Stephanie N. Zorn's Obituary
Stephanie graced the world with her presence on February 7, 1980. She was baptized and confirmed in the Christian faith at Martin Luther Ev. Lutheran Church in Oshkosh. Stephanie excelled academically and participated in many sports throughout childhood and adolescence. She graduated from Oshkosh West High School in 1998 and continued her education at UW-LaCrosse and UW-Madison, majoring in Pharmacy. She was an avid reader, enjoyed biking, hiking and many camping adventures. She relished spending time in nature where she felt connected and at peace. Stephanie was extremely intelligent, quick witted and funny. She was one of the most beautiful, genuine, compassionate, kind and grounded souls in the universe. She was a true kid at heart and found joy, laughter, and fun everywhere she could. Stephanie was given the challenge of chronic pain and illness, however, she never complained about her health issues but gracefully accepted what she could not change; she was eternally hopeful that she would one day be free of pain. Jesus released her from her pain on November 29, 2017 and took her to heaven with him when she unexpectedly passed away at Aurora Medical Center in Oshkosh with her family at her side.
