Joseph Frank Stickler

Age 81, of West St. Paul

Loving father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, Joseph Frank Stickler, passed away peacefully on November 7, 2025, surrounded by family. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Barbara Stickler (Whaley); parents, Frank and Evelyn Stickler and brother, John. Joe will be deeply missed by his treasured friend and companion of 15 years, MaryAnn Richter, who brought sunshine and happiness into all our lives at just the right moment. MaryAnn came with her own children and grandchildren who quickly embraced Papa Joe as their own and loved him deeply. He is survived by his children, Mike (Sue), Bob (LeeAnn), and Joe (Joanne); seven grandchildren, Thomas, Megan, Samantha, Jack, Jaime, Taylor, and Hannah; and two great-grandsons, Henry and Caden. He will be fondly remembered by the extended Richter family, his brothers and sisters-in-law, and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends.

The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate staff at Timber Hills Retirement Community for their exceptional care, kindness, and support.
