Stanley Alfred Stiernagle

May 11, 1944 — April 24, 2024

Waseca

STANLEY A. STIERNAGLE, age 79 of Waseca, died on the afternoon of Wednesday, April 24, 2024, at Colony Court in Waseca.

 

Stan was born in Waseca County on May 11, 1944, to parents Ervin and Ethel (Gehring) Stiernagle.  He attended school in Waseca and graduated from Waseca High School before beginning to work.  Stan was married to Carol Hartema on October 10, 1964, and together they raised their family in Waseca before divorcing.  As a young father he was involved with his kids’ 4-H and FFA programs, and he enjoyed being a part of the “chore boy contests” at the Waseca County Fair.  Stan farmed until 1970, then drove for GTA Feeds and Bud Schmidt Trucking.  He later worked for a short time at Brown Printing in Waseca until Pastor Harms from St. Paul Lutheran helped him land a job working on the Roy and Marcy Lukken farm.   He was a farm hand for Mert Hildebrandt, worked at Kirtchmen Construction in Mankato, Farm America in Waseca, Fitzsimmons Trucking, his own trucking company, and finally at Cemstone until his retirement.  He was a member of St. Paul Lutheran Church.

 

Stan is survived by three children, Bob Stiernagle and his fiancé Patty Benedict-Serna of Owatonna, Tammy (Dan) Bosshart of Stewartville, and Jeff (Julie) Stiernagle of Waseca; five grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and three brothers, Donald Stiernagle of WI, Richard Stiernagle of Owatonna; and Leroy “Butch” Stiernagle of Waseca.  He was preceded in death by both of his parents; two sisters, Jeanette and Phyllis; a brother, Harland “Jim”, sister-in-law, Marlene Harland, and a nephew, Roger Stiernagle.  In a unique course of events, Stan passed away at the same time as Richard’s wife, Norma “Jeanie” Stiernagle of Owatonna.

 

Services will be held at 11:00 AM on Monday, April 29, 2024, at the Third Street Chapel of Dennis-Steffel-Omtvedt Funeral and Cremation Service in Waseca, with Rev. Michael Grannis officiating.  Visitation will be held for one hour before the service at the funeral home.  Interment will follow at Woodville Cemetery in Waseca.
