Stanley K. Ellenberger, 88 years of age, long time Hiram resident, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, October 20, 2022. Born on November 5, 1933 at the family home in Hiram Township, he was the son of the late Kenneth W. and Alta M. (Rood) Ellenberger. Stanley had been employed as a mechanic at Martin Motors in Ravenna, and also served as an assistant Hiram fire chief, fire fighter and Hiram police officer. Keeping up the Ellenberger family tradition, he maintained a hard work ethic second to none all through his life. He thrived on his children’s accomplishments, and the times he and “ Midge” spent with them. Stanley enjoyed watching Fox TV, NASCAR racing, going out to eat and “tinkering” with anything mechanical, and held patriotism to his country as paramount. For those who knew Stanley, there will never be a doubt that he was a true Donald Trump supporter!

Survivors include his son Dan (Terrie) Ellenberger of Hiram, his daughter Darlene (Kurt) Reim of Diamond, Ohio; brother Roger (Maryann) Ellenberger of Brookpark, Ohio; 7 grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren and 1 great, great grandchild, and many nieces and nephews.
