On Monday, March 14, 2016, in the city of Orange, California Stella-Maie Ariowa Ogbebor went home to be with the Lord at the age of four. Stella was born to Efehi and Kathleen (Benoit) Ogbebor on Tuesday, February 21, 2012 in Ontario, California. She started the Apple Valley Early Education Center mid-2015 and loved everything about it! Although she was only in school for a short time, she managed to show drastic improvements especially in her speech, she made friends easily and found a way to touch all who came in contact with her. Stella will be missed by her family, but most of all her sisters, Jordan-Elizabeth and Aaleyah-Grace who is her twin sister and partner in crime.
Stella’s home going ceremony will be held at Sunset Hills Memorial Park & Mortuary located at 24000 Waalew Road, Apple Valley, CA 92307. A viewing will take place between 10am and 11am with the service beginning at 11am. The Repast is immediately following at the family’s home.
