Stella Mae Herron

Stella Mae Herron, 79, of Georgetown, Tennessee, met her Lord and Savior on March 8, 2026, surrounded by her family. She fought a long battle with dementia. She was born September 22, 1946 to the late Leonard and Alice Childs.

Stella lived in Birchwood, Tennessee the entirety of her life. She loved the Lord with all her heart, and lived a Christian life daily. She attended Birchwood Church of God of Prophecy.

Stella was the rock of her whole family. She was a mother to everyone, would give anything she had if they needed it. She was the most Godly example to her family. Her passion was caring for other people, and doing it to the fullest.

Stella worked at Hardwick Clothes, Rose's, and William C. Stansberry's office as a Medical Assistant- of which she retired from. She also owned chicken houses and a dairy farm for many years.

Stella most enjoyed spending time with her family. Her son was her greatest blessing, and brought her so much joy. Her absence will be felt by all who knew her, especially her children and grandchildren.

Stella's family would like to express how thankful and appreciative they are for Gentiva Hospice, and the love and support gave to Stella and her family. As we all mourn the loss of our beloved Stella (Mamaw), let us celebrate the life she lived.
