Elizabeth Stamfel Obituary

Stamfel, Elizabeth M. "Liz" (Nee Haines) Born to Eternal Life on Wednesday, October 11, 2017, at the age of 87. Beloved wife of the late Arthur "Cliff" for 60 years. Adored and loving mother of Richard Stamfel and Sally Neklewicz, and very special mother-in-law to Rick Neklewicz. Cherished friend of Betty Glaaser and the entire Glaaser family. Survived by brother-in-law Richard L."Jake" Stamfel of Northumberland, PA; dear Cousin Sally Bennett of Fairfax Station, VA; and many other relatives and friends. A private memorial service was held. Final resting place will be in Picture Rocks, PA. In lieu of flowers, contributions to the Elmbrook Humane Society would be appreciated. Liz was born in Danville, PA. After graduating from high school she worked several years for Merck Pharmaceutical Co., until her marriage to Cliff. Leaving their home state to pursue Cliff's career, they moved to Shreveport, LA, finally moving to Brookfield, WI. An avid sports fan, she enjoyed traveling with Cliff to many Big Ten College football games following Penn State, including many college Bowl games. She was a passionate Green Bay Packer fan and attended Super Bowl XXXII. She was a member of Community United Methodist Church of Elm Grove. Liz will be remembered for her big and generous heart, also for her giving nature. She was a true lover of animals, and care and support of wildlife. She loved her family and everyone she knew. Thank you to the caring staff at Franciscan Woods, Brookfield and a special thank you to Gary and Jeanati. A true appreciation to the care and support from our Visiting Angels Helen and Susie.
