DUNMOR – Glendell Newman Stinson, 84, of Dunmor, passed away peacefully at his home Tuesday, October 20, 2020. Born October 31, 1935, in Muhlenberg County to the late Roy Bennett Stinson and Nellie Ethel Clark Stinson. He was a retired coal miner and member of the UMWA. He farmed his whole life, and was a carpenter who could build anything he had a mind to do. He loved to garden and grow things; many years his watermelons would be too big to pack from the field. He loved to hunt and fish, and had a way with his bird dogs, cattle, donkeys, cats, and dogs. He passed his love of animals to his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents; sisters Wanda Jones and Dorothy Stinson; and brothers Harold Stinson, William Stinson, and Donald Stinson.
Survivors include his wife of 63 year, Mary Saddler Stinson; sons David (Debra) Stinson and Michael (Heather) Stinson; daughters Margaret (Danny) Garrett and Judy (William) Kelly; grandchildren Matthew (Danielle) Stinson, Heather Stinson, Chad Garrett, Tina (Kyle) Guffey, Samantha Thacker, Rachel Edwards, Hunter Stinson, Brooklyn Stinson, Lillian Harris, and Lucas Stinson; great-grandchildren Mischa and Messiah Collins, Ben, Gracie, and Hannah Guffey, Mathew, Hayden, and Ethan Larson, Connor Thacker, and Alek Edwards; sisters Ethel Sapp and Martha Heltsley; and brother Jim Stinson.
