Lonnie Duke Stines
Lonnie Duke Stines
Lonnie Duke Stines was born in
Wataga County, North Carolina on April 30, 1932. He passed away peacefully on
May 25, 2013 surrounded by his loving wife of 60 years, Elaine and his children
Jan, Linda, Craig and Lonna. He is survived by his sisters, Birdie Mae and Betty
as well as many grandchildren and great-grandchildren that cherished every
minute with him.
Lonnie and Elaine retired to
the Garden Valley area 20 years ago after living in Boise since 1953 when he
retired from the Air Force and they married. Lonnie owned a Mobile and then
Chevron Service station on the corner of Orchard and Overland Road for many
years before moving the station to his home on Nash Street.
Lonnie was the first to lend a
helping hand to any anyone and everyone, and truly never met a soul who didn’t
become a lifelong friend both to those in Boise, Garden Valley and the many
people he met while stock car racing in Meridian, snowmobiling or square
dancing. A kinder, gentler or giving person was never placed on this earth and
he will be greatly missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing Lonnie.
A memorial service will be held
at Garden Valley Community Church on Middlefork Road Wednesday, June 12 at 11
a.m luncheon will follow. As Lonnie would have wished, please donate to the
charity of your choice in lieu of flowers.
