Stella Rose Holyk, 101

Stella Rose Holyk, 101, passed May 22, 2018, in Hot Springs.

She was honored by Montana’s lieutenant governor as a centenarian last fall in Kalispell.

Her secret to a long life is “Just live every day and do the best you can,” as she showed us first hand. She was everyone’s “Gram” and will be loved and missed by many.
