ELIZABETH BASS STONE


Elizabeth "Betty" Bass Stone passed away August 4, 2017, at the age of 92. She
loved her family, friends, and community without reservation and brought joy to
countless lives.

Betty was born on July 25, 1925, in Shreveport, Louisiana. After graduating from
Fair Park High School, she attended LSU where she was one of the first women to
be accepted as a member of the Golden Band from Tiger Land. She met the love of
her life and devoted husband of 72 years, Harry L. Stone, at LSU. Their love
story has been an inspiration to many.

Betty's indomitable spirit was evident in the way that she chose to live her
life to the fullest. Never content to be an observer, she volunteered in a
variety of organizations that illustrated both her interests and her commitment
to this community. She served as president of the Monroe Garden Club, president
of the Town and Country Garden Club, vice-president of the Junior League of
Monroe's Sustainers on Standby, and as a board member on the Board of Trustees
for the Twin City Art Foundation/Masur Museum of Art. She was also a member of
the Daughters of the American Revolution, an active member of Grace Episcopal
Church, and worked as a docent at the Biedenharn Museum.

Betty was preceded in death by her parents, Terrell and Winnifred Bass; brother,
Terrell Bass, Jr.; and daughter, Martha Stone Husmann. She is survived by her
husband, Harry; daughters, Susan S. Miksa and Emily S. Council; sons-in-law,
Rudi Miksa and Gary Husmann; daughter-in-law, Kristie Husmann; and special
"daughters of the heart", Pam Hansen and Mitzie Galligan. She leaves six
grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Life service will be Monday, August 14th, at Grace Episcopal
Church. Visitation will be at Kilbourne Hall at noon, with services in the
church at 1:00pm. Rev. Michael Bordelon will officiate.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be made to Grace
Episcopal Church or to a charity of choice. The family also wishes to express
its gratitude to Dr. Ron Hammett and Dr. Floyd Jones for their tender mercies
and care toward Betty during her final weeks of life.
