The Bakersfield Californian 
Stella Mary Diaz
Sept. 2, 1929 - Feb. 17, 2005

A Mass will be held Tuesday, February 22, 2005, at 1:00 p.m., at St. Francis 
Catholic Church, 900 H Street with graveside services to follow immediately 
after Mass at Greenlawn Memorial Park & Mortuary on River Blvd. Stella Diaz 
was taken from her family on Thursday, February 17, 2005. 

Stella was a resident of Bakersfeld for 75 years and was preceded by her 
husband, James M. Diaz Sr. who passed away on March 10, 2004.

Stellas passion was her devotion to her husband and family of eight children. 
She dedicated her efforts to providing a nurturing home which included a deep 
devotion to God and The Lady of Guadalupe.

Stella was first and foremost wife and mother. Her love extended to her 
grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She will be remembered for her 
patience, smile, love of life and unconditional love for all those that 
entered her home.

She joins those who went before her: her grandson, Chrsitopher Paul Cervantes; 
her husband, James M. Diaz Sr.; her son-in-law, Pat McFaddin and 
granddaughter, Jenny Cervantes. She is survived by her daughters, Shirley 
Cervantes and Christina McFaddin; her sons, James M. Diaz Jr., Louis Diaz, 
Stephen Diaz, Lawrence Diaz, Gregory Diaz, Anthony Diaz; six daughters-in-law 
and one son-in-law; her 27 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren and 
numerous friends and relatives.

Her sons will serve as pallbearers to take Stella to her final resting place.

Our mother, our grandmother, our great-grandmother left foot prints on our 
hearts and we are thankful that we will never be the same---we will be better.

Visitation begins Monday, February 21, 2005 from 3:00 9:00 p.m., at Greenlawn 
Memorial Park & Mortuary, 3700 River Blvd.
