Obituary of Stella Mae C. Sellers

Beloved Sister, Wife, Mother, and Grand mom Stella Mae Sellers, 72, passed away on Sunday, FEB 10, 2019 at home with family in Aho, NC. Born on DEC 16, 1946 in Boone, NC, she was daughter of the late Rom M. Cook and the late Lona Z. Rupard of Bamboo, NC. Stella and George (husband of 51 years), came together in 1965 by meeting through the Storie family of Aho, NC, and made a lifetime of memories in Key West, FL where they continued the family fishing business. She dedicated life and spirit to homemaking and the raising of their two sons. She loved cooking, supporting her sons activities, church, and creating everlasting friendships. After retiring to her mountain homeland, she continued to enjoy old westerns, NASCAR, and especially, fishing with her grandsons and attending their sporting events. All those who knew her will remember her loving heart, pleasant smile, beautiful green eyes, and her sense of style. Cancer may have taken her from us entirely too soon, but we will also remember her strength and determination as a mean, mean, fighting machine. The Sellers family would like to thank the caring staff of Seby Jones Cancer Center for extending our time with her. Stella is survived by husband George M. Sellers; brother Olen F. Cook of Bamboo, NC; sister Carolyn L. Svedelius of Oak Ridge, NC; sons George M. Sellers, Jr. and Justin H. Sellers (Lori), both of Charlotte, NC; grandsons Landon and Logan; and her many loving cousins, nieces, and nephews. A private ceremony was held at the Critcher Family Cemetery (Bamboo Rd) on Saturday, February 16, 2019.
