Kenneth Stem Obituary

It is with deep love and remembrance that we announce the passing of Kenneth Stem, Sr., who departed this life on June 24, 2025. He was 88. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, Kenneth was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Maryann, his cherished son, Mark, and his parents, Pearl and Edgar Stem. His legacy continues through his loving children: Deborah Emmons (Keith), Kenneth Stem Jr. (Theresa), Wayne (Patti), and daughter-in-law Darcy. Kenneth was the proud grandfather of 15 grandchildren and the doting great-grandfather of 13, all of whom brought immense joy and pride to his life. Kenneth's presence was a steady and guiding force in the lives of those who knew and loved him. His values, wisdom, and warm spirit live on in the generations he helped shape. While his absence will be deeply felt, the love he shared remains a lasting gift. Relatives and friends are invited to Kenneth's Life Celebration on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM at Boyd Horrox Givnish Funeral Home, 200 W. Germantown Pike, Norristown, PA 19401.
