Stella Mary Zulinick

Stella was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and was raised on the farm with her parents and siblings. She went to Dinelle School until Grade 9 then attended the convent in Prud’homme for one year. Coming from a large family of 8 children meant never being lonely or being without something to do. As a young woman, she worked in various places, such as Eaton’s Countertop Restaurant, University Hospital and Safeway. She also worked at the Café in the Baldwin Hotel where she met her loving husband Orest. They married in 1961 and settled in Saskatoon where together they raised their children. In 2001, Orest and Stella moved to Calgary, Alberta.

Stella was predeceased by her husband, Orest in 2019. She leaves to mourn her five children and their families; Charlene (Tony) Hardy (Jordan, Katrina and Brittany) of Airdrie, AB; Barbara (Greg) Heidt (Alyssa and Matthew) of Saskatoon, SK; Rodney (Michele) Zulinick (Joey) of Calgary, AB; Tammy Walker (Colton) of Calgary, AB; and Mark (Kelly) Zulinick of Calgary, AB. Stella also leaves to mourn her brother and sisters, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, cousins, and cherished close friends.

The family would like to thank the staff at the Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary for making Stella’s last days comfortable and respectful.
