Stanley Brasure McCabe, age 79, of Ocean City, MD died Tuesday, January 17, 2023 at home. He was born in Berlin, MD and was the son of the late John William McCabe and Madelyn Brasure McCabe.
Stanley graduated from the University of Maryland's School of Pharmacy (''67) and was a pharmacist for 52 years. For 38 years, he owned and operated Bailey's Pharmacy located on the corner of 8th Street and Philadelphia Avenue in Ocean City. At 15 years old, Stanley began working as a stock clerk for the previous business owner. He bought the store in 1973 and operated the only independent pharmacy in the area until his retirement in 2011.
A past member of the Ocean City Marlin Club, he enjoyed fishing and everything about being on the water. For years, he sponsored a team, Bailey's Hookers, in local fishing tournaments. Stanley had a great sense of humor an never hesitated to do things for other people. He was compassionate and selfless. He shared his time and talent with so many throughout his career and retirement, but he always made time to be there for family and friends, especially his grandchildren.
He is survived by his wife of 57 years Martha Warren McCabe; his children, Kim Justice (Lester) of Bishopville, MD. and Kevin McCabe (Kim) of Ocean City, MD; his granddaughters, Alli Hudson (Brian) and Madelyn Frohm (Phillip); his grandsons, Gavin McCabe and Graham McCabe and his brother, John McCabe (Donna) of Fort Myers, FL.

I knew Stanley (and his brother Johnny) since we were kids. My parents were friends of their parents, Madelyn and Bill McCabe. Stan was always the funny oneand just an all-round good guy.

Stanley was everything said in the obituary and so much more. I remember the days working in Baileys, he would always crack a joke. God Bless the Family.

Cousin Stanley was one of the nicest men I have known. He had a very warm and gentle way about him and was seldom seen without a smile or laugh. Rest in the peace you have earned with your good life here.
