Sister Stephanie was part of my life in grade school at St. Michael's, Brookville and then at college at Marian University. In both cases, I mainly remember her beautiful smile. God be with you, Sister Stephanie. Enjoy your Christmas in heaven!
On behalf of the entire Marian University community, I extend our heartfelt condolences to all those who loved and were positively impacted by Sister Stephanie throughout her long, full life. We were deeply saddened to hear of her passing and know that this must be a tremendously difficult time for Sister Stephanie’s family, friends, and fellow Sisters. She was a highly valued and passionate member of the Marian University community, serving as a member of the Education Department here on campus for 10 years and three years in the Alumni office. Sister Stephanie’s dedication to the Franciscan values, compassion for all peoples, and abiding faith are truly wonderful qualities that call us all to strive for that kind of strength. While my words cannot bring sufficient comfort at this heart-rending time, I hope Sister Stephanie’s family, friends, and fellow Sisters know that the entire Marian community joins together in petition for the repose of Sister Stephanie’s soul and her everlasting happiness. Her legacy will live on throughout the Marian community and Sisters of St. Francis of Oldenburg. May God bless us all with happy memories of Sister Stephanie today and always.
