Stanley Elbert Crone

 

Stanley Elbert Crone passed away peacefully at home and joined his Father in Heaven on Sunday, May 8, 2016.

Stan was born July 22, 1930 to Claude and Dollie Crone in Childress, Texas.

He joined the Navy and served his country from 1948-1950 at which time he was honorably discharged to care for his mother.

Stanley met the love of his life, Pauline Hanna, in Turkey, Texas and they were united in marriage on June 16, 1951.

They made their home in Carlsbad, New Mexico where he worked for Potash Company of America as an electrician.

Stan and Polly were blessed with two beautiful children, Trisha and Gary.

They moved to Port Lavaca, Texas in 1967 where he worked as an Electrical Supervisor until his retirement from Alcoa in 1992.

They then retired in Meadowlakes, Texas where he with his wife lived until his death.

Growing up in the 30’s instilled in Stanley hard work ethics.

He was a self-taught mechanic, electrician, carpenter, plumber and general handyman.

Stanley was the most loving, caring, and kindest man; a gentle soul, a wonderful husband, daddy and Pop-Pop to his family.

He is survived by his wife, Pauline Crone; daughter Trisha and husband Guy Clifton of Meadowlakes, Texas; son Gary Crone and wife Gloria of Port Lavaca, Texas; grandchildren Brandon Pounds of Cottonwood Shores, Texas, Julissa and husband Gabriel Lopez of Port O’Connor, Texas, Gary Crone, Jr. and wife Tiffany of Port O’Connor, Texas, Hunter Scott of McKinney, Texas, Hanna Crone of Victoria, Texas; great-grandchildren Hailey Pounds and Kaleb Pounds of Cottonwood Shores, Texas, Lyric and Luna Lopez and Paxon Crone of Port O’Connor, Texas and several nieces and nephews.

 Stanley was preceded in death by his parents; brothers M.L. Crone and Grover Crone; sister Claudia Adkins and grandson Nicolas Pounds.

Thank you to everyone for thoughts and prayers and Hospice for peace and support.
