On September 19th Our Beautiful Stephanie L. Schaefer left this world way too early leaving so many broken hearts behind.

In her short life she played so many rolls, her roll of mother was top on her list. She wanted her children to be free to do what makes them happy and backed any and all decisions they made. When she married her best friend just two months ago, she was so happy to become Ms. Schaefer. She couldn't Imagine her life without him. One of her greatest joys was spending time with Brant and their family as much as she could.  She was extremely proud of the home that her and Brant purchased this past February.  Her biggest passion was plants and beautifully decorating their home for the seasons.  She loved to take trips to the east coast and sit on the beach and take in the beautiful ocean view.

Stephanie excelled in the heathcare field, holding a wide range of positions from caregiver to working her way up to Operations Manager at her final place of employment.  She was extremely devoted to her job and she was beloved by all her co-workers, clients, and caregivers.

Stephanie is survived by Her Best Friend and Husband Brant Schaefer. Her children Clayton (Megan) Schultz, Kris and Phoebe Nielsen, Cory Jr. and Ainsleigh Smith, and her bonus son Owen Schaefer, her mother Tammy K Schultz-Pelletier (Raymond – AKA Frenchy), father Steven J. (Joyce) Schultz. Stephanie is also survived by one sister Melissa K Franzen, along with two grandsons and many uncles, aunts, nieces and nephews. If you were a "friend" that made you family.  She was preceded in death by her grandparents.

There will be a Celebration of Life on Saturday, Sept. 30th from 1-4 p.m. at their home in Milwaukee.

"There's so much room for activities." - Stephanie's statement to her children.
