Mary "Sissy" Dryden Stahl's Obituary
Our beloved mother, Mary “Sissy” Dryden Stahl, was reunited in Heaven with all her family and friends who had gone Home before her on July 9, 2020.
She was born during the Great Depression. Her childhood saw a World War. An oilfield brat, her family moved frequently throughout Texas. She attended college by modeling for Barbizon in Dallas. When she moved “home” to care for her ailing Mother, she never dreamed she would marry “The Boy Next Door”, Frederick Stahl, Sr. Their love story endured for 52 years, until his death in 2009.
Throughout her marriage, Mrs. Stahl volunteered faithfully for her church, her children’s schools and her community, contributing thousands of hours and to the lives of countless children and those in need.
Left to cherish her memory are her children: Rebecca “Becky” and CSM (R) Philip Brunwald of Lawton, OK, Elizabeth “Beth” and Mike Yeager of Taos, NM and Frederick “Freddy”, Stahl,Jr. and Bonnie Smith of Longview, TX.
MeMe’s true treasures, however, were her grandchildren: Taylor (James) and Hunter (Endija) Brunwald, Will Yeager, and Baylea (Ryan) Smith. The birth of her first great grandchild, Henry Assenheimer, brought her incredible joy.
In keeping with the wishes of our mother, there will be no funeral services. Please honor our mother’s memory with acts of kindness to others.
