Memories and Condolences
for Stephanie Fibelkorn

Not sure what to say?





OH....COME AND SING OHIO'S PRAISE......

Last Sunday I was made aware of the wonderful yet sad event on Stephanie's and your behalf...the conferring of her degree in Engineering.

I pass by the corner of Broad and High twice a day and have the opportunity to view the utility pole where folks have attempted to memorialize your daughter and sister.

I noticed that there have not been very many additions anymore as time has a way of fading our memories...When I heard of the wonderful gesture that Ohio State created for your family, I just felt I needed to do something to help celebrate with and for you.

Thus, the attached picture is of my contribution to the memory of Stephanie. I never knew here but my heart aches just the same. May G-D Bless her soul and may you always remember that beautiful smile. My deepest heartfelt sympathy to you and all of the Fibelkorn family.

You guys don't know me, but my name is Kelsey and I was on the Disney College Program in the spring of 2014. I had the privilege of meeting Stephanie a few times during my stay at Disney. I worked at the main entrance of Hollywood Studios with one of Stephanie's roommates, Auburn, who was one of my good friends on the program. There was a day that Auburn, a few other friends and I "Disneybounded" at Downtown Disney, she as Merida and I as Jasmine. This was the first day I met Stephanie, she joined us at Downtown Disney and Disneybounded as a character from Kingdom Hearts, which I'm not very familiar with so I don't remember what character it was. All I remember is that Stephanie was absolutely one of the sweetest people I had ever met. She even took pictures of my friends and I that day, which are some of my favorite pictures from the program. I also saw her one day when I was riding the Winnie the Pooh ride at Magic Kingdom, she was working. I'm sad that I didn't get the chance to get to know her better, and I was heartbroken to learn of her passing, especially because of her high aspirations in life. I can't even imagine what you must be going through right now but I hope you can take comfort in the fact that she touched lives wherever she went, even me, who only met her briefly. I bet you'd be hard pressed to find anyone that had a bad word to say about Stephanie. I wish you all the merriest Christmas imaginable in this unfortunate situation, and that Stephanie's legacy will live on through the street name and scholarship fund in her honor. Love, Kelsey

As a banker, I met Stephanie a few times at the bank and her smile will be with me always. I sat with her the day before she passed and was stunned when I heard. She was a beautiful spirit and was looking very forward to Disney. I'm so sorry for your loss. She made a very lasting impression in a very short time. Your family is in my prayers
