Carnell Stone, 84, of Ingleside, died Wednesday, February 12, 2020, at home.  He was born February 11, 1936, in Madison, TN.

Carnell was honorably discharged from the Armed forces of the United States in 1955.  Once back from service, Carnell and Rosemary married and moved from Madison, Tennessee to Chicago, Illinois where they had five kids over the course of 20 years. He was a farmer when he was young, and a truck driver until he re-retired.  He loved his family, he loved his friends, but most of all he loved his cookouts!!  Once known as "The Cook" at all events, he always knew how to get the party started and keep it going.
