Stella was such a profound regular at our local Walgreens in Wappingers and we were all really blessed to know her as a person. She was always so kind and she told the most amazing stories of her childhood memories with all of us and we loved every interaction with her. We are so deeply saddened by this incredible loss. To know her was a blessing rest in peace beautiful Angel and thank you for kindness and warm laughs.
I loved having Stella join us for Christmas dinners along with my mom throughout the years. We all enjoyed listening to her stories of her life's experiences. Her love, faith and devotion were uplifting to all of us. I enjoyed taking Stella and my mom Mary to stations of the cross for many years during Lent and pizza dinners afterwards with our golden retriever Teddy, whom she adored.
Rest in peace dear Stella.
Stella was a good friend to my mom, Mary. They attended St.Mary's mass together for many years.
In loving memory of Stella, who found strength and comfort in prayer and the sacraments. May her journey to eternal life be joyful and filled with the peace of Christ.
RIP Stella
