STELLA MAE WILLIS of Jonesville, VA was born on December 17, 1912 and entered into rest on January 16, 2013 at the age of 100 years and one month, at her home with her loving family at her side.

Stella was saved at an early age and joined Willis Chapel Church, where she remained a member until her death. She always lived for the Lord and read the Bible daily. She always gave everyone counsel from God's word. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and aunt to her nieces and nephews. We will miss her very much, but we know she is at rest in the arms of Jesus. When Jesus was on the cross and one of the malefactors believed on him and requested that Jesus remember him when he entered into his kingdom, Jesus told him this day "Thou shall be with me in paradise.” Mommy is with the Lord in paradise with all God's children.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Elder Willie Willis; 1 son, Lunie Willis; mother, Winnie Lawson; father, George Lawson; 2 brothers, Harmon and Lunie Lawson and 2 sisters, Vergie Johnson and Rosie Johnson.

Surviving are 3 daughters, Madge Lawson, Vergie Willis and Rosie Ingram; 2 sons, Ralph Willis and Thomas Coy Willis; 3 grandchildren; 4 great grandchildren and 1 step grandson, Justin Doyle.
