Stanley Frederick

Stanley C. Frederick, 86, of Moore, died peacefully on Jan. 11, 2022, surrounded by his children.

Born March 1935, in Okarche, he was predeceased by his wife, Janis, and his parents Clarence and Ruth Frederick.

After growing up and working alongside his father on what would become an Oklahoma Centennial Farm, Stan developed a lifelong passion for farming.

Even though he worked in multiple vocations throughout his life, Stan always found time to farm with his son John and father Clarence.

Stan could be found in the wheat field nearly his entire life during harvest season, as well as working cattle and handling the many tasks passed down to him from his predecessors.

Stan graduated from Okarche High School in 1953.

He attended Oklahoma State University for one year and then moved to Dallas to start his career with Transcon Freight Lines, where he met Janis.

From 1957 to 1959, Stan served in the United States Army both stateside and in Germany.

After an honorable discharge, Stan resumed his career at Transcon which ultimately moved he and his family back to Oklahoma.

Later in life, Stan worked for the City of Oklahoma City in several areas, including the Oklahoma City Police Department, from which he retired.

Stan is survived by his daughter, Cindy, daughter Sherry and husband Eddie, son John and wife Ester, son Jason and wife Kerri, seven grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, three siblings and three nieces. “Pop” will be dearly missed by all who loved him.

Stan will be interred at Resthaven Cemetery, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. A memorial service was Saturday, Jan. 15, at First Christian Church in Moore.
