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.
More information on the
project is available at www.
Siuslawbridge.com.
