Stanley WRIGHT Obituary
Mt. Hope - Stanley "Stan" Lee Wright, 88, of Mt. Hope, Washington, passed away on June 13, 2024, at his home. He was born on April 9, 1936, in Mt. Hope.
Stanley enjoyed engaging in conversations with everyone he met. He proudly served as a volunteer fireman for Mt. Hope, embodying the spirit of selflessness and courage.
A proud Army veteran, Stanley served for two years. Following his military service, he pursued a career as a lifelong farmer, finding solace and purpose in working the land he loved.
In his leisure time, Stan indulged in hunting, trap shooting, and snowmobiling, embodying his passion for the outdoors. His dedication to trap shooting led him to be honored as a member of the Washington State Trapshooting Hall of Fame.
Stanley is survived by his beloved wife, Ellen; cherished children, Alona (Tom) and Stanley (Tina); and his dear sister, Ruby Faire (Wayne). He was preceded in death by his parents, Frankie and Regina; his brother, Alvin; and his sister, Alice.
A Celebration of Life to honor Stanley's life will be held on Saturday, June 22nd, at Rockford Park, Rockford, WA, from Noon to 3pm. In lieu of flowers, charitable donations to the Shriners Hospital or Mt. Hope Cemetery would be greatly appreciated.

Stan never met a stranger!! He loved people and especially the young kids coming up in the world of trapshooting, giving the young ones help and guidance. My son, Michael Foster, and I will always have a special memory of Stan and his contagious laugh and smile. Our condolences Ellen and family.

So Alona and I are a day apart in age. So we ran together throughout high school.... I have laughed for years that Stan is the only parent who actually shot at me... now granted when he got keyed up at a trapshoot he would yell pull and pull the trigger at the same time peppering the trap house. I happened to be setting trap in the house. But the miles I have gotten from the story. On a more serious note as a boy in 7th grade Stan and his Dad where haying on a field near our place. I walked over and asked for a job. He sized me up... and said we'll throw one of those bails up here. I somehow managed to get it up there with a struggle. He asked me to try again next year. I was disappointed in myself. But his kindness at that moment when I thought he was so intimidating has never been forgotten.
May God continue to bless you and keep your family in his loving hands.
Rest in Peace.

Stan always had a smile and a hug for me whenever we would see him at a trapshoot. And my dad always called him Stanley Wrong

When I was a little guy, I won a toy sword at the Fairfield Flag Day Celebration. He nicknamed me "The Indian Fighter" and called me that for the next 50 years.
