Stella Savard, resident of Horse Lake First Nation, passed away on Thursday, December 31, 2015, at Grande Prairie, AB, at the age of 66 years.

She was born in Rio Grande on March 7, 1949. She was raised in Horse Lake and moved to Wembley, Grande Cache, Grande Prairie, and then settled in Horse Lake where she raised her kids and grandkids.

Stella would open her home to anyone. She was the Princess of all her sisters. She loved bingo, travelling, cooking, shopping and baking. She took care of anyone, always had a house full of people, and was always raising kids. She cooked for every holiday, and noon was when it would be done. She didn’t like people arguing or fighting.

She will be sadly missed by her husband Fred, children: Dale (Dorothy), Pam (Paul), Elaine (Walter), Jake (Joleen), Theresa (Gerald) and Elena (Jeremy); siblings: Linda, Ernest, Donald, Harley (Vandy), Darrel (Sarah), Bev (Norm), Sylvia (Albert), Aaron (Brenda), Wade (Lenora) and Rene as well as numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews, all her bingo buddies, and friends.

She was predeceased by her mom Nellie, her grandparents Caroline and Narcisse; step-dad Raymond; brothers Hoss and Blair; grandchildren Shane, Vanessa and Shae; great-granddaughter Dylan; nieces and nephews Jazmine, Darrel Jr., Darwell and Miranda; and son Dion.
