Margery J. Stanley, 94, Executive Vice President of the Oahu Publishing Company

Margery J. Stanley, age 94, of Avon, passed away and went to join our Lord on May 24th, 2003. Margery Jayne Foulke, daughter of Helena (nee Miller) and Loring Foulke was born on May 3, 1909 in Oil City, Pennsylvania.

Margery joined the John and Belle Fleming family of Cleveland at the age of three. She was lovingly raised as their foster daughter. She married Harry G. Stanley, President of the Oahu Publishing Company on April 11, 1941. In the early 50's the Stanleys relocated to Avon where Margery had designed and personally supervised the building of the family home.

During her working career Margery's positions included employment as a bank teller and Executive Vice President of the Oahu Publishing Company. She is survived by her daughter Marilyn "Kitter" Stanley of Grand Rapids, MN, a nephew Jack Dixon of Sun City West, AZ, her granddaughter, Greta Ann (Nathaniel Wescott Jr.) Terry of Willis Wharf, West Virginia, a godchild Kimberly (Doug) Eiting of Avon Lake, and her two best friends who were daily caregivers, Doris Jewett of Elyria and Angee Mayhew of Amherst.

A private service for family and friends will be held at a future date. Deepest gratitude goes to the Cleveland Visiting Nurse's Association's Hospice and Care Plus Programs, which the family would like, designated for any memorials in Margery's name.

All arrangements are being handled by the Busch-Burmeister Family Chapel, Avon Lake, 440-933-3202.
