Katie Stone, born September 4, 1946, a long time resident of Vashon, died peacefully in her sleep on June 23rd, after a battle with lung cancer. She leaves behind her mom, Bobby Stone, husband, David (Shorty) Powers, brothers, John and Scott Stone, and sister, Dana Stone.
Katie grew up in the family 1906 beach house on Alki Beach and moved to the island with her mom, Bobby, in 1989, where she worked for a time at Bishop’s Tavern. Katie then became a Ph.D. (Professional Hand Dishwasher) at South Seattle Community College until she retired. She loved to garden and collect beautiful antiques and artwork. Katie was a Universal Life priest and had officiated the weddings of several island couples. Katie had a heart of gold, and the voice of a crow.
Katie will be greatly missed by all who knew her. The memorial service date and time will be announced shortly.
