STANLEY OWEN SARGENT

LINCOLN — Stanley Owen Sargent, 83, passed away peacefully Dec. 19, 2025, at his home in Lincoln, Vt., surrounded by loved ones. Stanley was born Feb. 2, 1942, in Bristol, Vt., to Leslie and Mae (Lamott) Sargent.

As a proud veteran, Stanley served his country in the United States Army from 1962 to 1968. Stanley enjoyed spending his time with friends and fellow veterans at the American Legion, playing pool and socializing. Stanley spent much of his time outdoors. Whether mowing his lawn and preserving the wildflowers or deer hunting, the land and his home on Elder Hill brought him much happiness. Stanley was a longtime tree removal expert, continuing to work into his late seventies. When he wasn’t outside splitting wood or trimming trees, he could be found on the golf course connecting with friends.

He leaves behind his son, Brett Sargent and stepson, Wilder Wheelock; his daughters, Stacey Sereno (Michael) and Stephanie Mulvill (Matt), both in Connecticut; 11 grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; his beloved sister Barbara Martell of New Haven, Vt.; and many nieces, nephews, and close friends from the Post 19 American Legion. Stanley was predeceased by his longtime partner, Linda (McDurfee) Sargent; his parents, Leslie and Mae; his siblings Viola, Theodore “Bud’, Charlie, Eugene “Zeke”, Raymond, Patsy, Les, Donald, Nancy, Jimmy, and Saunnie.

A celebration of life will be held in the spring. ◊
