Eastern Adams County's Only Independent Voice Since 1887

Stanley Zane Streeter

1927 - March 15, 2022

Stanley Zane Streeter died March 15, 2022. At the time of his death he was the oldest Veteran in the State of Washington.

He was born in 1927 in Ritzville. He lived there until his 18th birthday, when he enlisted. Upon his return, he and his father built 22 houses in the flat. Relocated to Oregon but returned to be here for his mother. Upon his return he remodeled his family home and helped Kirk Danakas part- time and work was fun to him I am sure his cousin Dusty Van Vleet and Nephew Albert Replogel tired of visiting, only to have projects planned for them to complete. He enjoyed doing odd jobs for widows in town and being paid with pies and cookies.

His biggest joys were singing in church, going on motorcycle runs with his family and doing projects with his best friend and partner in crime. Stanley started his 23 houses at the age of 88 and finished at 90.

In lue of flowers please help with a promise he made to look after Freda Thaut. He and Rudy Thaut had a race to see at whose funeral Susan Schaffer would sing at 1st, Rudy won.
