Not sure what to say?

Stephanie was my father's first cousin on her mother's side. She was very humble and lived simply. Her love for fashion came from her grandmother who was a seamstress In poland. Her Grandmother, Catherine Was My Great Grandmother.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

It was a Privilege, Pleasure, and most of all a Honor to work for Stephanie Kwolek as one of her technicians. She was a Pioneer in the field of Chemistry an asset to the Dupont Company, but even more improtant she was a Wonderful Lady. Chet Rice

Stephanie Kwolek was a pioneer - as a woman and as an inventor. She left behind a name and a legacy that won't be quickly forgotten, especially among those whose lives she touched. The works has lost an amazing woman, but her legacy makes the words penned by a wise man, ring true: "A good name is better than precious oil; and the day of death, than the day of one's birth."

I had the privilege and the pleasure of working with Stephanie after she had retired from DuPont. She was a excellent model of a successful woman in science and she was actively engaged with women's groups promoting science as a career path for women. My sympathies to the family for their loss.

In grateful appreciation for your invention of a product that saved so many lives, and will continue to do so. Condolences to the family...

I am very sorry for your loss.We would like to express our warm love and deepest sympathy for you and your family. I am sure that you will find much comfort from the bible at Acts25:15.

God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered “come to me.” With tearful eyes, we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard-working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us; He only takes the best.
