Katherine Levin Stenslie Obituary (1952 - 2020)

Katherine Ann Levin Stenslie, age 67, of St. Paul and Columbia Heights, died peacefully from complications of COVID-19 on December 1, 2020 with her husband at her bedside. She was born in St. Paul on December 20, 1952. Preceded in death by parents, George Lloyd Levin and Mary Aberle Levin; and mother-in-law, Virginia Stenslie. Survived by loving and beloved husband, Steven Stenslie; brothers, William (Gloria) Levin and Robert Levin; cousins, Stephen (Kathryn) Aberle, Martha (Martin) Bean and Susan (Michael) Kraykowski and their families; brother-in-law, Douglas (Renee) Stenslie; many friends all over the world and in cyberspace; canine companion Silas. A graduate of St. Paul Academy and Summit School, Oberlin College, Episcopal Divinity School and Boston University, Katherine was fluent in speaking and writing in many languages. She freely shared her senses of justice, aesthetics, and humor (including awful, groanworthy puns). She loved opera, orchestral music, and travel. Her family so appreciated that she and Steve found one another and enjoyed these interests and more. Many thanks to the ICU team at Regions Hospital for their expert and compassionate care. Due to COVID concerns, services will be scheduled at a later date. Memorials preferred to the Mary Aberle Levin Scholarship Fund at St. Paul Academy and Summit School, Neighborhood House or donor’s choice. SHIVA 7:30 PM CST on Dec 9, 2020.
