STONE, Margaret Jo "Maggie" (LAKE)
Dec. 22, 1936 - June 06, 2010

Maggie was born Dec. 22, 1936, to Morse Bradford Lake and J. Elizabeth K.
Lake in Seattle and died June 6, 2010, in Enumclaw, Wash.

After graduating from Franklin High School in Seattle, Maggie attended
Whitman College in Walla Walla for two years before transferring to the
University of Washington in Seattle to complete a bachelor's degree in
sociology. She married Raymond Stone in 1958 and had two children, Phillip
Allan Stone of Goldendale, Wash., and Karen Elizabeth Thomas of Enumclaw.

Maggie started her life's work as a community organizer and developer of
youth programs with Totem Girl Scout Council in the early 1970's. That
led to a position as a regional director for Camp Fire USA, where she
encouraged and helped to develop local Camp Fire programs throughout the
Pacific Northwest. An executive director position followed with Camp
Fire USA Portland Metro Council in Oregon, a position she held for 11
years until her retirement in December 2001.

Maggie was a giving and loving woman dedicated to her marriage, her
family, and her career. She believed in and dedicated herself to youth
services programs, having participated in them as a young girl. She was
committed to creating opportunities for children thought enrichment of
their daily lives and their communities. Maggie was an accomplished
artist. Her media were watercolor paints and textiles. We treasure
the embellished paintings and fiber art wall hangings she created. She
enjoyed travel and the arts and brought new ideas and influences home
with her to enrich her daily life.  Maggie loved to entertain family
and friends. She filled the lives of others with good food, good times,
smiles and happy memories. She will be in our hearts forever.

In addition to her son, Phillip Stone, and her daughter, Karen Thomas,
Maggie is survived by grandchildren, Daniel Stone Thomas and Lauren
Margaret Thomas, both of Enumclaw; and sisters, Elizabeth Cameron Finkel,
Barbara Lake Knight, and Sandra Lake Lambert, all of Seattle.
