*Obituary*



Stanley Partyka, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend,
passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, service, and
devotion to his family and community.



Born to John and Jean Partyka, Stanley grew up surrounded by strong family
values that he carried throughout his life. He was the cherished husband of
Mary Jo Partyka, with whom he shared a lifetime of love and partnership.
Together, they raised two children: Colleen Baker and Keith Partyka.
Stanley was thrilled when Colleen and Keith found their significant others,
Ian McKenzie and Keshia Smith, as he considered them his other son and
daughter. Stanley was a proud and doting grandfather to Emaline Baker,
Noelle Baker, and Luke McKenzie, each of whom brought immense joy to his
life.



Stanley grew up in Trenton, surrounded by his siblings: Edward and June
Partyka, Eleanor and Butch Szul, John and Marie Partyka, Robert and Debbie
Partyka, and then formed a close bond with his brother in law Jim and his
wife Lisa Scaringelli. His large extended family included nieces and
nephews Kristen and Alex Usarzewicz, Tracie and Raymond Clevenger, Anthony
and Kristen Scaringelli, Michael and Brittany Scaringelli, and many other
loved nieces and nephews, all of whom he held close to his heart.



A dedicated and hardworking individual, Stanley spent his career as a snack
bar operator for the State of New Jersey. Beyond his professional work,
Stanley gave generously of his time to volunteer causes dear to him. He
proudly served with the Trenton Rescue Squad, Signal 22, the Contact
Emergency Hotline, and the National Federation of the Blind, always
striving to make a difference in the lives of those in need.



Stanley’s kindness, humor, and unwavering dedication to family and
community will be deeply missed by all who knew him. His memory will live
on through the countless lives he touched, the stories he told, and the
love he gave so freely.



Relatives and friends are invited to visit with the family on Thursday May
1st, 2025 from 10AM-12PM, followed by his service at 12pm at Bordentown
Home for Funerals, 40 Crosswicks St., Bordentown, NJ 08505. Entombment to
follow at Our Lady of Lourdes Cemetery, Trenton. In lieu of flowers, the
family asks that donations can be made to SIGNAL 22 Canteen Unit, 1005
S. Clinton Ave., Trenton, NJ 08611. These contributions are in honor of his
lifelong commitment to helping others.




Warmly,
Linda Melendez, President
