Pamela Carter Stone

   Pamela Gail Carter Stone, 57, of 105 Strick's Lane, Hertford, NC, passed away peacefully to be with the Lord on Monday afternoon, January 18, 2016 in her daughter's home in Elizabeth City where she was surrounded by her husband, two daughters, and twin grandchildren.

   Mrs. Stone was born in Norfolk, VA on June 21, 1958, and was the daughter of the late William Thomas, Jr. and Carol Elizabeth Wells Carter. Raised in Virginia Beach, she was a graduate of Kempsville High School. A homemaker, she dearly loved her family and enjoyed spending time with them, especially their yearly summer vacations at the beach where she loved digging her toes into the sand, and the many times she spent floating the day away in the pool. One of her favorite pastimes was the moments spent sitting back and listening to her husband sing and play his guitar. A member of New Hope Christian Fellowship in Elizabeth City, she adored her church family and the time spent with her many friends. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

   In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her father-in-law, George W. Stone.

   Surviving are her husband of nearly 32 years, Michael Thomas Stone; two daughters, Christina Jones of Elizabeth City and Ashley Stone of Albuquerque, NM; twin grandchildren, Taylor and Brittney Jones; a sister, Susan Carter Lambert and husband Darren of Virginia Beach, VA; her mother-in-law, Betty Jean Stone; sisters-in-law, Holly Longtin and husband Mike and Mia Adams and husband Dan, all of Virginia Beach; a brother-in-law, David Stone of Alaska; six nieces, Kaitlyn; Heather, Betty, Debra, Fawn, and Katie; five nephews, B.J., Ryan, Colin, Austin, and Alex; and a great-nephew, Dylan.

   Funeral services will be held Saturday at 11:00 a.m. in New Hope Christian Fellowship by the Rev. Greg Brinson. Burial will follow in Memory Gardens Cemetery, Elizabeth City. Friends may join the family Friday from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. in Miller & Van Essendelft Funeral Home, 1125 Harvey Point Road, Hertford.
