Stella was born in Saskatchewan, Canada on November 26, 1917 to Clarence and Frankie Brunt, moving to Washington State around her fifth birthday, carrying with her an extensive pioneering lineage.

On May 30, 1957, she married Woodrow (Bill) Arneson of Wollochet. For the next fifty years Bill and Stella enjoyed fishing, world travel, family and each other. Stella attended the Harbor Covenant Church in Gig Harbor and her love of flowers involved her in the local Garden Club. Stella was preceded in death by three brothers, Bill Brunt, Victor Brunt and John Brunt as well as three sisters, Elva Eastvold, Noralee Bocock, and Marie Corbett. She is survived by her husband, Bill of the family home, sister Pattycole Ulrichs of Fox Island, and Francis Teresa Hansford of Camano Island. A memorial service and burial will be held on Saturday, December 22, 2007 at 2:00 pm at Haven of Rest in Gig Harbor.
