Stella D’Amario, 94, passed away peacefully on November 1, 2025. Stella was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She was preceded in death by her husband Steve, as well as her five siblings.
Stella loved taking care of her family. There were many Sunday dinners prepared and enjoyed in her home, often followed by delicious desserts and a game of cards. She and Steve were active members of Holy Family Church in Artesia, CA. They both cooked and served at Lenten suppers, while Stella used her sewing talents for various church pageants. In her later years you could find her playing her favorite game - bingo!
She is survived by her daughters Brenda (Dennis) Lupton; Rosemarie (Rick) Strader; grandchildren Jessica (Gabriel) Surface; Matthew Strader and three great grandchildren; Lilly, Delaney and Clayton Surface.
Services will be held at a later date in California, where she will be interned with her husband at All Souls Cemetery, Long Beach.
