Chester M. Stefanski
Jul 26, 1927 – Apr 14, 2017
Age “89 ½.” Preceded in death by his parents, Stanislaus and Anna (Czaja); his beloved wife of 60 years, Virginia; and son, Thomas. Survived by his children: Dr. Mary Susan Heaney (Robert), Ann Thomsen (Gary), James Stefanski (Deborah), Barbara Vanderbeek (Kraig), and Janet Kohll (David); fifteen grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; nieces and other relatives; wonderful friends, neighbors, and parishioners. Graduate of South High School and Omaha University and a longtime employee of Nebraska Tractor & Equipment Co.

On behalf of the Bertagni children, ( Sue, Monsignor Ted, Nancy, Steve, Tina & Jody) we send our deepest condolences to your entire family. Many of our parents (Ted & Mary Bertagni) stories consisted of good laughs about Chet & Virginia Stefanski. It is comforting to know, they are all partying together again! You are in our thoughts and prayers!
Thank you so much for your nice msg. They’re “neighbors” at Calvary as well. May they all be at peace.
