Elbert (Stanley) Ausburn, age 73, departed this life on March 3, 2026. He was surrounded by family as he peacefully transitioned to his eternal home. Stanley is preceded in death by
his wife, Ruth Ann Ausburn, Parents Margaret Irene Evans and John Junior Ausburn, grandparents Stella Ausburn and Elmer Ausburn, siblings James Ausburn, Brother in laws Buddy Presswood, Rufus Presswood, and LeeRoy Presswood.

Stanley was known as a master mechanic and was the owner of Ausburn Transmission until he retired. He was a member of Emory Gap Independent Church of God. He loved fishing and hunting and spending time with his family. Especially his son, CJ. Stanley fathered many children, even though he wasn’t their biological father. He made each of them feel special, and loved them unconditionally, without judgement. Stanley was a jokester. He always had a prank up his sleeve, or a joke to tell. He definitely loved life and made the best of it. He will surely be missed, but we have the comfort knowing he’s rejoicing around the Throne and enjoying Jesus.

Stanley leaves behind Ruby,
Son and daughter in law, CJ and Hailee Ausburn,
Grandson River Ausburn,
Sister Diane Peyton,
Brother Jack Ausburn,
Sister in laws Janice Mullins and Cathy Cofer,
a host of nieces and nephews, Brandon, Cheyenne, Maleah, Asia, and all his “other children” and friends
