Jennifer “Jennie” Lee Stein

Jennifer Lee Stein, age 47, passed away suddenly on April 27, 2023. Jennie lived in Drexel Hill, Pa. and was a graduate of Ridley High School. Jennie was the cherished daughter of Debbie (Jerry Gallagher) Stein, and loving sister of Shawn. She is also survived by her extended family, including her Aunts: Maxine, Marnie and Barbara, her Uncle John and many cousins.

Jennie worked at the Shoprite in Drexeline for many years. She loved to talk to customers and coworkers. She would gladly bag your groceries and talk your ear off. Jennie had a true exuberance for life. She was an avid participant in the Special Olympics of Delaware County where she played floor hockey, bowling and softball. Traveling for tournaments was one of her favorite things.

Parties and social gatherings were Jennie’s passion. She loved to talk to family, friends and neighbors. By the end of any event, she knew your life story, as well as the story of your family, friends and pets! Jennie was a true joy and had a zest for life that is rarely encountered.

Since earlier this year, Jennie has been battling AML. She was inpatient at Jefferson for over a month where she made forever friends with all of her nurses. She loved hanging out at the nurse’s station dishing with the staff and discussing pets.

Her dogs were the loves of her life. She adopted her first dog Maggie a few years ago, and later adopted Ralfie and Lily. Jennie was also a foster mom to dachshund brothers Lumpy and Lewie. She was the best dog mom ever.

Jennie will be forever missed by her family, friends and puppies. The absence of her twinkle and sass will be felt at every gathering, and her unique perspective and humor will be missed daily.
