Stella  Lewis passed away at Royal Alexandra Hospital, Edmonton, Alberta on February 7, 2023 at the age of 78 years.

Stella was born on July 31,1944 Onion Lake, AB. She met Gilbert Lawrence Smith where they had 11 children. During those few years, she had to go to a sanatorium. From that point on, her children stayed with the grandparents and the other one stayed with another family.

She got into bead work, sewed leather moccasins or mukluks. After her passing, she had a lot of beads still in her possession. She respected her parents and her traditional values of feasts, honoring her culture. She did what she could for her children. The last few days before her passing, she accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior.
