Private family services are planned to celebrate and remember the life of Tommie Elizabeth Stone. Tommie passed away on June 12, 2025, surrounded by her family, after a short but hard-fought battle with leukemia. She was 64 years old.
Born in Claremore, OK on July 26, 1960, to Tommy Joe and Ann (Sullivan) Brown. Tommie was raised and educated in the Inola area and attended Tiawah and Inola Public Schools and was a proud member of the Cherokee tribe. She graduated from Inola High School with the class of 1978. On October 13, 1983, in Miami, OK, Tommie married the love of her life David Stone, and they became a blended family with 4 children, David, Jennifer, Andy and Elizabeth. Tommie helped provide for her family owning and operating Dailey’s Restaurant in Claremore.
In her younger school days Tommie played softball and basketball. She even had a college scholarship for basketball but decided to start her family instead.
Anyone who knew Tommie would agree that she was very outspoken and it wouldn’t take you long to figure out it was either her way or the highway. She loved her family, fiercely, and she lived every day of her life, on her terms. Tommie enjoyed being outside, drinking coffee on her porch, petting her dogs; she loved camping and fishing, it didn’t matter where as long as there was a lake. She loved to travel, for a while she and David trucked across the county, seeing the sights.
Tommie was a woman who knew her way around the kitchen, she loved to cook. Fried chicken, potato salad, and baked beans were just a few of her specialties. Always ready for a “shin dig”, she liked everything about it, the decorating, cooking, but most importantly just being with her family and friends. Everyone was always welcome, and an RSVP was never required.
When grandchildren came along Tommie excelled at being “Mimi”. She had a unique bond with each of her grandchildren. Christmas was by far her favorite holiday, with every part of her home being decorated. According to her husband, Tommie couldn’t wait each year to get her collection of Christmas villages out for display. When free time did present itself, Tommie liked to read romance novels or spend time in her “she shed” doing crafts.
Tommie has left a legacy that will live on in the lives of her family and friends. A legacy that allowed each of them to build lives that her love helped shape. Tommie is survived by her husband, David, children, David Stone Jr. and wife Stephanie, Jennifer Zeutenhorst and husband Shane, Andy Fullerton and wife Brenda, Elizabeth Lovejoy and husband Jeremy, grandchildren, Alex Zeutenhorst, Victoria Zeutenhorst, Austin Fullerton and wife Jennifer Lynn, Baylee-Joe Chamberlin and husband Dillon, Tomi Fullerton, Emmalyn Lovejoy, Autumn Lovejoy, great grandchildren, Kutter Fullerton, Blakely Kinison, Tripp Chamberlin, and Timber Chamberlin, mother, Ann Kellehan and husband Terry, sister, Tammy Malone and husband Joe, aunt, Peggy Smith, uncle, Richard Brown and wife Roberta.
