Biography

Stella was born in 1919 near Lanesboro, MN to Ole Lewis and Sophia Kolstadt Lewis.[1] She grew up in a home in Arendahl Township with her family and a cousin. [2][3] She attended school until the eighth grade, but, due to hard economic times during the Great Depression, she was sent to La Crosse, WI to work as a chef for wealthy families. This allowed her to help sustain the family farm and prevent foreclosure.[4] While living in La Crosse, she also worked for Moen Photography, colorizing photographs. She was one of the first to do this, and certainly one of the best. [5] As a young woman, she lived with a friend in Rochester, MN while working as a server at Mac's Restaurant.[6] She was married to Wilfred Loeding between 1940 and 1941. Her six children were born near Rochester, MN.[7][8][9][10][11][12] Stella and Fred raised their children in Rosemount, MN across the street from their family church, Saint John's Lutheran Church, and just south of the oil refinery where Fred worked for several decades.[13] After their children grew up, they lived in South Saint Paul.[14] Fred died in 1988, while living there. Stella later moved to Inver Grove Heights,[15][16][17] where she lived for many years until her death in 2002.[18][19] She is buried at Saint Johns Lutheran Cemetery of Rich Valley.[20]
