Dorothy Stone, 91

Dorothy Marie Stone, 91, Mother of Michael, Sharon and Kelly (and the late Patrick Stone) passed away peacefully with her family and close friends by her side on March 26, 2025.

She was born on May 26, 1933, in Franklin, Pennsylvania.

Dorothy married her true love Joseph Stone in 1950, and they remained married until his passing in 2009 just shy of their 60th anniversary

After having four children, she and Joe went back to night school to graduate high school while Dorothy continued to study accounting. 

With their children grown they began a small business, Aggressive Forge, a tool and die company which Joe founded, with Dot as his bookkeeper. 

The Stones resided with their four children in Meadville and West Springfield, Pennsylvania until heading out West after Joe’s passing in 2009. Dorothy then spent the last 16 years of her amazing life in Lakeside and Beverly Hills

Dorothy, "Dot" to her friends was known for her great humor, love of music, bingo, slots, gardening, socializing with her many friends and her creative style was evident in the way she created her home and garden— she was so proud of her eclectic and welcoming home. 

She is survived by her daughters, Sharon and Kelly, her son, Michael and son-in-law, Bruce Singer. 

Dorothy was a loving grandmother to Brian Taromina, Roan Stone, Laird Stone, Hunter Stone, Quinn Stone, and Kaylee Stone, Josh Singer, Nick Singer, Stefanie Ginberg; and four great-grandchildren, David, Beckett, Lake, and Dutch. 

A Montana celebration of life will take place this summer.
