In Loving Memory Of Valjean O. Stone (1936-2012) Valjean O. Stone, 76, of Centralia went to be with his Lord and Savior on Aug. 8, 2012 at Harborview Medical Center, Seattle, Wash. Val was born to Earl and Lena (Rieger) Stone on March 14, 1936 in Leonardville, Kan. The family moved to Galvin, Wash., around 1940 where Val grew up and attended school, graduating from Centralia High School in 1954. In Oct. 29, 1954, he married Norma Jean (Armstrong) McCellan and together they had three children. In 1970 he married Cheryl Kae (Dean) Conzatti and gained two more children. Val worked at Churchill Glove Factory as a young man. He managed Super Save Gas Station on South Gold Street in Centralia in the 50s. In the early 60s, he drove logging truck for Elmer Cook. In the early 70s, he went to work for WIDCO and retired with twenty-seven years of service with the mine. Some of the loves of his life were his family, motor racing of any kind, fishing, hunting and a natural gift of mechanics that continued to bless his family as well as allowing himself to establish a small private business of lawn mower repairs. In age, his love for his family and his pets (dogs) grew increasingly and was demonstrated in his everyday life. He is preceded in death by his father and mother, his sister, Mary Jane (Tootie) Ballard and grandson, Tyler Stone. He is survived by his loving wife of 42 years, Cheryl Kae, a sister, Earlene (Babe) Stone, a brother, Norman Stone, a daughter, Cheryl Lynn (Stephen) Spurgeon, a son, Gary (Cindy) Stone, a son, Roger (Debbie) Stone, a son, David Conzatti JR., and a daughter, Brenda (Conzatti) (Rick) Larsen, nine grandchildren, three great-grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Arrangements are being directed by Newell-Hoerling's. The memorial service will be held at The Church of Nazarene, Centralia on Friday, Aug. 17, 2012 at 11:00 a.m., followed by a luncheon. Internment will be at Mountain View Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to charity of choice.
