Stella M. (Krull) Bodek, age 97, of Warwick, RI, and most recently a resident of Scandinavian Home in Cranston, passed away on Wednesday, June 3, 2020 at Hope Health Hulitar Hospice Center in Providence.

She was born in Nanticoke, PA and later moved to Clifton, NJ where she raised her four children. She was employed at Foodtown of Clifton for nearly 34 years until they closed in 1996. She was a member of St. Brendan Church and sang in their choir. She enjoyed her bowling league after retirement and took many trips as a member of her local AARP chapter of which she was also treasurer for seven years. Not one to slow down, Stella’s social life included spending time with her group of Red Hat Ladies and other dear friends.

She leaves behind three children: Suzanne Bodek-Kapulka and her husband Gregg of CO, Paul Bodek of CO and Nora Sodeur of RI, along with six grandchildren, two great-grandchildren and many other extended family members. She is predeceased by her husband Bernard B. Bodek and her daughter Carol Ann Bodek.

She was the rock of our family and was an amazing inspiration. She instilled us all with a zest for living and even during tough times reminded us to laugh. We were blessed to have shared so much time with her.

She loved butterflies and donations in her memory can be made to the Xerces Society at www.xerces.org

Funeral services will be held in NJ at a later date. For online condolences please visit www.thequinnfuneralhome.com
