Kenneth W. Stanley

September 28, 1943 — May 21, 2017

Kenneth W. Stanley, of Hardeman County TN, died mid-day Sunday May 21, 2017 at Park Rest, Hardin County Health Center in Savannah, TN, where he resided since November 2016. He died of complications caused by advanced Alzheimer’s disease. Kenneth was tenderly cared for by the wonderful staff at Park Rest.

Kenneth died at age 73 after almost 34 years of marriage to Paula Stanley. He was born in Abilene, TX, spending most of his youth in Corpus Christi, TX. He traveled the world for 20 years with the US Navy in the aviation field and then with Northrop Grumman instructing Air National Guard members in anti-missile technology. Since 1997, he has enjoyed retirement in Hardeman County.

Kenneth was an avid genealogist, frequently doing cemetery look-ups, a member of APTA and Hardeman County Arts Council.

Kenneth is survived by his wife Paula; his mother Iva Stanley; two sons, Kenneth E. and Kevin W. (Katie) Stanley; six grandchildren: Jessie Tyler, Nickolas, Krista Stanley, Ryan, Dalton, & Travis Wilbur; and one great grandson, James Stanley. Kenneth’s siblings are Jessie (Rebecca) Stanley, Janice Stanley and Dorothy Carr.

Kenneth was preceded in death by his father Jessie L. Stanley. A Veteran’s Memorial Stone will be placed at the foot of his father’s grave in Evergreen Cemetery, Odom, TX. Alzheimer’s disease is a cruel, demoralizing incurable illness and needs a cure. Bless all who are affected by it!
