George Stanton Obituary
Born in Pittston, he was the son of the late B. Lee and Ruth Harris Stanton.
George was a graduate of West Side Area Vocational Technical School. During his life he became a jack of all trades, doing everything from running Stanton Greenhouses to logging. The most important thing in his life was being a brother, father, uncle and grandfather.
Besides his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Lee J. Stanton, and a sister, Sunday L. Stanton.
He is survived by his sisters, Donna and her husband, Jack, Falls; and Gladys Lincoln, Harding; and his children, Jennifer Stanton, West Pittston; Lee Ann Stanton, Tunkhannock; George Stanton, West Wyoming; and Teresa Fox, Harding. He also has stepdaughters and anyone lucky enough to consider him a father. Also surviving are his grandchildren, Kyla, Madison and Kolton, along with many nieces and nephews.
Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday from Gubbiotti Funeral Home, 1030 Wyoming Ave., Exeter, with Ruth Liples, pastor, Mount Zion United Methodist Church, Harding.
Relatives and friends may call from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday at the funeral home.
Interment will be in Mountain View Burial Park, Harding.
George, along with his family, would like to extend sincere thanks to Dr. McIntyre, Dr. Gilhooley and the nurses and staff at Regional Hospital. Also a special thank you to the ladies that George lovingly referred to over the years as his "wives." Your kindness to George will always be remembered.
This is one pair of boots that can never be filled.

Donna, Jack and family, I'm so sorry to hear of George's passing. I haven't seen him in years either but he was always such a kind and pleasant person. I remember when he moved his home from River Road, Falls, to his property. He was so happy and I couldn't believe he was doing it. I don't think George knew the word "no" in his vocabulary. He could do anything! Rest in Peace, George, you were a good person.
