Ms. Stedener attended Cortland State Teacher’s College, later named the State University of New York at Cortland. Upon her passing, Ms. Stedener made a generous provision in her will to support scholarships for students from the Ellenville Central School District, and students attending SUNY Ulster, Orange and Sullivan Community Colleges and SUNY New Paltz and Cortland.
