Stella achieved many accomplishments in her life; a devoted wife & mother, a hard working woman who touched so many lives. Some families with whom she was employed said this of her: “No one could ever replace Stella”. Another accomplishment she achieved; she attended Abbeville Beauty Academy and became a Cosmetologist. She worked for J.C. Penny Hair Salon in Lafayette for many years as an accomplished Hair Stylist.
Stella would tell you of her greatest ultimate accomplishment is when she began a careful study of the Bible in her home with her husband Joe. Their studies of the Scriptures transformed their lives; they became baptized as Jehovah’s Witnesses in 1973. She used every opportunity to tell others about the Mighty God Jehovah and the wonderful promises recorded in his written word the Holy Bible. She remained faithful to Jehovah until her death. For 51 years she continued to teach others about the Good News of God’s Kingdom which Jesus taught his faithful followers to pray for in the Lord’s Prayer at Matthew 6:9,10.
Funeral services will be held at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses at 9928 US Hwy. 167. Viewing will begin at 11:00am - 12:00pm. Services will begin at 12 noon. Flowers can be sent to the Kingdom Hall starting at 10:00am.
