Stanley George Albiston's Obituary
Stanley George Albiston passed away peacefully on August, 26, 2019, surrounded by his family. Stan was born Jan 18,1933 in Kamloops, British Columbia to John Albiston and Gladys Irene House.
He spent his youth in Canada fishing and helping his mother run a boarding house. At age 22, he chose to attend BYU because he heard there were pretty girls there. It worked because he found the prettiest girl at BYU, Marilyn Gilger, and married her on June 7, 1958 in the Manti Utah temple. He also joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
He retired from Thiokol Corporation in 1997. He later served a mission in Thailand and seven years in the Bountiful Temple. He loved spending time with his family. Every summer was spent hiking, camping, barbecuing and making hand-turned homemade ice cream.
Stan is survived by his spouse, Marilyn, his 7 children, 27 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren.
Stan will be remembered as a man who always put his family first, loved to laugh, was faithful to the end and leaves behind a legacy of love and joy.
