Richard "Dick" J. Stevens

Richard J. "Dick" Stevens, age 92, of Marion, Indiana, passed away on July 10, 2026. Born on June 22, 1934, to the late Jerome and Margaret Stevens, Dick led a life rich in service, love, and community. He is survived by his devoted wife, Ruth Washler Domes, whom he married on February 8, 1992.

Dick proudly graduated from Remington High School in 1952 before earning his Bachelor's Degree in Pharmacy from Purdue University. His professional life spanned over six decades as a dedicated pharmacist, most notably serving the VA Northern Indiana Health Care System while also contributing to various community pharmacies. His commitment to medicine was matched only by his passion for helping others and serving his community.

A faithful member of Faith Harvest Church, Dick was deeply involved in church life, serving as the chair and member of the Pastor/Parish Committee for many years. His commitment to the Indiana United Methodist Church was evident through his role as a delegate at the annual conference and his time spent on the administrative council. He was a beloved member of the Winsome Sunday School Class and served as an usher for many worship services, always bringing his warm character and gentle spirit to every role he embraced. He also was a member of Remington, Kentland and Wabash Presbyterian Church.

Outside the church and pharmacy, Dick's community involvement led him to become a life member of Fountain Park Chautauqua in Remington, where he served on the administrative board. His engagement with the Masonic Lodge as a 32nd degree Mason and membership in the United Methodist Men and the Indiana Pharmaceutical Society illustrated his dedication to fellowship and brotherhood.

In his younger years, Dick found joy in remodeling and driving stock cars and motorcycles - a reflection of his adventurous spirit. His love for sports was evident in his unwavering support for the Chicago Cubs, Purdue football and basketball, and IU football and basketball teams, often filling his home with the joyful sounds of cheering.

Dick is survived by his wife, Ruth; their children, Jerome "Jerry" Stevens, Mary Elaine (Brett) Donaldson, Richard "Rick" (Alicia) Stevens, Michael Stevens, Brian Stevens, Walter Domes, and Andrew Domes; sister, Peggie Bell; grandchildren, Tyler Stevens, Megan (Tim Polsean) Stevens , Ryan (Haley) Donaldson, Cory (Renee) Donaldson, Emily (Joe) Murphy, Jacob Stevens, Ashley (Jake) McAlister, and Erin Cole; great-grandchildren, Aurora McAlister, Adaline McAlister, Averi Donaldson, Tucker Donaldson Weston Donaldson, Theodore Stevens, Margaret Murphy, Macy Murphy and another great-grandchild expected in February.
