Stephanie Anne “Steph” Bemis Rowe, 52, of Jamestown, N.Y. died unexpectedly on

November 3, 2025, in Olean General Hospital and with her family by her side.

Stephanie was born at W.C.A. Hospital on June 13, 1973, in Jamestown, N.Y. She

is the daughter of the late Dorothy R. “Dolly” (Wheeler) Cochrane (Robert E.

“Bob” Cochrane) and Thomas “Tom” Bemis of Jamestown, N.Y.

Stephanie is a 1991 graduate of Southwestern High School.

Stephanie was very intelligent and had an avid interest in psychology and had

been taking online courses. She also took a Criminal Justice class at Jamestown

Community College after High School. Stephanie was a great artist and loved to

draw unicorns, horses and write poetry. She loved listening to music and always

had her favorite music playing, she was an animal lover and her pets were

family. She loved animals from the day she could walk and talk. She had dogs,

cats, a cow and some other animals as small child on the farm with her mom.

She had a great sense of humor and could make just about anyone laugh. She did

an extremely good impression of Bobcat Goldthwait. Stephanie loved music

festivals and would attend to watch her sister Charity's band Big Legg Emma

perform. Stephanie loved to collect stuffed animals and had quite a large

collection. She was a big fan of Stevie Nicks (Fleetwood Mac) and loved Pink

Floyd. Stephanie loved her children with all her heart and looked forward to

every visit with them and every chance to see her grandchildren.

Stephanie had recently accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior and she was

looking forward to getting baptized. She enjoyed

listening to Pastor Reeves sermons on her CDs at home. Now she can rest in the

arms of the Savior, free from pain and sorrow and rejoicing in the presence of

the Almighty!
