Izetta Stoneking, who lived at 677 Via de la Paz for 26 years, passed away on November 21 at the age of 85. She had moved to Oklahoma City five years ago, where her son and extended family lived. While Izetta resided here, she was well known for her skills as a seamstress. She had over 1,500 clients who regularly brought her items to mend or alter at her home. Even after she moved away, many clients still sent her sewing. She was someone who was always there for a friend and will be missed. Izetta was born February 26, 1922, in Okmulgee, Oklahoma. After she separated from her husband, Jack Stoneking, a friend in Pacific Palisades enticed her to move here from Denver. A memorial service was held on November 25. Cards can be sent to Harold and Juanita Gasaway (her son and daughter-in-law) at 13209 Turtlecreek Drive, Oklahoma City, OK 73170. Since Izetta had a love of animals, her family has requested that, in lieu of flowers, donations be sent to: Pet Adoption Fund, 7507 Deering Ave., Canoga Park, CA 91303. Telephone: (818) 340-1687.
