It was with tremendous heart break that I heard of dear Stella's passing.
I first met Stella as a toddler in 1969 -a meeting that became one of the most profound influences in my life. As my mother grew ill and passed away, Stella was always there for my family with that wonderful smile and loving nature. She truly became a mother and a dear friend to me and my siblings. I have so many fond memories of "coffee runs" to the grocery store and the ever present smell of a fresh pot in the kitchen. The sounds of laughter between her and my grandmother at the kitchen table, and the unceasing love she had for everyone she met. She was a very special person and her memories will live on in my heart forever. As my children grow older, I look forward to telling them all the stories and memories I have of the kindest person I ever had the pleasure of knowing. You will be missed terribly.
My sincerest, heart felt condolences from my family to yours.
I happily share this picture of myself, my sister, and our kids visiting Stella.

Aunt Stella was possibly one of the nicest persons I have ever known. She was sweet and honest and giving. My memories of her go back to my childhood. Wonderful memories of Easter treats, stuffed cabbage at her table with piles of mashed potatoes, growing pansies out back, singing in the back yard on a summer night with her strumming the guitar. I truly believe she is now enjoying the company of her sisters, Margaret, Liz, Vi, Irene, Helen. Her brothers Joe and the family rock, John. She is surely in the company of her Rodger and Kathy and Barbara Ballo. All gathered around, coffee cup in hand. And of course her Pete. Our family is wonderful. I am grateful to know each and every member.

Stella was a lovely and gracious woman and it was always a pleasure to talk to her. We had some great conversations and I will always remember her as a very special lady.
My husband George and I send our deepest sympathy to all her family.

One of the most down to earth woman I ever met. Nothing bothered her and she loved everyone and was always there to listen.
She will be missed by all that knew and loved her her
