Arthur Stambaugh

1924 - 2018

COOLVILLE - Arthur Ford Stambaugh, 93, of Coolville, passed away Sunday, June 17, 2018 at Arcadia Valley.
He was born on Candy Run Road, Scioto County, on Oct. 14, 1924, the youngest of eight, to the late Arthur Blaine and Rosa Webb Stambaugh.
He graduated from Valley High School, Class of 1942 and won the medal of Good Conduct for his class. He was enlisted in WWII but received a deferment from the War Manpower Commission to remain on the farm. He and his father worked very hard to meet quotas. He had several jobs in construction, foundries, machinist's shops, steel mills while always farming full time. He was on the original construction crew for the Piketon Uranium Enrichment Plant. As a loyal union worker, he often was a pain to any employer who did not follow safety concerns. It is fitting he died on Father's Day as he was a loving yet firm father.
Daddy leaves behind his three girls; Teena (Neil) Stambaugh of Coolville, Jennifer (John) Stambaugh of Benton, Kentucky, and Laura (Jim) Stambaugh of Kingman, Arizona; seven grandchildren, and eleven great-grandchildren. He also leaves behind his sister, Juanita Foster of Grove City, son-in-law Del Norman, and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
He is proceeded in death by his wife of 53 years, Virginia, and daughter Arlene Norman.
Funeral services are private graveside at Evergreen Cemetery. Arrangements have been entrusted to White-Schwarzel Funeral Home in Coolville. You are invited to sign the online guestbook at www.whiteschwarzelfh.com
