Coraline (Stone) Tubbs, age 92 of Lake Station, IN passed away on Tuesday, June 8, 2021. She was born February 14, 1929 in St. Louis MO to Oscar and Mamie Belle (Adams) Stone, who preceded her in death. She was raised and lived her early years in Portageville, MO where she met and married L.D. “Pete” Tubbs in 1946. They relocated in 1953 to northwest Indiana, raising their 7 children (in her eyes Indiana was God’s country). Coraline was a homemaker who loved cooking, canning and baking. She was the queen of crocheting and quilting, with all family members having the privilege of receiving the fruits of her labor, which will forever be cherished. She was a waitress for over 30 years, most of those at Maxine and Heinie’s in Michigan City. She was an avid TV sports fan, watching as much of the Cubs, Bulls and WWF as she could. What she loved the most was spending time with family and sharing her life stories. She is survived by her children Joe (Sandy) Tubbs of Fowler, IN; Diana (Rob) Neri of Rhinelander, WI; Rick (Linda) Tubbs of Wheeler, IN; David (Tana) Tubbs of Indianapolis, IN; Tracey Haddox of Lake Station, IN; Michael Tubbs of Valparaiso, IN; daughter-in law Mary Tubbs of Indianapolis, IN; 21 grandchildren; 35 great-grandchildren; and 1 great-great grandchild; a brother-in-law Don Casbon; sister-in-laws Nonie Searcy and Mary Butts; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband Pete Tubbs, son Thedford Tubbs, daughter-in-law Carolyn Mahaffey, brothers Everett and Thedford Stone and sisters Aline Wright and Melbaline Casbon.
