business. At the same time,
they raised their own fam-
ily, beginning with their
daughters,
Lucille Rone
,
who tragically suffered
from Parkinson’s disease
until her premature death
at age 39,
Faustina
, who
recently passed away in
2012,
Gladys Rone Nu-
gent
who passed away in
1989 and finally, their son
C. Victor Rone
. Mary &
Doc Rone became larger

dies that may have caused
a lesser couple to give up
their dream.
