Stephanie J. Reimann

ARENA/MIDDLETON - Stephanie J. (Millisor) Reimann, age 62, passed away on Thursday, March 19, 2009, at the Don and Marilyn Anderson HospiceCare Center in Fitchburg after a long and courageous battle with ovarian cancer. Stephanie was born on April 8, 1946, in Madison to Lowell "Mike" and Bette (Wall) Millisor. She spent much of her youth living in different parts of the world, including Iwakuni, Japan where she attended first grade while living on the Air Force base there. Upon returning to the U.S., she resided in California, Missouri, Texas, Ohio, and New Mexico while her father served in the Air Force. No matter where she was living, she would always consider Middleton to be home. She graduated from Middleton High School in 1964 and attended college in Waverly, Iowa studying pre-veterinary medicine. She once again returned to Middleton where she worked as a bartender at the Club Tavern and waitress at Rennebohm's. Stephanie was most recently employed as a bus driver for First Student in Mazomanie. She enjoyed riding horses, gardening, fishing, snowmobiling and spending time with her children and grandchildren. She is survived by her father, Lowell (Charlotte) Millisor of Fitchburg; daughter, Tammy (Bill) Perrin; son, Mike (Whitney) Reimann; grandsons, Brandon Dilley (fiancé Rachelle Leix), Justin Dilley (fiancé Sarah White), Casey and Colton Perrin (whose birth she eagerly awaited before leaving us), Kalen and Jarrett Reimann all of Arena; and great-granddaughter, Nyla Jo Dilley of Sparta. She is further survived by many other close friends and relatives. She was preceded in death by her mother, Bette; and maternal grandparents, William and Wanda (Drews) Wall. A memorial service in celebration of Stephanie's life will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 28, 2009, at the ARENA CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. Friends may call from 10 a.m. until the time of service. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Don and Marilyn Anderson HospiceCare Center in Fitchburg. We would like to thank the staff for the wonderful care mom received as she awaited her final resting place. She really loved all of you! Mom, We will never forget you and the lessons you taught us in life. Going on without you here will be the most difficult task we have ever done, but we know you are finally free from the pain and at peace. We will see you again someday in Heaven. Love, Tammy, Bill, Mike and Whitney
