We are consoled that in life, people are born, gifted and empowered. They are assigned specific tasks by the Almighty God, and when those tasks are accomplished fully, they are called back to their creator with no recourse to age, mighty and/or size. Such is the intriguing phenomenon that compound everyone, who had the privilege of knowing this unassuming, brilliant, vivacious, elegant and endearing value Stella George, who was endowed with the spirit of benevolence. We believed sincerely that she performed to the best of her clout, and whether or not she accomplished the tasks assigned to her, fully, would remain surmise.

We will miss her classical sense of humors that usually lightened those who came across her, and her stand against all norms which were repugnant to natural justice, equity and good conscience.

Late Lady Stella personality, dreams, vision and that of his only child, to better the life of humanity brought birth to this foundation. “STELLA GEORGE FOUNDATION”
