Florence Stemper Obituary

Stemper, Florence Marie (Nee Weber ) passed away peacefully and with dignity just shy of her 92nd birthday, surrounded by her family. Per her wishes, her body was donated to the Medical College of Wisconsin and private services were held. Our sincerest gratitude to the incredibly dedicated medical and volunteer staff at the Zilber Aurora Hospice on Honey Creek Parkway in Wauwatosa, where donations may be made in Florence's name.

I grew up next door to Florence my whole life till I moved out at 18. She was a fixture in our house, spending countless hours drinking coffee (or wine) with my Mom. She always loved a good joke and contributed many of her own, usually very bawdy! She taught me how to tie my shoes, which is my earliest memory of her. Our families have been intertwined since 1958! Even though I haven't seen her since Mike Murphy's funeral, she will be fondly remembered and greatly missed.

Florence was a Grand Lady. She lived life to the fullest. Her email handle was FLOONTHEGO & she was every bit of that % then some. Many fond memories of Florence will be held in this heart. Look forward to seeing Florence on the other side.
