Stella Louise Redvine

Stella Louise Redvine, a beloved wife, family member, and friend, peacefully entered eternal rest after a life marked by faith, love, and quiet strength. Born and raised in Greenville, Alabama. At the age of eighteen, Stella courageously moved to Ohio, embracing a new chapter filled with promise and purpose. It was there that she met the man who would become her husband and lifelong companion.

Her life reflected her belief in service, love, and steadfast faith in the Lord. She found joy in caring for others and strength in prayer, and she lived as an example of Christ’s love through her actions.

Stella was preceded in death by her daughter Yolanda Redvine; parents Mancy and Houston Ruffin; sister Dorothy Pierce and Merline Williams; and her brother Esau Ruffin.
