Dillon L. Stone, born January 1, 1930, left this world December 1, 2023. Born in West Plains, Missouri, she moved with her family to Central, New Mexico at the age of 8. She attended Central Elementary and Silver High School.
Upon graduating from Silver High School at the age of 16, she married Jimmy Stone on June 6, 1946. On September 14, 1947, they welcomed Linda Jeanne Stone into the family, and on August 4, 1952, Mike Stone was an addition to the family.
As soon as Mike began school, Dillon started college, graduating in 1962, with a teaching degree. She then began her career teaching biology, English, and history, first at Silver High School and later at Cobre High School. Dillon taught for 25 years, and never regretted a moment. Her greatest achievement was the love and admiration her students had for her. When out in public, she was often recognized by her former students who went out of their way to greet her. She was a member of the Western New Mexico University Education Hall of Fame.

Mary Sonka, 76, passed away December 5, 2023, at Fort Bayard Medical Center following a long cruel battle with dementia.
Mary was a strong, hardworking and fierce woman (Just ask the nurses at Ft. Bayard). She solely raised and supported her three children. Mary prided herself in being able to provide for her family. She had a great love for animals. Her home was always filled with loving animals, they were as much family as her children. Mary worked for Duval Mines in Sahuarita, AZ when her children were little then went on to working for IBM building computers until their office in Tucson closed. She ended her working career driving haul trucks at Chino Mines. On her time off you could find her cruising on her Harley Davidson raising hell.
Mary is survived by her three children, Travis Jones (Cynthia), Jim Lugar (Anita) and Belinda McKeighen (Manny); four grandchildren, Kasey McKeighan (Alex), Michael Arsola, Alyssa Arsola (Steven), and Maryssa Arsola; two great-grandchildren, Vivian and Camren McKeighen.
Cremation has been entrusted to Baca’s Funeral Chapels. Private Services are pending.
