Stella enjoyed cooking and baking especially for the holidays, playing euchre and listening to country music. A lifelong Tigers and Red Wings fan she tried not to miss a game on TV. She had a good memory and quick sense of humor and loved telling stories especially about her early life in New Brunswick. She will be fondly remembered by many including her long time Physician Dr. Frank Demarco who always made her smile when he called her "Stella by Starlight" how appropriate as she loved angels.
