Jessie Caroline Stoner, 85, of Norman, Oklahoma passed away Wednesday,
May 2, 2012 in Norman. She was born November 12, 1926 in Okarche,
Oklahoma to Elbert and Veva (Hamand) Stoner and graduated from Harrah
High School, Harrah, Oklahoma.
Caroline was born and raised in Oklahoma. She married Warren at Tinker
Air Force Base in January of 1945 and after the war they moved to
Warren’s home state of California. In their early years, Caroline,
Warren and the family lived in California, Virginia, Germany and finally
back to Oklahoma.
Caroline loved Oklahoma. Her grandfather was in the Oklahoma land run of
1889 and after Warren passed away, Caroline decided to stay in Norman
and spend the rest of her life being an anchor for her family.
She had a life-long love of aviation and took aeronautics in high school
from her father. She joined the civil air patrol in 1943 because she
wanted to learn to fly. Warren was a pilot as are both sons and a
grandson, and her daughter currently works for FAA.
