It is with great sadness that the family of Stella Moreno Campos announces her passing. She was called to our Lord Thursday, August 1, 2019, surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Austin, Texas on March 6, 1932 to Nash and Paula Moreno.   She graduated from St. Mary’s Academy, an all-girls school, where she was active in student council. On June 4, 1950, Stella married her one and only love, Alvino C. Campos. She worked as a secretary at Veterans Outreach and worked at SER Jobs for Progress.
Stella was very active in the community, schools and church. Stella was a lifelong Catholic and a charter member of St. Pius X Catholic Church.

In addition to being a member of a bunco group for over 50 years, she was a member of a canasta group and Wednesday Social.
