Stephan, III; and his sister, Betty Jane Munson. He is survived by his daughters Savannah Stephan and Ann Davis and her husband Dale; grandchildren Emily and Kathleen Witkovski, Hillary Fontenot and her husband Christopher, Sarah Stephan, and Catherine and Abigail Davis; sisters- in-law Louise Sneed and her husband Morris, and K.
