Marcia R. Hartstone

Marcia R. Hartstone, age 82, died unexpectedly Sept. 29 at her home on Bainbridge Island.

She was born Jan. 12, 1922, in Boston, Mass., to Joseph and Gertrude (Burnce) Rosen.

Following graduation from secretarial school, she married Leon C. Hartstone, also of Boston (Harvard Class of 1941) and worked at Hingham Shipyard while Lee served in India during World War II. After the war, they settled in Brookline, Mass.

In 1950 they moved with their three children to Valley Stream, N.Y., where they lived until 1964. During this period, Marcia was active in her family’s life and worked as a secretary at ABC-TV.

In 1964, the family moved to the San Francisco Bay Area where she worked for her husband in the record business.

In 1970, they moved to Los Angeles to start a new business venture, Integrity Entertainment, and continued working together until Lee’s death in 1982.

She then spent many years as a volunteer at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, while also pursuing her lifelong interest in world travel and needlecrafts.

In 2001, she moved to Bainbridge Island to spend her final years with her daughters.

She is survived by daughters Jane E. Stone and Judith Hartstone of Bainbridge Island, son Roger Hartstone of Flagstaff, Ariz., and grandchildren Joseph and Laura.

She was preceded in death by her sister, Enid Ruth Jackson of La Jolla, Calif.
