Mrs. Dhone was born October 12, 1932 in Beeville, Texas to the late Mildred Louise (Couser) and William W. McMurray, and died Tuesday, March 15, 2011 at her residence.

Mrs. Dhone was a proud and active member in Zavalla's community. Throughout her life she enjoyed participating in various fundraisers to help support those in need as well as Zavalla ISD's athletic department. Her enthusiasm made her always stand out and shine in the stands. It was well known that sports was a hobby, crocheting and cooking were her art.
