Stella Sanza 1949-2018
See you later….mom, sister, grandma, aunt, friend.
On May 25, 2018, the family and friends of Stella will be changed forever, for this is the day that she earned her wings and joined the rest of her family and friends in heaven. She will meet up with her son Tony Huss, her mother Phyllis Sanza, her father Salvator Sanza, her step father Paul Schaller, brother Salvator Sanza II (wife Betsy), ex-husbands Robert Huss and David Donnelly, great nieces Christine Herrick, Joleen Herrick and great nephew George Herrick, Amber Herrick, and many other family and friends.
Stella leaves behind her children T. Gene Huss (wife Denise) and Angela Huss-Marvin (husband Joe). Her siblings David Sanza (wife Robin), Valerie Sanza and Fiance' Mike Blonsky, Kathy Burnett. Grand children Suzie Rivera (husband Eddie), Terrian Huss, Sarah Marvin (fience' Herman),Tony, niece Samantha Snyder (husband Brian). Nephews Steve Summers (wife Dawn), Gina Larkins (husband Aaron) nephew David (wife Jennifer), Salvator III, David Jr. (wife Ashley), niece Jennifer. Great grandchildren Savanna, Brayden, Gavin, Preston, Clayton, and Aaliyah. And many other nieces and nephews.
Stella can be described as the matriarch of the family as she is the glue who kept them together after the passing of her mom. She can also be described by some as a "hard ass" who took nothing from no one. She was there when you needed her and was ready to give you a reality check if you needed it. That is what the rest of those who new her saw her as.
For those of us that were lucky enough to know the real Stella, you knew that she loved everyone for who they were. She did not want you to pretend to be someone you're not; be who you are and don't make excuses.
For those of you who knew her well, she loved her family the most-they meant everything to her. She liked tigers, taking pictures, going "junking", shopping, watching crime shows, chilling with her cat Porky, being out of her "glad rags", taking pride in her work, working hard at work every day and being an independent person. She never depended on anyone.
For her family she was everything and will be missed each and every day. Our hearts broke on this day and will never be the same. It was to quick and not the right time, but when is the right time to have someone who means the world to you taken away? One more minute, one more hour, one more day, one more month, one more year…there is are enough time.
Each of us will remember Stella in our own way. Crying over her was something she was not comfortable with. So, as you grieve for her, have a Natural Light or a Vodka and Orange Juice and toast one of the greats. Take time to remember why she was important to you and why each of you were important to her. Remember, she will miss you also……
