In the early morning of June 23rd, Mom passed away peacefully in presence of her children at St. Boniface Hospital, at the age of 97. She leaves to cherish her memory her son Lloyd Sciberras and his daughter Tamara Sciberras, daughter Brenda Sciberras (Dave Elias) and her three daughters, Rheanna Marshall Olson (Robert), Jessica Hale (Matthew), Alyssa Scott (Desmond); 7 great-grandchildren, Alex and Kaden Hale, Marnie, Corbin and Everett Scott and Norah and Charlotte Olson. Also mourning her loss are her sisters, Anne Faykes and Sonya Meneer (Wayne), brother Jack Prokipchuk, sister-in-law Irene Prokipchuk, brother-in-law Charles Sciberras and sister-in-law Janet Sciberras. She also leaves many nieces and nephews and dear friends.

Stella was predeceased by her husband Fredric in 2009, her parents Lena and Dmytro Prokipchuk, her brothers, Bill, Vincent, Walter and John. Stella was born in Teulon, MB on June 1st, 1926, and grew up in Vita, MB. When she first came to the city she worked at Canada Packers and then Canada Safeway, retiring in 1986 after 33 years. Mom and Dad were married 47 years before his passing and together they built their country home outside of Dugald, MB in 1963. Mom spent the last 10 years living independently on the 3rd floor of the Kildonan Green apartments. Stella was quick to make friends and truly enjoyed their company.
