Morris. She departed this life on April 15, 2023 at the age of 74. After the death of

her mother, she was reared in Varnado by the late Jesse and Lola Sheridan Peters.

L. Owens and Rev. Dr. Linza R. Cotton. Stella was a faithful member of the Sr. Choir, Usher

and was a special, loving person to all that she met. We will always treasure her beautiful smile,

which was a permanent part of her personality. When Stella could no longer care for herself,

she was blessed by Shelia Brown, with whom she was reared, who came and moved her to be

cared for by Lucinda Roberts until her death.
