Stefanie Deutsch, 90, of formerly of Nazareth and Bethlehem Township, quietly passed away at Gracedale Nursing Home in Upper Nazareth Township on Sunday, May 12, 2024. She was the beloved wife of the late Frank J. Deutsch, with whom she shared 58 years of marriage prior to her passing in 2010.
Born in Reinersdorf, Austria, Stefanie was a daughter of the late Franz and Caroline (Sommer) Grohotolski. She was employed by the County of Northampton where she worked as a dietary aide at Gracedale Nursing Home for 27 years, retiring in 1992. The simpler things in life were most rewarding to Stefanie, as she enjoyed gardening, cooking, and occasionally, a trip to the Sands Casino, now Wind Creek. She was a member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in Bethlehem Township, and a former member of Holy Family Catholic Church, Nazareth.
Survivors: Stefanie will be forever remembered by her daughter, Anita and husband, Gregory Walakovits, of Lower Nazareth Township; a grandson, Christopher Walakovits of Boston, Massachusetts; along with many nieces and nephews.
In addition to her husband, Frank, she was preceded in death by her siblings: two brothers, Ernest and Sigmond Grohotolski; and four sisters, Rosie, Theresa, Mary, and Helen.
Services: Mrs. Deutsch’s Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated privately with her family. There will be no calling hours. Arrangements are under the care and direction of the GEORGE G. BENSING FUNERAL HOME, LLC, in the Village of Moorestown – Bath.
