I met Stella , & her Husband Grant nearly 50 years ago. From that first meeting, each & every time I saw her she was always her same sweet, gracious, humble & devout self.
She loved her Church, & was able to see her dream of establishing a Greek Orthodox Church in Lancaster become a reality.

 She will be missed by all who were lucky enough to know her.

May she be granted thy Heavenly Kingdom and the enjoyment of unending life , and may her memory be eternal.

We have lost our beloved matriarch of Saints Constantine and Helen. She loved her church and the Philoptochos Ladies with all her heart. She worked   tirelessly  to support each and everyone of the Philanthropic causes that Philoptochos (Friends of the poor) supported. Stella was such a wonderful lady and beautiful soul. May her memory be eternal. 

Stella was a such a very  special person to all. She was a wonderful woman with a huge heart who always gave to the church. Every time I would say hi to her in church she’d say “How’s my boy?” in reference to Thomas.  She always made us feel special and made us smile.  She will always be remembered as she touched so many of our lives with generosity, her great sense of humor and love. 
May her memory be eternal. 

Stella was such a kind hearted sweet soul. Always in church and always happy to see you. She will be greatly missed. 

I am so thankful to have known Stella through church.  She was such a wonderful and caring person that always asked how you were doing. She really cared for all people.  She loved everyone, was kind, was devoted to God, and loved our church. She was one of a kind.   We are all better for knowing her. May her memory be eternal.
