Elizabeth Pearson, born July 8, 1937 to Agnes White Melson and Riley Pearson in Monticello, SC, was the oldest of 3 children. Her life’s connections run deep and wide. She was best known for her beautiful smile, keen wit, kind heart, and courageous spirit. She enjoyed basketball in her youth and worked diligently into adulthood as an Evisceration Team Leader and Line Supervisor. Elizabeth Stone received Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior at Brown Chapel Baptist Church where she faithfully served on the choir, as usher, and church clerk/secretary.

On February 27, 1955 Elizabeth married David Stone of Dawkins, South Carolina where they shared 52 happy years as husband and wife. Elizabeth was preceded in death by: her mother and father, her two younger siblings, Riley Pearson Jr. and Blanche Archie, both of Columbia, SC, her husband David Stone, and her daughter-in-law Teresa Stone.
