Stan graduated from The University Of Idaho, and then went on to serve 2 years military in the US. Army. While in the army Stan met the love of his life (Thea) , they were married and raised 3 wonderful daughters, Peggy, Shirley, Renee.
Stan lived a full, and joyful life. He enjoyed tennis, golf, sailing, traveling, walking. Stan loved his bike, you may have seen him riding around Lodi until the age of 84. His cousin Jackie told me when they were all young they really enjoyed sitting in their backyard eating watermelon, and having a seed spitting contest.
A little over two years ago Stan moved in with his daughter Shirley, son in-law Dan. After a brief stay in the hospital Stan passed away on Jan.30 2015.
Stan is survived by Thea Ellsworth, his wife of 61 yrs, brothers Robert Ellsworth of Bend Oregon, and Roy Ellsworth of Boise, Id. his 3 close cousins Jackie Last, Tom Mitchell, Nancy Mitchell. Daughters Peggy& Jim Summerville, Shirley& Dan Hoag. of Lodi, Ca. 5 Grandchildren, and 4 great grandchildren.
A memorial will be held at a later date.

I remember good times swimming at their pool as a kid. Ran into Stan and Shirley when visiting my mother at Vienna several years ago. Same great guy I remembered. Hope Thea is comfortable now. My best to Peggy and Shirley.
