Priscilla Joy Steffen

In Loving Memory of Priscilla Steffen

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Priscilla Steffen, a cherished wife, mother, sister, and friend. Priscilla left this world on February 16, 2024, leaving behind a legacy filled with love, kindness, and unforgettable  memories.

Priscilla's greatest joy in life was her family. She is survived by her beloved daughter, Alisha Brown (husband Roger), brother, Tim Schulz (wife Karen), sister, Aleta Schulz, and her husband, Ronnie Steffen.  Priscilla's unwavering  love for her husband, Ronnie, was evident to all who knew them. Their bond was built on a foundation of shared laughter, support, and endless devotion.  Her dog Poppet brought immeasurable happiness into her life and provided loyal companionship until the  very end.

While we mourn the loss of Priscilla, we find solace in knowing that she has been reunited with those who preceded her in death. She joins her parents Patricia and Leon, as well as brother Danny Schulz, in eternal peace.

Priscilla had a passion for making a difference in the lives of others through her professional nursing career.  After earning her bachelor’s and then master’s degrees in nursing, she became a critical care and pulmonary Nurse Practitioner. 

To continue to share her passion and teach others about nursing, she earned her doctorate degree in nursing and served as the Associate Dean of the School of Nursing for Grand Canyon University.

Priscilla's commitment to nursing education has touched countless lives. Her legacy will be cherished forever. 

The visitation will be held on Friday, February 23rd, from 6:00pm to 8:00pm with a prayer service at 7pm at Whitney & Murphy Funeral Home, 4800 East Indian School Road, Phoenix.  Graveside services will be held on Saturday, February 24th at 10:00am at Saint Francis Catholic Cemetery, 2033 N 48th Street, Phoenix. (off of Oak Street - Gate 7)

May Priscilla rest peacefully in eternal life.
