Stella Margaret was born June 21, 1929
in Sherwood to John & Stella (Warkoczeski) Diamond. She married the love of
her life, Charles Hensley on August 2, 1952. Together they worked, played &
laughed for 42 wonderful years. He preceded her in death in 1994.
After her family sold the family farm,
Stella started her career in Coldwater at the Bluebird Hotel. She worked for 24
1⁄2 years at Federal Mogul without missing a single day. When the company
closed, she worked in Quincy at Acorn until her retirement in 1984. She made
many friends along the way.
Stella made friends wherever she went.
She frequented many restaurants around town, even though she was a fantastic
cook. She was an active member of St Charles Borromeo Church where she belonged
to the 50+ Group and the Ladies Guild. She was always thinking of others and
loved to make people laugh with her quick wit and many stories. Her humor,
smile and peanut butter fudge will be missed by many.
Survivors include her niece, Harriet
Bronson, and nephew, Robert Francisco. Her great niece (& friend) Joanette
Francisco, many great nieces and nephews Maria, Debbie, David, Chad, Jason,
Kelly, Lisa, Jessica, Kenneth, McKenzee, Caleb & Collins, brother in-law
and sister in-law Don and Diane Hensley, her friends Kelly Tackett, Adelle
Neitzert and Sheri Rogers.
She was preceded in death by her
husband, parents, sister, Era Diamond and 3 brothers, Harold Francisco, Florian
Francisco & Edwin Diamond and her nephew, Pete Francisco.
A special thanks to all of
the staff and friends at Masonville Place. Thank you to Dutcher Funeral Home
