Stella started life in North Dakota on a farm in Selz. She was first in family to graduate high school then taught children in a one room school house. Then she moved to Minneapolis and became a telephone operator back in the day when she would connect a phone call by plugging a wire from one hole on a board to another hole. She retired from the phone company when everyone had a cell phone. She will be remembered for her kind attention when listening to other people and enjoying their life stories. She traveled, read and was a very good cook. She loved her grandchildren and listening to their lives.
