April 11, 2025

On Friday, April 11, 2025. Wife of the late Steven T. Bodnar; loving mother of Jeffrey (Anna) Bodnar and the late Michael R. Bodnar; Grandmother of Kelly (Casey Devlin) Bodnar and Lee (Kelsey) Bodnar; Great Grandmother of Sedona Devlin, Payson Bodnar, Ali Bodnar, and a precious little one on the way; sister of Gloria (late Edward) Schrader and the late Pauline (late Russell) Campalongo, Rose (late John) Toth, Jennifer (late William) Patterson, Mary (John survives) Vaccarello, and Louise (late Paul) Stephens; also survived by generations of nieces and nephews.

Stella was a proud mother of her two sons, she enjoyed spending her time at the Heidelberg Raceway and Pittsburgh Motor Speedway watching them race in their younger years and supporting their businesses as they grew. She was loving wife, who enjoyed weekend trips to NASCAR races with her husband Steve. Stella had a close-knit relationship with her grandkids was often playing jokes with them with her witty one-liners. She adored her great-grandchildren and was eagerly awaiting the arrival of the fourth great grandbaby. She was a social butterfly who loved interacting with her friends, family and sitting on the porch with her neighbors - if not with someone she'd be found on the phone keeping up with all the news. Stella was always a great time full of love and lots of laughter, she will be greatly missed but we will cherish the memories made.
