Stanley Richard rose was born on Thursday, March 25th, 1954 in Tulsa, OK, the son of Orville Albert and Vida Beatrice (Long) Rose. He was raised in a family with five brothers and one sister, Michael, twins, Roy and Troy Rose, Larry, Ina and Ike. He started school at Keota and then Tahlequah. He met and married his best friend, Karen Sue Rice on September 21st, 1972 in Tahlequah, OK at his parent’s home. This union was blessed with five daughters and one son, Tammi, Jennifer, Wendy, Richard, Rachael, and Mariah. Stanley worked construction in the carpentry industry. He also worked as a Sanitation Technician at the Hulbert Schools for 12 years. He was a family man first and foremost, and his wife and children were very important to Stanley. He worked hard from sun up to sun down and then came home and started working around the house again! He kept his yard and gardens immaculate, and he raised some of the best flowers and vegetables you have ever seen. He loved hunting, and enjoyed chasing after the deer, coon, and rabbits in the area, and then a little fishing at his favorite spot. His favorite relaxation was sitting on his porch with Karen at his side, and admiring the view of the deer from his own backyard. He was quiet, and contemplative, laid back and one hard working man. He was tender hearted and would help anyone that asked him for his assistance. He was never too busy to spend time with his adored grandchildren, and sharing a smile or a story. Once the grandkids figured out how to make him smile, they loved to see that grin on his face. He adored them. He was a Christian by faith, and an associate pastor at Liberty Tabernacle in Tahlequah in the late 80’s, and served his Lord and Savior all the days of his life. His health failed him and the Lord called this loving kind and gentle man home from his family and his many labors on Tuesday, August 18th, 2020 in Tahlequah, OK with his family by his side. He was 66 years old and will be greatly missed.

He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Henery Anderson and Lina (McGuire) Long and Richard and Isabelle (Dole) Rose. He is also preceded by his mother, father, two brothers Larry and Michael and his adored daughter, Tammi Sims earlier in the month.

He leaves his brothers and sister, Roy Rose and wife Penny of Hulbert, OK, Troy Rose and wife Janet of Moody, OK, Ina Bell Trammel and husband Gerald of Moody, OK, and Ike Rose and wife Sue of Tahlequah, OK.
