Stasia Bechtle Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 16, 2021.
Stasia M. Bechtle (nee Girnius), wife of the late Charles G., passed away peacefully with family by her side on March 16, 2021. She was 83, born in Brooklyn, NY to Helen and Joseph Girnius. Stasia is survived by her children, Charlotte Cooke (Kevin), Charles Jr. (Wilde), and Michael; grandchildren, Nicholas Bechtle, Kaitlin Cooke, and Kevin Cooke Jr.; preceded in death by grandchildren Charles Bechtle III and Edward Charles Cooke. Survived by siblings, Betty O'Donnell, Gerry Joseph, William Girnius, and Charles Girnius; also preceded in death by siblings Joseph Girnius, Vincent Girnius and Connie DiSabato. Stasia worked at Yale and Town for over 42 years, starting as a secretary and retiring as a valued member of the credit department. After retiring from Yale and Town she worked at the IRS for over 5 years. After retiring from the IRS she worked at Bally Total Fitness Center where she would greet members as they came in the gym – a job that fit her perfectly. Stasia loved meeting and talking to people and was always "on the go". Being the matriarch of the family, Stasia was most proud of her children and grandchildren. She loved spending time with her family and was always there for them. She was also the ultimate "soccer mom" cheering at her kids' and grandkids' games. Stasia worked hard but whenever she could, she could be found at the beach in North Wildwood. Taking her kids and grandkids down the shore for a week's vacation truly made her happy. Relatives and friends are invited to Stasia's Life Celebration on Saturday, March 20, 2021 from 9:30- 10:30AM at Our Lady of Calvary Church, 11024 Knights Road, Philadelphia, PA 19154. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:30AM. Interment will follow at Resurrection Cemetery in Bensalem. Condolences may be sent to the Bechtle family by visiting www.JohnFGivnish.com.
