Vonita "Rene" Stanfill

March 28, 1947 — September 24, 2024

Foristell, Missouri

Vonita “Rene” Stanfill (nee Gililland), of Foristell, MO, passed away Tuesday, September 24, 2024 at the age of 77. Cherished daughter of the late Russel and Genoa Gililland; devoted mother of Heath (Gina) Stanfill, Trish (Eric) Alderson and Leah (Chris Myers) Stanfill; loving grandmother of Logan Stanfill, Luke Stanfill, Aiden Alderson, Ethan Alderson and Alaina Alderson; dear sister of Andrew (Mary Lou) Gililland.

Vonita Stanfill was a strong, straightforward woman who never met a stranger, known for her honesty and fairness, she always spoke her mind but did so with warmth and kindness. Vonita had a unique ability to connect with people from all walks of life, and her love for conversation made her a friend to many.

A devout member of her church community, Vonita was deeply involved in her faith and dedicated much of her time to service. She also had a love for adventure and was happiest on the water, whether she was waterskiing or snow skiing, or spending time at her favorite places, the river or the lake. Vonita had a passion for travel, exploring the world, yet her heart always belonged to the serenity of the water.

In 1968, alongside her spouse, Vonita co-founded Rustique Enterprises, a business she ran successfully as a bookkeeper and owner for over 50 years. Her strong work ethic and commitment to her family ensured that the business thrived.

Vonita was also a dedicated grandmother, always finding joy in her grandchildren’s company. She was an exceptional cook, known for her delicious meals that brought her close-knit family together. Her love, strength, and ability to hold her family close will forever be cherished.

Vonita leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, and warmth that will be treasured by all who knew her.

Memorials may be made in Vonita's name to American Cancer Society.
