Her life was devoted to her family and her faith. Her amazing faith showed in her loving approach to life all those around her. She radiated God’s love to many.
We will all miss the many jars of pickles each fall, the potato meat, the applesauce, the German potato salad, and especially the pecan rolls each Christmas!

She had a special way of bringing love, friendship and laughter into many occasions. She will be greatly missed by all.

Dear Cousins, My deepest sympathy to you and your families on the loss of Aunt Stella. My memories of her are from many years ago in Mukwonago. She was to me, a young girl, a model of a strong, capable, beautiful woman who was also a wife and mother. May your memories bring you comfort.
