Disclosure: Although I do not know when Mrs. Stephan worked at Westminster High School – for some reason, I remember her working there. I attended Westminster High School from 1968 to 1971; so I will be curious if I was in high school when she worked there.

As I grow older, I find that memories from approximately 45-years ago sometimes have lots of cobwebs. However many of my classmates such as George Welty, Ginnie Muse Schoenberger, Ron Zepp and Debbie Soper O'Hara always seem to remember these things better than I do.

This writer also worked at Carroll Gardens in the 1960s, several years after Mrs. Stephan worked there in the 1950s. Yet when I worked at Carroll Gardens almost 10-years after Mrs. Stephan worked there, she was still remembered with fondness for how well she did her job and that she was also very friendly. Everyone liked working with her.

I then farmed from 1974 to 1999. I raised nursery stock and did property management and landscape contracting - and Mrs. Stephan was one of my customers. She was a wonderful customer. She was nice, kind, attentive and friendly and always seemed so appreciative.


Mrs. Stephan was a wonderful asset in our community in so many ways. She will be greatly missed.
