Stephens-Spangler, Katie Entered heaven on January 26, 2023, surrounded by loved ones. She is survived by her loving husband, Jason; her children and lights of her life, Alice and Robbie; parents, Katherine and Terrance, sister Erin (Jack Corrigan); aunts, Maria Prioletta and Michelle Prioletta; in-laws, Mary and Randy Spangler; sister-in-law Amanda Ferraro (Bryan); numerous family and friends including Brian Thomas May (Shaka Farr), and especially her Rince na Chroi family. Katie was inspiring, courageous, compassionate, and selfless. In everything she accomplished, she made the world a better place. As a wife, mother, daughter, sister, family member, and friend, Katie was incomparable. If you were fortunate enough to be in her orbit, you always knew that you were loved and supported. She made the everyday special and the special days extraordinary. As the founder and owner of the Rince na Chroi School of Irish Dance, she inspired her students and teachers, not only in the art of Irish dance, but in the meaning of family and community. Katie left a legacy. Everyone who had the pleasure of having Katie in their lives was better because of it. Katie will always be in our hearts and she will continue to provide us with a direction that is genuine, kind and true. Katie will be heartily missed by not only those who knew her but also the Irish and Saint Paul communities. Funeral Mass will be held at 11:00AM, on Saturday, February 4, at Holy Spirit Catholic Church, 515 S. Albert St., St. Paul. Family and friends may visit one hour prior. Reception to follow the service.
