June 6, 1953 ? June 30, 2019
Stella Marie Bass was born June 6, 1953 to Madeline and Peter Conom.
Stella lived in the Magnolia neighborhood in Seattle her entire life. When Stella was 15 years old, attending Queen Anne High School, she met the love of her life Steve Bass. They married in 1972.
Stella worked at Nordstrom and Frederick and Nelson until her sons Brian and Andy arrived. Stella went back to school and graduated from the University of Washington and received her Master's in Education from Seattle University. She loved teaching and spent many years at Washington Middle School.
Stella was very proud of her Greek Orthodox faith and culture. She was a member of the Daughters of Penelope and Philoptochos at the Greek Orthodox Church of Assumption.
Stella was passionate about family, especially spending time with her four grandchildren. She enjoyed holidays and family birthdays that always highlighted her Greek cooking skills.
