Kelly Jeanne Stepke

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Kelly Jeanne Stepke, a beloved mother, sister, daughter, grandmother, and friend. Kelly was born on November 20, 1974, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and heartbreakingly left this world on September 9, 2024, in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, at the age of 49.

Kelly was a deeply spiritual woman who cherished her family above all else. She found relief in healing crystals and had a special bond with her grandsons, Braydon and Bryson, whom she adored spending time with. Kelly shared a special bond with her daughter Alyssa, with whom she found comfort and friendship like that of best friends. Most of her free time was spent in the company of Alyssa, Jade, Braydon, Bryson and her mother Deborah, creating cherished memories that will forever be treasured. Kelly took great pleasure in the simple joys of life – whether it was visiting the beach, capturing the beauty of nature through photography, or being outdoors in the fresh air.

As a dedicated medical assistant in the healthcare industry, Kelly’s compassion extended beyond her professional life. She was always willing to extend a helping hand to those in need and generously supported various charities close to her heart.

Kelly is survived by her beautiful daughters Alyssa Kott and Jade Kott, her mother, Deborah Stepke (Greg Gooder), and her sister, Jaime Nuss (Jaime Burch). Loving grandma to Braydon and Bryson.  Dear aunt of Bailey (Arianna), Jeremy and Lainey Nuss. Niece of Karen (Thomas) Kubiszewski, Susan Sedlar and the late Russ Stepke. Cousin of Dean (Jenny), Bryan Kubiszewski, Kimberly (Andy) Vogt, Kyle, Eric (Megan) Sedlar, the late Drew Stepke, Chad (Alyson) Stepke, Carrie (Patrick) Dlugosch and Brett Stepke, the late Bradley Knaak, Rick and Ryan Knaak. Kelly is further survived by her daughter’s grandparents, Eric and Colleen Kott, other relatives and friends

Kelly was preceded in death by: her father, Richard Stepke and grandparents, Jean (Leonard) Cesarz and Richard (Esther) Stepke.

A Memorial Service to celebrate Kelly’s life will be held at Heritage Funeral Homes in Oak Creek (9200 S. 27th St.) on September 20, 2024, at 1:00 pm, with visitation starting at 10:30 am. Private inurnment will take place at St. Adalbert Cemetery, next to her father.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made out to the family.

Kelly will be dearly missed, but her memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. May she rest in peace.
