Stella's obituary

Stella Marie (Reese) Sill, 71, passed away on October 30, 2024. She was born in 1952 in Elmira, NY, to Kenneth Doyen Reese (deceased Dec 1, 1997) and Belle Bertha (Harris) Reese (deceased Dec 18, 2012). Stella grew up on her parents' farm in Millerton, PA, and graduated from Williamson Junior-Senior High School in May 1970 before moving to Ithaca, NY, where she spent the rest of her life.

She is survived by four siblings: Kenneth Reese (Brooksville, FL), Marie Kelly (Millerton, PA), Katherine Lowe married to Paul Lowe Sr. (Elkland, PA), and John Reese, married to Sue Reese (Millerton, PA). She is also survived by her three daughters, Rebecca Jones (Ithaca, NY), Melissa Sill (Ithaca, NY), and Orriana Sill, married to Bryce Cartmill (Ithaca, NY), as well as her four grandchildren.
