Penny Kathleen Stadler (nee Aiello)

Penny Kathleen Stadler, age 86, of Maplewood, Minnesota passed away peacefully yet unexpectedly on Thursday, November 12, 2026.

She is preceded in death by husband, Walter "Red" Stadler Jr.; and parents, Arthur and Lillian (nee Kvidera). Survived by son, Jeffrey (Stephanie); daughter, Anne Marie Bradley; grandchildren, Jenny, Kimberly, Angie, Benjamin, and Alexander; 13 great-grandchildren; sister, Pat Brakenridge; and other loving family and friends.

Penny was deeply devoted to her family, always cherishing her time at the cabin and the company of her dogs. She loved visiting friends, and she was warm and welcoming to anyone she met. A bookworm at heart, she enjoyed reading and solving word‑find puzzles, and she was often the last to leave but also the last to arrive. She will be deeply missed by all.

Final resting place Fort Snelling National Cemetery, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
