Stuart Wells

Stuart Wells Obituary Born December 11, 1940. Family and friends lost a loving Father, proud Papa, Navy veteran, devoted husband, and steadfast care-giver on July 24, 2023 in Bay Minette, Alabama. Stuart was born in Clinton and raised in Camanche, Iowa and after graduating High School chose to serve in the Navy from 1961 to 1966. Honorably discharged and then married to Charlene in San Diego, California, they then moved to Michigan. After a short time on the Pontiac assembly line, he returned to the banks of the Mississippi to provide for his family in Clinton, Iowa where he worked for DuPont until his retirement. After almost 3 decades of 8-hour swing shifts, he settled in the outskirts of Pryor, Oklahoma with his wife, Carolyn to spend time with their children, and pursue gardening, fishing, and his general love of the outdoors. Stuart will be fondly missed by his family, son Michael Wells, wife, Sally of Pensacola, Florida, and grandson, Eric Wells and wife Jamie, of Las Vegas, Nevada, and son (Brian) Todd Wells and wife, Paula and grandson Tyler Wells of Apopka, Florida; step-children, Julie McCormack-Gilliss and husband, Daniel of Drumright, Oklahoma, Joyce Hunst and husband, Gary of Pryor, Oklahoma, Janet Jackson and husband, Charles, of Pryor, Oklahoma, and Jeff Mitchell and wife, Tonya, of Pryor, Oklahoma; sister Joan Chase and husband, Ken of Saluda, Virginia; eighteen grandchildren and step-grandchildren; seventeen great grandchildren and step great grandchildren. Preceded in death, were his parents Raymond G. Wells and Leona Bassler Wells; wives Charlene Morrison and Carolyn Joan Roggendorf; sister Gypsy Wells Quick, brother Raymond Wells; great granddaughter Savannah Wells, daughter in law Marsha Wells, and step grandson James Anthony Knight. Fittingly, Stuart was respected with Taps playing and an honor walk through the halls of the William F. Green Veteran’s Home in Bay Minette, AL after his passing. We will all miss his great heart, uncanny humor, friendly smile, and inspiring thumbs up signal to all veterans he passed. Per Stuart’s wishes, his family and friends will honor him by spreading his ashes on the Mighty Mississippi. No donation requests please, simply stories, memories, and photos if you are so inclined.
