Remaining to forever cherish Stella's memory are her husband Daniel after 39 years of marriage; son Darren (Michelle) and children Krystyna and Kaelyn of Calgary, AB; daughter Tanya (Ralph) Rolston and daughter Ella of Calgary, AB and daughter Natalie (Chris) Daly and children, Christian, Anthony and Avery of Winnipeg, MB, as well as her sisters Monica McBride and Elizabeth Letwin and numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. She was predeceased by her daughter Caroline, brother Patrick and parents Jack and Mary. Stella was born in Ireland, trained in England as a registered nurse and came to Canada in 1968. She worked in Winnipeg at various hospitals, for over 25 years at the Victorian Order of Nurses and the community of Pine Falls Home Care District (where she retired from nursing). Her interests were many and varied including golf, curling, gardening, walking, cards and traveling (and for the past four winters spent happily in Mexico). Prayers will be celebrated on Wednesday, April 9, 2008 at 2:00 pm in the St. Michael's Church, Eighth Avenue and Pine Road, Victoria Beach with Fr. James Gray presiding. Special thanks to all staff at the Health Sciences Centre. In lieu of flowers, donations in Stella's memory may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, 193 Sherbrook Street, Winnipeg, MB R3C 2B7. Stella ensured time spent with all her grandchildren was memorable for each of them and although her life has gone her love will linger on; she brought us sunshine, she brought us love ....

My Nana was such an insperation and I miss her. She never beat around the bush and was always honest, she never failed to make me smile and she had the kindest heart a person could have. - Posted by: Kaelyn (Granddaughter) on: Sep 19, 2014

In my brief encounter with Stella as her physician, she showed me how to accept God's will with grace and fortitude. My very best to her wonderful family. - Posted by: Hani El-Gabalawy (Acquaintance) on: Apr 09, 2008
