Stella Marie Stark
1943-2022

Stella Marie Stark, 79, of Camp Verde, AZ passed away on November 13, 2022, after a long battle with
cancer.

Marie, as she was known to all, was born on November 2nd , 1943, in Pineville, Missouri. She was the
youngest daughter of Joseph G. and Ollie Mae Alexander.  She married her best friend, James Stark on
May 18, 1962, in Omaha, Nebraska. The couple met in the United States Air Force while stationed
together. After a life in civil service, they spent their lives traveling the country and exploring roads less
traveled. 

Marie had a passion for photography, in particular film, and converted a spare room into a darkroom for
developing. Over the years, she won several blue ribbons at the county fair for her beautiful prints. When
not looking through the lens of a camera, you could find her watching her beloved Arizona
Diamondbacks. Marie was very active, enjoying all that the outdoors had to offer, from fishing to shooting
targets. 

She is survived by her two children, Jim and Toni, three grandchildren Courtney, Tyler, and Lauren, and a
great-grandson, Jacob.
