Harold Alvin

Stengel

Harold Alvin Stengel, 78, of Wichita Falls, passed away on April 16, 2025, after a gradual decline in health. He was surrounded and supported by his loving family and caregivers during his final days.

Harold was born in Alliance, Nebraska, and had called Wichita Falls, Texas, home since 1984. A proud veteran of the U.S. Navy and Navy Reserves, he served his country with honor and integrity from 1965 to 1971.

In 1965, Harold met and married the love of his life, Mary Stengel. Together, they built a beautiful life and raised two children, Frank and Michelle. Harold was a devoted husband, a loving father, and a proud "Papa" to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

A hardworking and determined man, Harold owned and operated his own gutter company for many years before selling the business. He later worked for United Supermarket until health issues led to his retirement.

Harold found joy in life's simple pleasures. He cherished family vacations, enjoyed playing golf with his best friends, loved a good card game, and found peace in fishing. Above all, he treasured every moment spent with his beloved family.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his loving wife, Mary.

Harold is survived by his brother, Larry Stengel, and wife Linda; his sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Valerie and Jerry McLead; his son, Frank Stengel, and wife Melissa; his daughter, Michelle Oates, and husband Walter; grandchildren, Shelana and husband Marshall, Casey, Jonathon, Dillion, Jimmy and wife Jordyn, Jacob, Braydon, Kaleb, and Johnny; and great-grandchildren, Paislee, Kohda, Tinslee, Brier, Hadleigh, Delaynie, Rhylee, Teagon, Brantly, Bryston, Bentley, and Jax.

A funeral service will be held on April 26, 2025, at 2:00 PM at Heritage Assembly of God, 2216 Southwest Parkway, Wichita Falls, TX.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Harold's name to Meals on Wheels Wichita County, 1000 Burnett Street, Wichita Falls, TX 76301.
