Stephen Katz Obituary
Feb. 16, 2024
Stephen Roy Katz, MD, beloved husband, father, and grandfather, passed away peacefully February 16, 2024, in Paoli, PA, surrounded by his loving family. He was formerly of Fairfield, CT.
Stephen was born in the Bronx, NYC, to Nathan and Rhea Katz. He was a proud graduate of Bronx High School of Science and pursued his passion for medicine at NYU Medical School.
As a brilliant OB/GYN, Stephen dedicated his life to the noble profession of bringing new life into the world. He touched the lives of many, leaving an indelible mark of compassion and care. Having served as president of the Connecticut State Medical Society, his commitment to his patients was unmatched, and his legacy will continue to live on.
Outside of his medical practice, Stephen found joy in music and nature. He enjoyed playing the piano, fishing, tending to his greenhouse and countless pet birds and fish, and daily walks with the family dog.
Stephen is survived by his loving wife, Evelyn Katz, whom he met while she was working at Bellevue Nursing School, his daughter, Rachel Katz, son, Jeffrey Katz (Cheryl), daughter, Leah Schmidt (Stephen), and grandchildren, Jonathan and Audrina. His kindness, generosity, and unwavering love for his family will forever be remembered and cherished.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his name to The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.

Dr. Katz delivered 3 of my 4 children and was a wonderful, caring, professional. I remember being heartbroken having to switch to a new ob/gyn when he retired. He was one of a kind! My most sincere sympathy to his wife and family.

Dr. Katz delivered my twin and I in 1971. I still remember when my mother brought us with her to her appointments with him in the office building on the Post Road in Fairfield across from Lafayette Bank (TD Bank now). My brother and I were apparently among his first deliveries in 1971, and my sister´s three children were among his last deliveries in the mid to late 1990´s. I have heard all my life from my mother and sister that he was such a wonderful, caring, thoughtful doctor. May Dr. Katz have peaceful repose and eternal memory.

Dr Katz was my OBGYN 30 plus years ago. He was a wonderful, caring and compassionate doctor who I never forgot over the years. He delivered 2 of my 3 children. I enjoyed our visits with him and his assistants, Gracie and Fran. I still remember the sound of his voice. Rest peacefully Dr. Katz and thank you for the impact you had on my life and the many unforgettable memories. To the family of Dr. Katz, please accept our sincerest sympathy.
