I thought I recognized that beautiful smile. Stella was always smiling. My thoughts, memories and prayers are with Stella’s family and our old school mates.
Our memories of Stella center around the family reunions at the beach…..which she loved very much from her childhood experiences. She was always involved in their preparations and loved to gather with all the family members to visit and catch up on all the latest happenings. She was always fun to be around…..smiling, joking, poking fun, consoling, giving advice or just providing a receptive ear.
Stella will be greatly missed…..we join all who celebrate her life and look forward to our “reunion” in heaven.
Stella was a very dear lifelong friend of my wife, Betsy. She was always supportive of our family and a true friend of all the family. I’ll always have fond memories of her. May God bless and bring comfort to Richard and her family in this difficult time.
Saddened to hear of Mrs. Stella’s passing. Clay and I were best friends back in the day and I spent many days over at their home. Prayers for peace and comfort for the family.
I am sorry to read about Stella’s passing. May she Rest In Peace and may the Peace of
Christ be with her family.
I am so sorry to hear about Stella passing. I worked with her at GSU many years and after the merger we kind of lost track. Prayers for her family and friends and I know she will be missed.

I was so sorry to hear of Stella passing, she was our secretary for GSU retiree group for many years and kept us together. I also worked with her for years, she will be greatly missed. Thoughts and prayers for family.
May God grant Stella salvation and an eternal life as a member of the family of GOD, in Heaven. Stella was a classmate at St. Anthony HS, class of 1959. She was a caring person, outgoing and fun to be around. For several years we had quarterly get to gathers, and Stella was always there and doing whatever she could to contact others to attend.
May GOD grant you salvation and an eternal life, as a member of the family of GOD, in Heaven.
