My dearest, my friend to the end. I will truly miss her. She will always be a big part of my life and,I was blessed to have known her. We shared so many adventures and life events. My heart is so broken for her loss and for her children. She will never be forgotten. How lucky I was that saying goodbye is so hard. Much love my friend.

I’m so sorry to hear of Stephanie’s passing.  We had many good times growing up together in Lancaster.  Besides classes together at McCaskey, we participated in Girl Scouts and had many wonderful experiences camping at Furnace Hills and at the Girl Scout Roundup in Vermont.  Stephanie was a bridesmaid in my wedding in 1968 and came to our 50th anniversary celebration in 2018.  She was so thoughtful remembering birthdays and other special occasions with greeting cards and notes written in her impeccable penmanship!   My sincere sympathy goes out to Stephanie’s children and grandchildren.   Sincerely, Carol (Hersh) Dehne
