Stanley Richard Schweppe, 83, of Montesano, WA passed away on January 10, 2023.
Stanley was born on December 20, 1939 to Edward and Margaret Schweppe in Walla Walla, WA. After
graduating from high school he was drafted into the Army where he served 2 years in Germany. After
his time with the Army, he went to work for the Army Corps of Engineers. With the Army Corps of
Engineers he worked at Mud Mountain Dam (Enumclaw, WA), Wynoochee Dam (Montesano, WA), and
finally retired while working at the Hiram M Chittenden-Ballard Locks (Seattle, WA).
In 1966, he married Barbara (Clark) Schweppe, and had 2 children, Tami and Todd.
Stanley enjoyed spending time camping with family, hunting, and coaching softball. During the annual
Labor Day "neighborhood" camping weekends he will always be remembered as the one responsible for
dropping off those floating the Wynoochee River and keeping the fire going for when everyone
returned. After retirement, he drove school bus, and became a member of the Montesano Moose
Lodge.
He is survived by his wife, Barbara, his daughter Tami Thompson (Scott) and grandson Derek, his son
Todd Schweppe (Tiffany), and 4 granddaughters Lilly, Samantha, Haley, and Marissa, 2 sisters, 2 brothers
and numerous nieces and nephews.
