Stella was a very caring women who always wore her heart on her sleeve. She was a very loving mother and grandmother, and it showed when it came to her grandson Jordin because she loved that kid more than life itself, she always said that Jordin was her consintego which basically means her heart. Stella would go to the ends of the earth for her little Pooh bear, he was her first-born grandson and the joy of her life she was so proud of him, and she let it be known. Stella was a busy body, she loved doing arts and crafts and fixing things that were broken, I don’t think there was anything that she could not fix. She was always doing favors for her family and friends and if you were every hungry you can count on Stella’s door to be open, she loved to cook and feed those in need just like her mother Mary. Stella could always put a smile on your face and always believed that laughter was medicine for the soul and a sure way to stay young at heart. She had a laugh that was contagious for sure and a smile that could Brighton any room. She will be forever missed and forever loved and never forgotten.
