Stefanie Jo Adams (Legleiter), 55, was called home to her heavenly Father on June 8th, 2019. She was born on October 26th, 1963 in Colorado Springs, CO to Rudy and Maralyn Legleiter.
She met her loving husband Jeff at her first teaching job in Colorado. They were married June 11th, 1993 and had two children - Olivia (1997) and Jase (2000).
She graduated from Wichita State University in 1986 and went on to be a band director and music teacher. Stefanie was a very artistic and creative person. She enjoyed sewing and making clothes for herself and others. Stefanie spent her free time gardening and looked forward to picking out which flowers to plant each spring. Growing up in Colorado, she became an avid Denver Broncos fan. She carried this passion throughout her life, supporting Jeff in coaching, Olivia in swimming, and Jase in football. Stefanie especially loved music and helping others grow in their musical talents.
After 32 years, Stefanie retired from teaching in 2018. She and her older sister, Lynette, started their own historical-education workshop business shortly after called 2 Into Teaching You. Stefanie also began working at the Lenexa Rec Center in the childcare center where she got to do one of her favorite things: rock babies. Her spare time was spent cuddling her beloved Bentley, a five-pound Yorkie.
Stefanie was preceded in death by both sets of her grandparents and five uncles.
She is survived by her husband Jeff, daughter Olivia, son Jase, parents Rudy and Maralyn Legleiter of Colorado Springs, CO, sister Lynette Legleiter of Hutchinson, KS, sister Suzanne Legleiter of Phoenix, AZ, 8 nieces and nephews, and her best friend Bentley.
