Stevie Efstration Klein

Stevie Klein, a devoted mother, retired pharmacist, and grandmother, passed away on February 27, 2023 at the age of 73.
She was born on December 22, 1949 in Greenville, South Carolina, to her late parents Paul and Dena Efstration. Stevie was a graduate of Greenville High School and an active member of St. George Greek Orthodox Cathedral. She was a compassionate and dedicated pharmacist who graduated from the Medical University of South Carolina and practiced for over 40 years. She was known for her kind and friendly nature towards all of her patients who often looked forward to seeing her.
Stevie was a loving mother to her three children who were the pride and joy of her life and an incredible grandmother to her three grandchildren – all of whom she adored and deeply cherished. Stevie always made time for her family, and her love for them was evident in everything she did. She enjoyed traveling and spending time with them whether it was going to the beach or simply watching movies.
Stevie was an exceptional pharmacist who touched many lives throughout her career. She was highly respected by her colleagues and patients for her professionalism, dedication, and kindness. Her passing has left a void in the lives of all who knew her, and she will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and patients alike, but her legacy will continue to live on through the memories and love she shared.
Left to cherish her memory are her children, Christopher Klein (Kerri), Nicholas Klein (Stephanie), and Dena Klein McGuire (Shane); grandchildren, Inara McGuire, Jacob Klein, and Kendall Klein; two sisters, Kay Efstration and Caren Chitwood; and many other nieces and nephews.
Stevie was preceded in death by her brother, Charles Paul Efstration.
