Stanley S. Fiedorczyk Obituary

Stanley Steven Fiedorczyk, 89, of Wilkes-Barre passed away Sunday July 6, 2025, at Riverstreet Manor, Wilkes-Barre. He was born in Wilkes-Barre, the son of the late Stanley and Leona (Jamiolkowski) Fiedorczyk. Stanley was a 1954 graduate of Coughlin High School. He served in U.S. Army, 82nd Airborne Division, from October 1954 to September 1956. Prior to retirement, Stanley worked for Foster Wheeler Manufacturing in Mountain Top, Pa. for 32 years. During that time, he also served as U.E. Local 155’s Union President. Following the facilities closing, he worked for the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for 20 years in the Maintenance Department. Upon retirement, he volunteered as a van driver for the V.A. Medical Center in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.


Stanley loved traveling south for the winter with his wife Stella, mainly to Myrtle Beach where he enjoyed vacationing with the rest of his family. “I’ll be down on the beach with the kids, don’t forget we’re going to Crabby Mike’s for supper.” Besides his love for going south and his family, he loved going “up the cabin,” where he would spend every moment he could relaxing with family and friends. He often said everyone was family there. At the cabin, he was known as one of the original Funnel Brothers, a grand title he shared with his lifelong friend Jay Ruhf. He would always greet you with a drink and give you the standard warning, “watch the cop in Meshoppen” when you were leaving.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife Stella “Tootsie” (Piekanski) Fiedorczyk, his brother, John Fiedorczyk and by his brother-in-law Thomas Rudick.


Stanley is survived by his sons, Steven Edward Fiedorczyk and his wife, Mary Margaret (Feher) Fiedorczyk, Drums Pa. and Stanley (Bub) Joseph Fiedorczyk and his wife, Jill Francis (Maziekas) Fiedorczyk, Wilkes-Barre, Pa; grandchildren, Steven Fiedorczyk and fiancé Alison Schug, Brandon Fiedorczyk, Marcus Fiedorczyk, Sophia Fiedorczyk, Joshua Kaplowitz and Zackery Kaplowitz, He is also survived by his sister Marion (Fiedorczyk) Rudick Sellersville, Pa., brother-in-law Joseph Piekanski St. Lucie, Fl. sister-in law Paulette (Piekanski) Psolka Shavertown, Pa. as well as numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.
