Estelle Marie (Stella) Beadle, age 86 of Canton, passed away on Wednesday, December 22nd. The youngest of four daughters, she was born in Canton to the late Donato Evangelista (Sora, Italy) and Evelyn Malatesta on July 29, 1935. She graduated from Central Catholic High School in 1953. She also graduated from Stark Technical College after studying Medical Transcription and worked as a transcriptionist for the former Massillon Community Hospital.

Reading, working in her flower garden and attending her grandchildren's sports as well as musical events were very much appreciated by her as she felt her grandchildren were especially talented. She also enjoyed the bi-monthly luncheons with her eighth grade classmates from St. Joseph Catholic grade school. During her younger years she was a member of the Sunshine Girls, Lullaby Club, Jr. Coterie, St. Joseph Mothers' Club and the Ben V. Marconi Sons of Italy Lodge 1628.

Stella is survived by her husband of 67 years, Gary. She and Gary had five children who were the loves of her life: Bob (Cheryl) Beadle; Don (Donna) Beadle; Melanie Warren; David (Carol) Beadle and Lori (Steve) Burger. She is survived as well by her ten grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren who were definitely bright lights who made life a real joy and made her feel truly loved. She always signed cards and letters to her loved ones with "Love, Love, Love." Stella is also survived by her sister Mary Kunkel, sisters-in-law Nancy Beadle, Mickey Beadle, Anna Beadle, brothers-in-law Mick Beadle and Paul Moran as well as many well-loved nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by sisters: Angeline (Jean) Penner and Delores (Dee) (Paul) Moran, Mary Jo Mullins, brothers-in-law Carl (Tom), Jim, Jay and Dwight (Bunny) Beadle, Wayne Mullins, sisters-in-law Gertie and Shirley Beadle, and nephews Michael Moran, Daniel Kunkel, and Edward Beadle. Stella always put others above herself. With that spirit in mind and to protect family and friends during the ongoing pandemic, a private family graveside service will be held at Calvary Cemetery. A Memorial Mass to celebrate her life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Estelle's name to Pathway Caring for Children (4895 Dressler Rd NW, Canton, OH 44718).
