Ora Dell Stayner, age 85, of Edon, Ohio, went home to be with his Savior, surrounded by his family on June 29, 2017. Ora retired from Fidler Concrete , of Angola, Indiana in 1992 after 42 years of service. He served in the US Army in 1951. He was a member of the Edon Church of Christ, Edon Masonic Temple, Edon American Legion Post #664 and the Bryan Moose Lodge.

He enjoyed his free time by mowing lawn, spending time at his family cottage at West Otter Lake, swinging in his front porch swing, and stepping in to fix whatever his friends or family needed. He made everyone he met feel welcome and made sure they had “something to eat”.
He was loved and will be missed and remembered by many. We know we will see him again one day up in heaven dancing to Proud Mary! 

Born July 4, 1931 in Steuben County, Indiana, he was the son of Ora T. and Naomi (Patterson) Stayner. He graduated in 1949 from Orland High School in Orland, Indiana. He went on to marry the love of his life, Betty Marlene Wolff on July 26, 1953 and she survives.

Also surviving are his children, Gail (Kenny) Reitzel, and Douglas T. (Mindy) Stayner, both of Edon; seven grandchildren, Josie Reitzel, Jimmy (Jessica) Reitzel, both of Edon, Braye (Cory) Miller, of Fort Wayne, Bradley Fremion, of Eugene, Oregon, Kaitlyn Manahan, of Blakeslee, Shaylee Manahan, of Edon and Riley Manahan, of Edon; seven great-grandchildren, Sky and Stormlin Osborn, Clara and Carson Reitzel, all of Edon, Phynnigan, Navie and Oliver Dell Miller, of Fort Wayne and sister, Hazel Kain, of Orland, Indiana. He was preceded in death by his parents, brother-in-law, Cleon Kain and nephew, Rick Kain.

Visitation for Ora D. Stayner will be held on Sunday, July 2, 2017, from 1:00 to 4:00 P.M. in the Krill Funeral Home, Edon. Services will be held on Monday, July 3, 2017, at 11:00 A.M. in the Edon Church of Christ with Pastors David LaDuke and Cliff Graves officiating.
