Stanley Kenneth Scebold

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. After working for Western Electric, later known as Lucent, for 36 years he retired in July 1994. 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.
