Stella was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on July 7, 1935 and raised in Transcona. She met her husband Giuseppe (Joe) when she was twenty years old and was married for 64 years prior to his passing in 2019.

Stella was a quiet and friendly person who always had a big smile for everyone. Family was the most important thing to Stella. She enjoyed flower gardening, playing cards, and loved music, dancing, shopping and going to the casino. Stella and Joe loved to travel and looked forward to their trips to Jamaica with Brenda and Richard where they made many friends. For many years Stella and Joe spent their winters in Scottsdale, Arizona enjoying the warm weather and dinners and visits with Stella’s cousin Carol and husband George.

Stella and Joe moved to Calgary in 2004 to be closer to family. They resided in the community of Rocky Ridge where they developed many new friendships and memories. Following Joe’s passing Stella moved into the Manor House at Rocky Ridge. 

Stella is lovingly remembered by her daughter Brenda and son-in-law Richard Thompson, grandson Joey (Jordi) Thompson, granddaughter Stephanie Thompson, and great-grandchildren Luke and Hannah Thompson. Stella is also survived by her sister Mary (Mike) Kyluk, as well as nieces Linda and Donna.
