Stanley Roth Larkins, age 90, of Burns, TN, passed away peacefully at his home Sunday, August 21, 2022.

Born December 3, 1931, he was the son of the late Hubert Stanley and Lena Roth Larkins of Dickson, TN. Stanley was a graduate of Dickson High School and then attended Tennessee Polytech Institute (now Tennessee Tech University), where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering. He spent most of his career working as a field engineer at Oak Ridge National Laboratories. Stanley loved his work and the many hobbies that filled his time. He loved collecting and organizing just about anything from newspapers to videos to golf balls to the Watts Bar Lake water levels. He also enjoyed researching genealogy, watching sports, and interacting with people. But his greatest love was his wife of 69 years, Jo Ann, who he loved and adored. Together they raised their family in Kingston, TN, where they resided for 55 years before returning to Burns in 2015.

In addition to his parents, Stanley is preceded in death by his sister, Louise Larkins Hutcheson, his nephew Gary Hutcheson, and his grandson, Nathan Thomas Larkins.

Stanley is survived by his wife of 69 years, Jo Ann Watson Larkins; his sons, Bruce Thomas Larkins of Chattanooga and Steven Roth Larkins of Johnson City, TN. Also surviving are his 4 grandchildren, Daniel Scott Larkins, Arthur James Larkins, Sarah Elizabeth Roth Larkins, and David Stanley Roth Larkins, and his six great-grandchildren, Kayden James Larkins, Kaylee Nicole Larkins, Julianah Kate Larkins, Jonah Dale Moss, Zoey Elizabeth Turner, and Emma Serenity Larkins. Stanley is also survived by two nieces, Patricia Hutcheson Barrow and Debbie Collins; three nephews, Brooks Duke, Randy (Drake) Duke, and Brad Duke; and great nieces and nephews Charlotte Collins Davis, Jessica Barrow Colón, Rebekah Duke (Crockett), Katie Duke Scruggs, Daniel Duke, Andrew Toombs, Jody Duke, and Evan Neal.
