Stella Mikhail Makeup Artist Chicago Death – Obituary: Reportedly Died from a Brief Illness

I am still in shock right now after finding out late last night. Oh, sweet Stella Mikhail…I will miss you! You were talented beyond others and always wanted one thing…for your clients to feel their best. And we did. You did that for me every .single. time. (!) I sat in your kitchen during our early morning makeup sessions and caught up. I felt like I was there every 2 weeks for the past 12 years (and over 20 years since we met at Oprah!) How lucky I was to spend time with you, see your mom, give Faith a hug before she left for school. Your work allowed me to be myself on camera and for that I’m forever grateful. How am I going to do it without you? My heart is with your family…you will never be forgotten. Our Oprah family has lost a legend.

Stella, a wife, a mother, so dear,

Left this life, but now she’s finally here.

Reunited with her daughter, Erika so bright,

Together again, holding each other tight.

In memories she’ll always live on,

Her infectious smile and kindness never gone.

Her love for life and family so true,

Now shines bright in the heavens, anew.

No more pain or tears to shed,

Only love and peace in her final bed.

Rest in peace, Stella, you’ll always be,

Loved, remembered, and in our hearts, forever free.
