce was fascinated by the miracle of the human body, and therefore 
spent most of her nursing career working as a surgical nurse, where she could 
see firsthand the amazing way the body worked. She served as the operating 
room nursing supervisor at both Kern General Hospital and Bakersfield 
Community Hospital. Joyce earned her teaching credential in the early 1970s, 
and taught the first operating room technicians course through the Bakersfield 
Adult School. She was proud that all of her students in that first class 
passed the national exam giving them certification! Before retiring, Joyce 
worked several years as a staff nurse at the Lerdo Facility. Joyce was guided 
in life by her faith and family: the two things she held most dear to her 
heart. She constantly demonstrated kindness, compassion, and strength to those 
she encountered during her life. Joyce adored children! She loved giving gifts 
to children at the Jamison Center, as part of an outreach by the Beta Chi 
Sorority, of which she was a longtime member. Joyce was an avid reader. She 
also enjoyed playing bridge and doing crossword puzzles. Above all, though, 
Joyce loved just spending time with her family and friends. She is survived by 
her loving husband of 45 years, Marvin Glenn Stone; son, Michael David Stone; 
brother and sister-in-law, Neil and Nancy Harris; numerous nieces, nephews, 
great-nieces, great-nephews and cousins. Joyces family wishes to thank the 
incredible people at Evergreen Healthcare in northeast Bakersfield, as well as 
Hoffman Hospice, for their love and support. She will be greatly missed by 
family and friends, but is now in Gods hands, and at peace.
