MIDDLETON - Stephanie Rae Bellis, age 24, of Verona, passed away on Monday, January 6, 2025, at UW Hospital and Clinics following a tragic accident. She was born on March 6, 2000, in Aurora, Colorado, the daughter of Brian and Melinda (Rohrich) Bellis.

Stephanie graduated from Middleton High School with the class of 2018. She worked as a CNA at UW Hospital in the Transplant Unit. She was passionate about caring for her patients and had the goal of continuing her studies to be a Cardiac Nurse.

Stephanie loved snuggling with her kitty, Millie, and enjoyed watching movies like The Grudge, Final Destination and she couldn’t watch enough Gray’s Anatomy, Dexter and Forensic Files. She was well-traveled, and spent time with her mother, Mindy, near the water and hiking. She could often be found exercising and doing cardio workouts, and frequently indulged in long, hot showers. Stephanie enjoyed doing her hair and nails and loved Skinny Pop popcorn and a soda.

Stephanie is survived by her parents, Brian and Mindy; brother, Alex Bellis; her maternal step grandmother, Faye Rohrich and family; two aunts, Brenda Guthmiller and Leslie Vaughn; three uncles, Morris (Teresa) Bellis, Jeff (Kerrie) Bellis and Keith Bellis; and five cousins, Megan Guthmiller, Nicole Guthmiller, Jason (Deena) Bellis, Jordan (Caitlin) Bellis and Andrew Bellis.
