"Stina" had many passions and enjoyed gardening, sewing, painting, word

In her younger yers, "Stina" worked at the CF MacFarlane-Michell Bentley Corp, 
making the "station wagon", right here in Ionia. She owned a home on Prospect

neighborhood children. It became their "Sandlot" and many wonderful childhood 
memories were made there.

In her later years, "Stina" attended The Just Like Home Adult Day Center.Here 
she made many more friends and carried on her love of word searches and music, 
but also developed a new found interest in arts and crafts, bingo, Jenga, 
cornhole toss, and most of all, The Price is Right.

"Stina" wanted people to know that she was a good person. Good or bad, she 
treated them all the same. She also loved animals, all animals.

"Stina" was kind, funny, sharp witted, and definitely had a mind of her own. She 
never let her health or arthritis become an obstacle.

and Mary, one sister,Donna, dear friend,Marie Silwell, and many other friends 
and family.
