Obituary for Wilmer Clarence Stang
Obituary Wilmer Clarence Stang 1931-2019
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear husband, father, and grandfather on November 28, 2019 in Rainy River, Ontario.
Wilmer was born in North Branch. After the untimely death of his father when he was five, Wilmer, his mother and four siblings moved to Devlin. After a few years he and his family moved to Dewart Township and that is where he married, raised his family and spent the rest of his life.
When Wilmer was a boy he had two key mentors in his life, Cliff Berg and Ed Mundahl.
Wilmer worked very hard for many years primarily as a beef farmer, trapper and an independent logger.
He was active in his community throughout his life, involved with the School Board, Local Roads Board, and the Pineridge Cemetery, to name a few. He was generous with his time in advocating for and assisting his family, friends, neighbours and visitors.
Wilmer had unending time, patience, and affection for his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and the children of his neighbourhood.
Wilmer will be missed by his wife of 65 years, Marjorie; his children Steven (Karen) Stang, Dwight (Carolyn) Stang, Joyce (Allan) Pennarun, and Janet (Steve) Lenart; his grandchildren Vincent Pennarun, Joleen Pennarun, Laura (Eldon) Gibson, Wade Stang, Kayla (Carter) Stang, Ashley (Ryan) Everton, Steven (Shailey) Lenart; great-grandchildren Maya, Jacob, Brittany Gibson, and Abigail Gibson.
He also leaves to mourn his sisters and brothers-in-law Grace Stang, Bradley Haw, Delores (Dudley) Livingston, Malcolm Douglas, and Brad (Diane) Brannan.
Wilmer leaves behind his many nieces and nephews and their families, for whom he had a very special place in his life.
Wilmer was predeceased by his parents William Stang and Myrtle (Cliff) Berg nee Caul. Brothers and sisters William (Evelyn) Stang, George Stang, Dale (Shirley) Berg, Katherine (Art) Nielson, Edith Haw, sister-in-law Ruby Douglas and niece Sheryl Cook.
