Della Stockdale Jennings

April 29, 1931 - January 26, 2022

Della Stockdale Jennings, 90, peacefully passed into eternity January 26, 2022 in Conroe, TX. Born in Carrollton, KY April 29, 1931 to Stanley Franklin Stockdale and Mary Edna Cotton, Della was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Michael Jennings; daughter, Helen Peifer; three sons, Terrence, Stanley and Andrew Jennings; sisters, Frances Schaum and Jean Cossairt; and brothers, Bud and Lawrence Stockdale. She is survived by sisters, Margaret Inderhees and Louise Fitzpatrick; brother, Delmar Stockdale (Peggy); sons Frederick Jennings (Donna) and James Jennings (Carrie); daughter, Elizabeth Raynes (Arthur); 10 grandchildren, and 6 great- grandchildren. The phrase "At Your Service" perfectly characterized Della's abundant life. Beyond her large family, she tirelessly supported countless people - as midwife at innumerable infant births, school crossing guard to scores of young children, and professional aide to many businesses across a long career. A church deaconess for decades, she personally fed the hungry, and organized innumerable socials, pot-luck meals and sports concessions. Her presence is forever missed, but her memory forever a blessing. In times of joy or hardship, she served up a signature smile and laugh, uniquely known to all who treasure her.
