Stella joined Boynton Chapel United Methodist Church under the leadership of Rev. Elmer T. Albudy. Here she worked with the Communion Stewards and the United Methodist Women, having served in a number of capacities and participated in many other activities that she got great joy from. She would remain a faithful member until her illness prevented her from attending Church.

Stella started her 40+ years of teaching at Tidehaven Elementary School, Matagorda County. After leaving Tidehaven she started teaching at Charles R. Drew Elementary School. From there she would further her career with the Houston Independent School District, teaching at Burrus Elementary School. She then began her long teaching career in the Fort Bend Independent School District, first at Kempner High School and then Missouri City Junior High.

She would retire from Holland Middle School on December 19, 2007.

She left her earthly home just the way she wanted, on Sunday, February 25, 2008 at 7:29 p. m. after a long and courageous battle with cancer, surrounded by family and friends with lots of singing and praying. She has now joined her father, mother and six brothers.
