Stella graduated from LaCrosse High School and attended Wichita Business College.  She was a bookkeeper and ~always balanced the books and cash drawer to the penny. Stella was housekeeper for her uncle, Monsignor Herrman, until her marriage to Raymond J. Miller on August 29, 1970. Rain or shine, they went dancing every Wednesday night and Sunday afternoon. 

Stella enjoyed cards with her friends and painting. She always attended the family reunion and lovingly greeted her nieces and nephews with a kiss and let them know they were special.

Stella was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, the Altar Society and Pansy Club.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Raymond; parents and siblings: Matilda Schmidt/Leiker, Bartol, Frank, Adolph, Cecelia Sanders, Reinhold, Agnes Klaus, John, Walter, Mary Barnes, Isabella Schuckman, Geneva Champlin, and infants Adam, Georgianna, and Peter. 

Stella is survived by Jim (Karyl Ann) Miller, Carol (Bob) Stauth, two grandchildren and four great grandchildren, numerous nieces, nephews, grand nieces and grand nephews. She will be dearly missed by her loved ones. Stella bid us her fond goodbye “I love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around your neck.”
