SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2017 OBITUARIES STONE—Dorothy Ann “D’Ann” Stone, 80, of Eugene, formerly of Florence, passed away Feb. 9, 2017, after a long battle with breast cancer. D’Ann was born to Gordon and Mary West in Fallbrook, Calif., on June 6, 1936. After her father died during World War II, her mother mar- ried Philip Strother and, Dorothy Stone in 1946, the new family moved to Westport, Ore., where D’Ann graduated as valedictorian in 1953 from Clatskanie High School. During her senior year she was named Miss Clatsop and at the Miss Oregon Pageant was awarded Miss Congeniality. It was also during this year she met the love and best friend of her life, John Burton Stone, on a blind date. After graduation, D’Ann attended the University of Oregon on a full academic scholarship, joined the Alpha Chi Omega sorority and was elected to the student council. In June 1958, D’Ann crossed the country to see John gradu- ate from West Point Academy, and then sped back to Oregon to accept her bachelor’s degree in journalism, with a minor in history. D’Ann married John in Westport on July 20, 1958. They embarcked together on 21 years of service to the coun- try, living all over the world and raising two fine sons, John Jr. and Bradley. In 1979, John retired from the Army and the family moved to John’s home- town of Florence. They enjoyed a second career together selling vintage art and framing beautiful works for clientele in the local area and beyond as part of the part- nership in The Bay Window Antiques, Art and Custome Framing business on the river in Old Town Florence. D’Ann retired in 1998, when her fibromyalgia abd arthristis prevented continued participa- tion in the daily grind, but she still loved joining John on trips around the West finding new time in the Navy before he moved to California, where he had an auto inte- rior shop and ran a party boat in San Francisco Bay. He then Wendall opened an Wheeler aircraft inte- rior shop. Wendell eventually relocated to Southern California, where he bought a boat hull and completed a 59- foot motor vessel. He once again opened an air- craft interior business and then turned his talents to RV interi- ors. His wife’s early retirement brought him to Florence, where he once again opened a small shop and worked on whatever people brought in — he rarely said “No, I can’t.” He was always going to retire... next year. Burns’s Riverside Chapel Florence Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

Oregon Department of Transportation reports that Hamilton Construction crews will be onsite at the Siuslaw River Bridge working 24 hours a day through March 3 with high noise-generating activities expected between 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. Residents and those passing by can expect to see contain- ment structures begin to move south on the bridge as progress is made. As requested by residents and the City of Florence, a fence is being placed around the staging yard west of Old Town on Bridge Street. Crews expect for most work to move to the south end of the bridge soon, but there will continue to be a staging yard at that loca- tion. Sandblasting the bridge and spraying the zinc coating are noisy operations that must be done separately, in contain- ment structures. The project is scheduled to be completed in March 2019.
