Stella Leffner (Tinsley)

September 9, 1917 — April 12, 2020

Stella Leffner, of Wentzville, MO, passed away at the age of 102 on Sunday, April 12, 2020. She was preceded in death by her first husband; Eugene Tinsley; her second husband, Richard Leffner; her children, Steven Tinsley and Richard (Denice) Tinsley; her two brothers; and her three sisters.

Stella is survived by her children, Nancy (Ron) Sass, Eugene (Joyce) Tinsley, Leonard Tinsley, and Victor Tinsley; her ten grandchildren; her eight great-grandchildren; her daughter-in-law, Denice Tinsley; and she was a loving aunt, cousin, and friend to many.

Stella will be remembered for having a loving and generous soul and treating everyone she knew with kindness. The St. Louis Cardinals had her unwavering support. She was an avid polka dancer and liked to get out on the dance floor and have a great time. Stella was an ace at Yahtzee and though she loved to bowl, she never did quite get the hang of it. Friends and family always looked forward to the delicious meals and baked treats Stella could whip up with her amazing cooking talent. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Memorial contributions in Stella’s name may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or to the Ronald McDonald House.

A memorial service will be scheduled at a later time.
