Stanley Paul Whaley

1928 - 2018

Stanley was born in Callaway NE, July 31, 1928. He lived four score and ten years and enjoyed good health most of that time. He lived in assisted living for only the last six weeks of his life, otherwise in his own home doing his own cooking, cleaning, washing himself. Work and discipline were his trademarks.

He was the last of 13 children born to Fred Earl Whaley and Gertrude Nansel Whaley. And he is that last of that "greatest generation" .

He married Ruth Kleeb Whaley June 6, 1949. She passed away in September of 2012. From farming in Nebraska to owning and operating an A & W Root Beer business in Springville, Utah, they worked together as husband and wife and business partners. Their 3 children were also involved in the food enterprise!

He is survived by their two children Bruce (Norma) Whaley, Brenda Stowe, and was preceded in death by one son Paul (Cynthia) Whaley. Also eight grandchildren, Ben (Erin) Whaley, Katrina (Jess) Leonard, Abbie (Chad Tengler) Whaley, Andrew (Rhianna) Whaley, Bernard Whaley, Jennifer (Jerry Hofstad) Elliott, Julie (Charles Maxey) Stowe, Zachary (Whitney) Stowe.
