Carolyn Stone
November 1, 1938 — November 20, 2018
Carolyn "Nim" Stone (Parmley), age 80, our dear mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, partner and friend transitioned to the Summerland on November 20th in Kent, Ohio from Parkinson's disease.
She was born November 1, 1938 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Joseph and Frances Parmley.
Nim worked as a nanny and a detective in Las Vegas then she moved to New York City where she was employed at Lord and Taylor and Shriner's Hospital. Nim moved back home to attend the University of Salt Lake and joined the Civil Air patrol as a Cessna 172 pilot where she met her first husband, Edgar Stone, of Stow, Ohio. Later they moved to Ohio where Nim worked as an activities coordinator for memory care residents and the Portage County Battered Woman's Shelter, Safer Futures. Her last job was at the Kent Natural Foods where she had the pleasure of working with her daughter and oldest granddaughter. Her jobs were a way she gave of herself to others and connected with the community. She had an immense love of life and family. Nim was a loving teacher, mentor, and a mother to many who all shared her gift of comfort and love. She had an adventurous spirit and wicked sense of humor that delighted all. Nim was an avid reader, writer, storyteller, gardener and fabric artist. She belonged to S.C.A., C.O.G., and the National Herb Society where she received her Rosemary pin commemorating 25 years of membership.
Nim is survived by her sisters Ann Shaw and MinNette Fife, brothers Gary and Dennis Burnham, her life partner Julie Chornak, daughter MaryJayne Stone, son Jeff Stone, grandchildren Aurelia Erin Stone, Raegan Williamson (Joe Dunford), Caitlin Williamson, great grandchildren Olivia, Delilah, Niklas, Joshua, and Jackson and special heart family, Philip, Crystal, Minerva, Michael, Tom, Heather, Miklos, Kathy, Kay and Dawn and all the angels from Kent Healthcare Nursing Home. Lady Nimue will be deeply missed. May Love and Light be her companion as she travels to the Summerland. Until we meet again, Blessed Be our sister Priestess.
