Stanley Kenneth Scebold
Scebold, Stanley Kenneth
3 Mar 1935 - 4 Mar 2014
Stanley Kenneth Scebold was born on March 3, 1935 in Loveland, Iowa to
Donald Ross and Mattie Marie (Christensen) Scebold, the youngest of four
sons. He was baptized on April 21, 1935 at St. Paul's Evangelical
Lutheran Church in Missouri Valley, Iowa, and was later confirmed there.
Stan grew up in a country school setting where his mother was his
teacher. He graduated from Missouri Valley High School in 1953.
He had a number of different jobs including house construction and grain
bin inspection before joining the Army in July 1956 where he served for
two years in the Honor Guard participating in many funerals and standing
guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. After the service he was
employed at Western Electric where he met Carol. They were married on
July 9, 1960 at St. Peters Lutheran Church in Gresham, Nebraska, and to
this union three children were born: Linda, Steve, and Dave. Stan and
Carol raised their family in Elkhorn, Nebraska. He was a devoted
husband, loving father, and very special grandpa that loved to spend
time with his family.
Stan could fix almost anything and was a talented woodworker. His many
projects can be seen not only in his home, but also in those of his
children, friends, neighbors, and his church, Zion Lutheran. Stan was
always willing to lend a helping hand and touched many people's lives
through his quiet service. He also enjoyed playing cards, fishing,
boating, traveling, and playing an occasional prank or two.
In July of 1994, with 36 years of service, Stan retired from Western Electric, later known as AT&T and Lucent. Stan was involved in the Telephone
Pioneers doing volunteer work for Habitat for Humanity, Child Saving
Institute, Easter Seal Camp, and children's vision screening at schools.
Stan showed his faith in his Savior by how he lived to serve.
Stan passed away on March 4, 2014 at the age of 79 years and a day. He
was preceded in death by parents and one brother, Richard. He is
survived by his wife, Carol of Elkhorn, Nebraska; daughter Linda and
son-in-law David Saville of Rockwall, Texas, two sons Steve and

Lily; two brothers Bob (Donna) Scebold of Medford, Oregon and Harold
