As children we were neighbors of the Stambaugh family.  We remember your Mother and Father as kind and gracious people. Mrs. Stambaugh was always in her garden in the summertime and would always greet us with a wave and a smile. It is a smile I still remember well and try always to emulate with children now in our own neighborhood.  Your parents were an example in Fulton of what good people should be to their neighbors.  Condolence to all your family…

So grateful that we moved to the neighborhood so many years.  Glad to remember your mom today.  She and your dad were the honorary grandparents of that great neighborhood.  Your mom was sought after by the kids when she was in her garden.  My boys often would come home with a handful of flowers that she shared.  Your dad taught my oldest son all he knew about his lawnmower.  Skills he still uses today.  I think I can speak for the whole neighborhood when I say that your parents made the community much better by their presence, and their legacy lives on in the children who benefitted from knowing them

Dear Laura and Family,
Although we have only been neighbors for a short time, I know how much your mom meant to you and especially to your children. All of your photos pay a loving tribute to her.

My condolences go out to Laura and all the family. Mrs. Stambaugh shared her gifts through music. I have fond memories  working with her when I was a volunteer at FHS and assisted with music therapy.  





So very sorry for your loss Laura, Ray and family.  I can remember her being hall monitor at Bush School. She was always so nice and always smiling. Thoughts and prayers with you all. 

Mrs. Stambaugh was the kindness person I ever had the privilege to know. Such great childhood memories.  We were certainly blessed to have her as our neighbor. 

Raymond, so sorry to learn of your mama's passing. I still laugh when I recall going to your house for Lucky 13 initiation scavenger hunt with a list as long as my arm! Your mom scurried around to find as many items as she could. Bless her heart...we were a mess and she STILL let us in! I hope you find solace and peace as you mourn her and recall fond memories. Hugs!  

Dorothea was my go to for knowledge of flowers and plants .
 Many times she put me to work on her yard and Always thankful for my efforts yet I was the one being blessed  for her being a teacher of nature 

I have so many memories of Mrs. Stambaugh.  She provided me with so many of my happy childhood memories. From making us tents,,  making the best French toast ever, decorating beautiful cakes, her love of gardening, going to church and California in "Bessie" (if my memory hasn't failed me), so many more memories of her it would take hours to share. That beautiful voice that sang for us on earth has joined the angels in heaven to sing with them. My deepest sympathy to Laura, Johnathan, Raymond and their families. Also to the many lives that was blessed to have been touched by her..

A beautiful woman.  She was a good neighbor.  Always there for everyone.  She will be missed. 

Jason and I were just talking about your mom a week ago.  My boys grew up with your folks' property and ours touching.  Every spring and summer your mom helped both boys pick beautiful flowers from her garden for me.  She was an extraordinary woman and will be missed.
