Stanley Kitzman was born June 14, 1923 in rural Upham, ND, to Alfred and Anna (Wahl) Kitzman. Stanley was raised in the Upham area where he attended rural school and was confirmed in Lutheran church there. He married his sweetheart Genevieve Herschlip on September 4, 1944 at Bethlehem Lutheran Church. Stanley and Genevieve made their home on their farm until retiring to Fargo in 1998. Along with farming, Stanley was involved in his community by serving on the boards of the Upham School, Russell Elevator, Pratt Township, and Bethlehem Church. Stanley's greatest joy in his life came from his family. Stanley and Genevieve raised three wonderful daughters who each hold a special place in their hearts. He raised them to help on the family farm and was overjoyed at the wonderful women they grew to be. Spending time with his grandchildren and great- grandchildren was one of his favorite pastimes. He and Genevieve would make every effort to attend every birthday party, sporting event and school activity to see them shine. Stanley loved farming his land, fishing, visiting with friends/family, and playing cards. His wonderful smile and contagious laughter could light up any room and he will be deeply missed by his family and friends. Funeral: Tuesday, March 3, 2009, at 11:00 a.m. at Bethlehem
