STEPHANIA
(STELLA) BARAN
May 31,
1909 – April 25, 2013
Stella Baran died peacefully on
Thursday, April 25, 2013, one month shy of celebrating her 104th
birthday. She was born in Jaroslaw,
Poland and was married to Frank Baran from 1925 until his death in 1985.
Stella followed Frank to Manitoba in
1929, settling on a farm in West St. Paul where she lived until 1986 before
moving to St. James. Proudly
independent, she lived in her own apartment until this past November. She leaves two children, Nettie Kowbel
(Henry, deceased) and Walter (Irene and grandson Dennis, deceased), 8
grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren, and 3 great great grandchildren. A true matriarch, family – and feeding them –
was the centerpiece of Stella’s life.
She was passionate in creating and sharing her crochet and needlework masterpieces. We will
always remember her sympathetic ear, her kindness and generosity as we
celebrate the influence she had on all of us.
Flowers are gratefully
declined. Donations in Stella’s memory
to Deer Lodge PRIME (2109 Portage Ave, Winnipeg MB, R3J 0L3) would be
appreciated.
Stella’s life will be celebrated on
Wednesday, May 1, 2013 with Eulogy at 9:45 a.m., followed by Funeral Liturgy,
at St. Paul The Apostle Roman Catholic Church, 2400 Portage Ave. with Rev. Fr.
José Eduardo Medieros presiding.
Inurnment will follow in Holy Ghost Roman Catholic Cemetery, 4387 Main
Street.
