In Loving Memory Of
Stanley Nilsson
Stanley Daren Nilsson (April 28, 1948 – June 11, 2020), passed away surrounded by loved ones at Prairie Lakes Hospice in Grande Prairie, AB at the age of 72 years.
Stan had a lifelong passion for the homebuilding industry working as a carpenter, in lumberyard sales, and ending his career in real estate. His true passion was his relationship with God that was shown through his love for people, his numerous leadership roles within the Grande Prairie Alliance Church, and ultimately using construction experience as a missionary in Mexico and Cuba.
He will be dearly missed by his wife Ruth; his children and grandchildren: Derek and Kathy (Ashley and Kyle) Nilsson, Rae and Ken (Eli, Ella and Emerson) Roberts and James and Angie (Jenna, Tyler and Josh) Nilsson.
Stan is also survived by his siblings: Diana Nilsson, Johanna (Colin) Ruxton, Kevin (Brenda) Nilsson and Karen (Everett) George, sisters-in-law Carol Nilsson and Barb Nilsson.
He is also survived by his first wife Carol’s family, Christine Schell, Elinor (Oral) Benterud, Stan (Lynne) Schamehorn, Harvey (Kim) Schamehorn, as well as Ruth’s brother Rod (Karen) Mitchell.
He was predeceased by his parents Daren and Tillie, his brothers Dwight and Ivan and his first wife of 34 years, Carol.
