Estella “Stella” Villarreal, of League City, passed away on Monday, June 14, 2021 at her home in League City at the age of 75.

Stella was born on January 18, 1946 in Galveston, Texas to Apolito and Petra Villarreal.  She was a graduate of Hitchcock High School and College of the Mainland.  She retired as a registrar from Houston Community College where she had worked for over twenty years. She was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in League City.  Ms. Villarreal had an extremely strong faith in God.  She was a generous giver to all.  She never forgot a special occasion and she always sent thoughtful cards to those she cared for.  She was one to start up a conversation with anyone near by and she always had sweet compliments to give. She was always dressed to a T, even at the ballpark when she would watch her children and grandchildren play sports.  She was a beautiful lady inside and out.

She was preceded in death by her parents Apolito and Petra and sister Janie Owen.  Estella is survived by her daughter Gina Bradley and husband Shane of League City, son Father Constantino Barrera, Jr. of Beaumont, grandchildren Mia and Cole Bradley and many other loving family and friends.
