Mary Estella Ramirez, affectionately known as "Stella," departed from this world peacefully at her home on January 7, 2026, at the age of 71. She leaves behind a legacy filled with laughter, love, and light that will forever resonate in the hearts of those who knew her.

Stella was renowned for her infectious laugh and boundless energy; she had a rare gift for illuminating every space she occupied. Her quick wit and carefree spirit consistently brought joy to the lives of many around her.

Auntie to her loved ones, Stella's nurturing spirit and unwavering support made her a true mother figure to her "Johnny," nephews, and nieces. While she may not have given birth to their children, her love and dedication were as profound as any mother’s.

Our dearest Stella will hold a special place in our hearts forever. As we remember her vibrant spirit and the joy she brought into our lives, we celebrate the beautiful impact she had on all of us.
