Earl Stine Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Earl Stine of Leo, Indiana, born in Aitkin, Minnesota, who passed away on February 1, 2026, at the age of 89, leaving to mourn family and friends. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Earl Stine to pay them a last tribute.
In the soft embrace of remembrance, we recall the profound impact Earl had on those he encountered along his journey. Though Earl may have slipped beyond the veil of mortality, his essence lingers like a faint fragrance in the air, a lingering reminder of the beauty and complexity of the human experience.
He is survived by: his significant other Janice Swaters; his daughters, Trina DeRose (John) of Hoagland, Christa Brown of Fort Wayne, Terry Wieckowski (Dave) of Round Rock, TX, Wendy Stine of Mariposa, CA and Dawn Stine-Smith (Steve) of Auburn; his stepchildren, Sara Jo Berry (Suzanne) of Rome City and Michael Ernst (Kelly) of Auburn; and his sisters, Pearl Kacprowicz and Arlene Keffer. He is also survived by 12 grandchildren; 2 step-grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Earl's memory to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, online at http://www.stjude.org or by mail to 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis TN 38105.
