Gale L.

Stoller

Gale L. Stoller, 93, of Temperance, Michigan, passed away peacefully on January 6, 2026, in his home, with his wife and loved ones at his side.

Gale was a loving and devoted husband and father. His life was committed to his faith and his family. He was a man of humility and integrity, quietly living out his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Gale was kind and unselfish, always putting others before himself. He listened more than he spoke and could make a friend with anyone he met. His patient manner, warm smile, and quick sense of humor were evident to all who knew him.

Gale's life occupation was that of a beekeeper and honey producer. He began working in the family business, Stoller Honey Farms, Inc., as a boy, alongside his father and two brothers. After marriage, his wife and children worked with him as well. Gale loved his work and taught his family the joy and satisfaction of hard, honest labor. He was a gentle man with an iron will—marked by determination, perseverance, and ingenuity. He enjoyed figuring things out, and it seemed he could fix anything.

Gale was an Army veteran of the Korean War, where he served on the front lines as a medic.

He was born in Latty, Ohio, to Irvin and Marie Stoller. He was preceded in death by his brothers, Wayne (Dorothy) Stoller and Darl (Iva) Stoller, and by his sister, Christine Stoller.

Gale is survived by his devoted and loving wife, Janet; his children, Lavonne (Jon) Elston, Lanna (Doug) Harmon, Wesley (Ying) Stoller, and Carma Maples; 11 grandchildren; and 22 great-grandchildren.

Gale was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2018. He enjoyed and benefited from his outpatient physical therapy at the Kingston Care Center of Sylvania. The family is deeply grateful for the loving care he has received over the years.

Gale was a member of the Apostolic Christian Church, 3730 Herr Road, Sylvania, Ohio. Visitation will be held at the church on Saturday, January 10, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., with the funeral service directly following. A graveside service will be held at 4:00 p.m. at the Apostolic Christian Cemetery in Latty, Ohio. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to the Apostolic Christian HarvestCall USA Bible Distribution Fund.
