Stefania State Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Pilar Funeral Home - Garland on Mar. 29, 2026.
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Stefania State, a beloved mother, grandmother, and educator, who left us peacefully on March 28th, 2026, at the age of 88. Born on February 18th, 1938 in Romania, Stefania lived a life full of love, dedication, and service to her family and community.
Stefania was a cherished educator in Romania, where she devoted 35 years of her life to shaping young minds as a high school teacher and serving as a chief secretary. Her commitment to education and her students was unparalleled, and she left an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Stefania is survived by her loving daughter Dominique, her devoted son-in-law Stefan, and her three treasured grandchildren, Andrew, Ashley, and Matthew. Her family was her pride and joy, and she took immense pleasure in watching her grandchildren grow and thrive.
Stefania's legacy is one of kindness, wisdom, and unwavering dedication to those she loved. Her warmth and generosity touched the lives of many, and her memory will forever be cherished by her family, friends, and former students.
Stefania State will be deeply missed, but her spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. May she rest in peace.
