Jean M. Stem (nee Wood), 76, died peacefully at Fawcett Memorial Hospital in Port Charlotte, FL on Monday, March 6, 2017.

Jean was born Jan. 30, 1941, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Joseph and Mabel Wood.  She married Joseph W. Stem Sr. in 1965 and enjoyed a love that could not separate them — forever in life and now together again in heaven.  Jean was a loving and caring wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who always made time for her friends and family.

Jean worked for some printing companies until becoming a wife and mother; then she cared for and raised her children. As her children grew up, she took to painting signs for her husband's company. She loved what she did and always put her heart into all that she touched. Jean also loved to do genealogy; she loved learning the history of her family.

She is survived by her three children, Joseph (Tracey) Stem Jr., Jeanne "Missy" (Rick) Lewis and Patricia "Trish" Bradley; grandchildren, Kenneth (Brandi) Wolfrom, Jacqualine Wolfrom, Charles (Nikki) Wolfrom, Jessica Bradley, Cody Hawkins, Alexandria and Kayleigh Stem; great-grandchildren, Faith, Kayleigh, Karlie and Conner Joseph Wolfrom; and two brothers, William (Ag) Wood and Joseph Wood.
