Stan R. Inman
1945-2025
Stanley Russell Inman was born in 1945 to Russell and Leona (Herrold) Inman at an Oklahoma City hospital, three months after his father was killed in World War II. Inman was raised in Edmond by his widowed mother, a longtime secretary to the school superintendent. Growing up in what was then a small bedroom community dominated by a college was "a great childhood," he said. "Idyllic. All the world's problems and fears were a long way away."
After graduating from college Stan began his career with Oscar Meyer Co., an Oklahoma City company he would stay with for 15 years. When General Foods bought the company, Inman, a large accounts supervisor, accepted a buyout large enough to pursue a master's degree at the University of Central Oklahoma.
After graduating, he began teaching adult education business development classes at a vocational-technical school in addition to teaching business and transportation classes at UCO as an adjunct faculty member. Stan was elected as District 3 County Commissioner and held that position for many years.
Stan was a member of the Edmond Church of Christ and participated in many civic organizations in Edmond. For many years he raced cars with the Sports Car Club of America. "Everything I've ever done in my life I've enjoyed," he said.
Stan was preceded in death by his parents and many aunts, uncles and cousins. He is survived by his cousin Desnee Elgin and her family.
A Graveside service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 31, 2025 at Gracelawn Cemetery.
