Lisa was born in Port Chester, New York and spent her early years growing up in a charming home in Mamaroneck, New York. She then moved with her family to Greene, New York, where she met many lifelong friends and found the Lord. She always had a heart for education, and after graduating from Greene High School she attended Broome Community College, followed by Oneonta State and lastly, received her Masters degree from Cortland State. She loved her career as an elementary teacher for nearly a decade until the birth of her own children.

Lisa met her husband Kevin at a local Christian coffeehouse. When they married, she gained a wonderful son, Kian and then had Noah and Anna. She ultimately gave up teaching for a higher calling to raise her children. Lisa transitioned to homeschooling her children and utilized her experience in education, becoming heavily involved in the local homeschooling community. She tutored students through local co-ops and helped many families with the education of their children. Her zeal for life and faith in Jesus was contagious. Lisa’s greatest desire was to be still and wait on God. She had much wisdom and spent countless hours ministering to those in need. God was always first; followed by her family, then everything else. She will be missed more than tongue can tell.

Lisa’s family will be holding a celebration of life on October 25, 2025 at 2 PM at the Crossroads of Life Church at 18 Exchange St. Binghamton, NY. We invite all who knew her to come and share some stories about Lisa as we celebrate a life well lived.

James “Jim” Stephens, 55, went to join his father suddenly, yet peacefully on Saturday, October 11, 2025 after enduring many years of debilitating pain from a work-related injury. Jim never let that take away from his 30-years of service as an auto technician with Feduke Ford-Lincoln. Jim is predeceased by his father, Jerry Stephens, who was also his mentor sharing in his knowledge and love of cars. That passion would be passed along to his boys Brandon and Jarrett. Brandon continues Jim’s hard working mentality alongside his wife, Alyssa and their two daughters Maliyah and Natalie. These granddaughters to Jim, brought him such great joy and pride. Jarrett, too, carries on Jim’s hardworking nature along with their shared interest in all things cars–supporting him, caring for him, and working alongside Jim in every capacity up until the very end. Jim’s other joys are his Dachshunds, Josie and Shelby (named after a model of Mustang cars, his favorite thing in life to drive). His beloved wife of 30 years, Jen Stephens (Pecka), will have those pups to comfort her as she mourns the loss of her husband, partner, friend, and love. By Jen’s side, are those whom Jim is survived by. Including his mother, Nancy Stephens who will feel the loss of Jim immensely. The only good to come out of his injury was the time he was given to enjoy the simpler things in life. Baking side by side with his mom, the family’s favorite—his infamous apple pie! Joining in this loss is his brother, Jeff Stephens, wife Jill, and their daughter Jenna and Jim’s sister, Laura Decosse (Stephens), her husband Dave, and their daughters Karissa and Ashlyn. We are all grateful for the beautiful fall evening recently spent together celebrating Nancy’s 80th Birthday. Just one day before his passing Jim was able to enjoy a drive with his wife and mother to visit his father’s gravesite which will be Jim’s final resting place as well. They are together again, the way a father and son should be, and with this we are left with comfort. Instead of flowers please consider a donation to the Broome County Council of Churches CHOW pantry: Community Baptist Church 743 Chenango Street Binghamton, NY 13901 and join us in saying goodbye to Jim at the Pucedo Funeral Home, 1905 Watson Blvd, Endicott, NY on Thursday, October 16th from 5-7pm, with a service immediately following.
