Stella was born Nov. 11, 1942, in San Antonio, to Alois and Stella Svoboda. Stella and her husband, Syl Macha, moved to Angleton in 1966 to raise their family. She assisted Syl with his insurance business, but most importantly, she was a dedicated wife and mother. She devoted her life to raising their four children, instilling in them the virtues of respect, faith, integrity, and kindness.
She taught each of her children how to prepare a good meal. Stella was an excellent cook who loved hosting large family gatherings and celebrating holidays and the accomplishments of her children and grandchildren, and that sense of hospitality and nurturing carries on with each of her children. In addition, Stella enjoyed gardening and sewing.
Her grandchildren were her pride and joy. Even though they were separated by miles, Stella and Syl traveled to be present for important milestones in their grandchildren’s lives, as well as for family vacations.
Stella was an avid cat-lover all of her life, and she had a soft spot for animals in need. Stray cats somehow knew if they made it to Stella’s back patio that they would either be fed, adopted by her, or rescued and placed in another home.
Stella was preceded in death by her infant daughter, Cheryl; her father, and husband, Syl Macha.
She is survived by her mother, Stella Svoboda; children: Donna Wolf and husband, Joe, Michelle Horsley and husband, Brent, David Macha and wife, Olya, and Karen Barton and husband, Cary; sister, Rose Murphy; brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law: Dennis and Judy Macha, Jerome and Jeannie Macha, Charlie and Jean Macha, Larry and Christine Dover, Pat and Doris Macha, Dexter and Mary Lavender, Mark and Berna Pilcik, and Tim and Terry Macha; grandchildren: Chris and Ryan Gilbert, Allison and Natalie Barton, Luke Horsley and Isabella Macha; and numerous nieces and nephews.
