Joseph Aloysius Stoll was born Dec. 7, 1929, at Hospers, IA to Simon and Anastasia (Schiller) Stoll. He married Shirley Pottebaum on Jan. 3, 1953 at St. Mary’s church in Remsen, IA and spent the next two years serving his country with the United States Army. Upon returning to Iowa after his service, he worked for a farmer near Sutherland, IA for one season and then worked at Sheldon’s bean mill until starting to farm east of Primghar. He entered the Prairie View Campus on Feb. 1, 2021 after suffering a stroke and remained there until his death.

He is survived by his wife Shirley of 69 years, his son David (Teresa ) Stoll of Linn Grove, IA and his daughters, Rosanne ( Loni) Loucks of Cherokee, IA, Linda (Emmet) Berg of Storm Lake, IA, Dot Stoll of Yankton, SD, Karen (Steve) Lind of Marathon, IA, Mary Jane (Tim) Jarmin of Kearney, NE, Kathy (Duane) Lansink of Sioux Rapids, IA, 18 Grandchildren and 31 Great Grandchildren, brother Charles Stoll and special friend Elaine Heath of Omaha, NE, 3 Sisters, Mary Ann (Clarence) Wellik of Forest City, IA, Dolores (Bernie) Kuttner of Stewart, MN, Sister Dorothy Stoll, Dubuque, IA and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents Simon and Anastasia Stoll and son Mike Stoll, 1 brother John and his wife Jeanette Stoll, 5 sisters, Margaret and her husband Pete Robinet, Agnes and her husband Bob Bodenhamer, Rosie, and her husband Dan Falsetto, Cele and her husband Francis Rupp, and Irene Stoll. He was a member of St. Joseph Parish, O’Brien County and belonged to the Knights of Columbus. Joe enjoyed attending farm sales both land and machinery. He kept up with that until 2020 when COVID limited his outings. He loved to have coffee with friends and neighbors and was always ready for a party. His birthdays were the highlight of his year every year and though he was hospitalized for pneumonia in November 2019, did get to enjoy his 90th birthday party with many friends and family on December 7, 2019. His 92nd birthday was a card shower, but he did enjoy having lots of cards read to him.
