Cared deeply for church and community
Stephanie Hasyn, 58, passed away unexpectedly in her bed in Moss Rehab, Philadelphia, Saturday, August 31, 2013, after suffering from a severe stroke, due to an arteriovenous malformation in May. Since her stroke, She had been recovering at a rather miraculous rate and because she was medically stable, her passing came as a surprise to everyone who had faith in her.
She was born Sunday, December 5, 1954, in Washington, where she graduated from Immaculate Conception High School and resided there for most of her early life. She is a daughter of the late Peter and Rose Leone Ferralli.
Also surviving are her loving husband John; a son, Paul; a daughter, Christye; three brothers, Pete, Sam and Steve, her twin; and their respective families.
Having received a bachelor of science in biology from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, a certificate in medical technology from Washington Hospital and an masters in business administration in computer science from Temple University, she placed a tremendous emphasis on continuing her education, and was enrolled as a student in Montgomery County Community College, where she had taken several computer science and music classes over the past two years.
In 1979, she came to the Philadelphia area where she worked at Temple University Hospital and later as a medical technologist at Smith-Kline. After several years of working as a medical technologist, she began work as a data base administrator, but left Smi-Kline soon after to raise her children. She was a wonderful mother, wife and friend, who enjoyed spending time with those she loved. Most recently she had been employed by North Penn School District.
Mrs. Hasyn also cared deeply for her church and community. Among other things, she was a religious education teacher in Presentation of Our Lord Ukrainian Catholic Church. She belonged to Italian Sons and Daughters of America and Lansdale chapter of the AAUW, a volunteer for the auxiliary of the VMSC of Lansdale and Pennsylvania Medical Reserve Corp., coordinator of the community built Park Sci Playground in Upper Gwynedd, volunteered in a number of programs through the North Penn School District, served as a coach and team manager for Nor Gwyn baseball and involved with numerous soccer organizations as a soccer coach and team manager. Some of her hobbies included being an avid reader, the outdoors, cooking, caring for her two cats, traveling and most importantly, spending time with her family and friends.
She loved nature and just being outside. She was very interested in learning as much as she could about plants and animals and sharing her discoveries with whoever would listen. Whenever she and her family traveled, she always enjoyed her time spent experiencing nature from National Parks to National Forests across the United States. She coordinated the Karen Wildey Indoor Memorial Soccer Tournament for the past six years held in Montgomery County Community College. The annual soccer tournament raises funds for anti-DUI and anti-texting while driving educational awareness programs for students in school districts of Montgomery County and Bucks County.
