Mrs. Stanley will always be remembered for being the life of the party, her quick wit, sense of humor and her warm smile. She was a hard worker that took great pride in everything she did. She never met a stranger. She lit up a room just by entering it. Her energy and passion for life was contagious. Her greatest passion was family. She loved her family dearly. Her free time was spent “ riding the roads” to visit them. You never found her without a Diet Coke and red freshly manicured nails.
