Phoebe Jane (Martin) Stahl

Today we celebrate a life well lived and remember a special lady with a beautiful sense of humor like no other.

Phoebe Jane Stahl, age 99, passed away on Friday, December 27, 2019 in Salem, Ohio, the result of dementia.

She was born May 4, 1920 in Mineral Point, Pennsylvania, into a family of five sisters and three brothers, to William J. and Hattie May (Rose) Martin.

A lifelong resident of Alliance, Jane was a member of the United Methodist Church for over 50 years.
