Stanley L. Mayer

May 14, 1928 - February 19, 2017

Stanley L. Mayer passed away peacefully the evening of February 19, 2017 at Valle Verde in Santa Barbara, California at the age of 88. Prior to his move to Valle Verde, Stanley had been a long-time resident of Carpinteria, California. He was born on May 14, 1928 to Harry and Beulah Mayer in Los Angeles, California, and grew up as an only child. His father was a medical doctor and his mother was a registered nurse. Stanley, being a devoted son with a strong faith, cared for his parents until their passing. Stanley attended UCLA, graduating in 1964 with a degree in accounting and was a lifetime member of the UCLA Alumni Association. He had been employed as a mail carrier by the U.S. Postal Service and later dabbled in real estate throughout Southern California. Although Stanley never married or had children, he had a love and passion for dogs, particularly his dog Grover. He also served as an active member of Faith Lutheran Church in Carpinteria and loved to garden. Stanley was a kind man with a calm demeanor and dry wit. He will be missed! Stanley is preceded in death by his parents Harry and Beulah Mayer and by his long-time friend, Hilda C. Anderson. Stanley is survived by his many friends, including the extended Schenker family. He is now at peace in heaven with his parents, Hilda, and of course, his dog Grover. A memorial service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 11th at Faith Lutheran Church, 1335 Vallecito Place (at Ogan Rd.) in Carpinteria, California. A reception in the church hall will follow the service.
