Stanley Aulabaugh Obituary
November 20, 1940 - August 24, 2025
Santa Maria - Stanley E. Aulabaugh, Jr. passed away peacefully on August 24th, 2025, at the age of 84 years old. Born in Hagerstown, Maryland, Stanley grew up tinkering with motors and tending to his family 's farm.
His love of engines and cars fueled his interest in mechanical engineering at West Virginia University. Working on engines was the plan, but his life took a turn when the Vietnam War broke out. After joining the Air Force, Stanley circumnavigated the globe more than 30 times in large planes as a navigator. Always enjoying being outside, Stanley had a diverse career including real estate development, land surveying, and house building. He was the developer of Millpoint, a blue-chip residential sub-division in Martinsburg, West Virginia. However, most of Stanley's professional career was spent in the space industry where Stanley was well-known as a practical safety expert. His involvement was requested by private launch companies doing business with the government due to his "get it done" and problem-solving nature.
He is survived by his daughter, Toni Aulabaugh, and sons Guy and Dirk Aulabaugh (Marnie), and his grand-daughter, Ava Aulabaugh. Stanley was pre-deceased by his wife Frances Dee Aulabaugh in 2011. Stanley and Dee will be interred in the columbarium at Arlington Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia. The twinkle in his eyes, his silly dad jokes, and his love for his family will be missed. We will use "cool beans" in your honor, Stan the Man.

"A", as his brother, Lee called him, was a superb person. He would always say how much he enjoyed the meals throughout the years at our house. I have always had high regards for him and proud to say Stanley was my brother-in-law. There are many fine memories of him in the Aulabaugh family.
