Justine R. Stora, age 89, died Saturday, Aug. 6.
Though Justine lived more years in Wayland than in Grand Rapids, a part of her heart will always be across the river on the west side of town. She always wanted to be everyone’s guardian angel. Justine was a quiet and unassuming woman of great faith. She loved animals.
Justine was a foster parent for many years. She loved making dolls for her nieces; the children were always delighted with Justine’s generosity.
She is survived by her many nieces Mary Wisniewski, Kathryn (Rich) Mentalewicz, Pamela (Mike) Dombrowski, Laurie (Rob) Barcheski; nephews Philip Zwier, Donald Zwier, Steven (Joann) Zwier.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Cyril “Chuck” Stora, in 1985; sister, Rosemary Zwier; and parents Stanley Kolenda and Stella (Bernard) Korybalski.
Services will be held at noon Thursday, Aug. 11, with one hour of visitation prior at Kubiak-Cook Funeral Home, 312 N. Main St., Wayland.
In honor of Justine, memorial contributions may be made to the Allegan Animal Shelter.
