Stanley Edward Workman Sr., 75, passed away at Southern Ohio Medical Center early Monday morning on Nov. 1, 2010.
Born in New Boston, Ohio, he was the eldest son of Cowan Workman and Pauline Crabtree.
A lifelong resident of Portsmouth, Ohio, he is survived by his wife of 56 years, Doris Jean (Gore) Workman, whom he married on Sept. 23, 1954; six children, Karen Lee Grashel (Scott) of St. Petersburg, Fla., Kimberly Sue, Stanley Edward Jr., Gordon Cowen, Bruce Maurice (Polly A.) and Polly Jean Bowman (Richard), all of Portsmouth; eight grandchildren, Amy and Zachary Grashel of St. Petersburg, Fla., Woodrow and Jack Workman, Mark Jackson Jr., Richelle, Candace and Richard Bowman II, all of Portsmouth. He is also survived by four brothers and sisters, Thomas Workman (Martha) of Mount Olivet, Ky., Jenny Klein (John) of Oak Hill, Ohio, Jim Workman and Marta Hale, both of Portsmouth. In addition, he is survived by his nephews and nieces, Doug Workman, Kelly Mullins, Laura Tilton, Darren Maple, Josie Howard, Samuel Blanton, Patrick and Matthew Hale.
He was preceded in death by his parents, and by nephews, Scott Maple and Wesley Workman.
Stanley worked early on as an assistant manager at Albers Supermarket, and then for many years as produce manager at Emnett’s IGA in New Boston. He was an avid sports fan, and spent many years coaching Portsmouth Little League, Pee Wee Football, as well as several years of coaching football and basketball at Grant Middle School. He loved all children and youth with which he came into contact; no matter whether they played on the team he was coaching. He was always willing to pitch in and give “hands on” instruction. He also had a great love for horse and dog racing, and had many good times attending these events with friends.
Funeral services will be 11 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 4, 2010, at F.C. Daehler Mortuary Company in Portsmouth, with Rev. Stanley N. Webster officiating. Interment will be in Greenlawn Cemetery. Friends may call from 5 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday at Daehlers and one hour before the service on Thursday.
Donations may be made in memory of Stanley Workman Sr. to the Wesley Workman Scholarship Fund, and sent to the Portsmouth City Schools Business Office, Kyle Smith, Treasurer, 724 Findlay St., Portsmouth, OH 45662.
