What a sweet lady, I always stopped at her door to say hello when visiting my mommy. Would tell her I was Ashley’s mother in law to be. She would say Ashley is one of mine and I know you too! Prayers for the family I know she will be missed.
I loved this lady for 43 years. She always told everyone I was her daughter not her daughter-in-law If she loved you, you knew it, if she was mad at you, you knew it. She was a rascal with an amazing heart. I will miss her , her grandchildren will miss her, Her great grandchildren will miss her, family and friends but mostly her three sons will miss her.
Love & hugs spread your wings Bea you will be missed R.I.P
My heart is aching for you three boys. Please remember all the memories you have of your mom. She is up there with your dad and haqppy. No more pain. RIP Mrs. Barnes.
You all are in our thoughts and prayers and we know she is so much better off. We love you all.
Hang strong.
Being around Stella you could feel the love, she had for her sons, family and people in general. What a beautiful soul. I’m glad I was able to be a small part of her journey. She will be missed.
I took care of Stella when I worked at Meadow Lakes in Mooresville. I loved her and her family. Her sons were her world. I came to be very close to her and her family. When I told her I was moving back to Ky she wanted to leave and come with me. She was a sweetheart.

I took care of Stella when I worked at Meadow Lakes. I always tried to go to her room when I had a few mins to chat. Loved talking to her, such a sweet lady! Prayers for her family
Stella was a resident of mine when I worked at Meadow lakes and I would just sit in there and talk to her for what felt like hours. She’d talk about her sons and always offered to give me pop, lol. You’ll be forever missed sweet stella. Prayers to family.
