On January 16, 2025, Stephen Dobranski, loving husband, father and grandfather died peacefully in his residence at Brittany Pointe Estates, 2 days shy of his 96th birthday. 

Stephen was born on January 18, 1929 in Ashley, PA. He was preceded in death by his parents, Michael and Pauline Dobranski, and siblings Nicolas, Ann (DiCristofalo), John and Mary Dobranski as well as three siblings who died in childhood. 

Stephen was the devoted husband of Irene Dobranski, his wife of 63 years. He was the loving father of Paula (Patrick) Devlin, Trish (Michael) Cunningham and Stephen (Shannon). He was the loving grandfather of 8 – Allison, Jessica, Stephen, Emily, Lisa, Sean, Christopher and Audrey. 

Stephen served in the US Army during the Korean War. Afterwards, he proudly attended King’s College in Wilkes-Barre, PA where he graduated with honors. 

When Stephen married Irene in 1961, they relocated to Montgomery County where they raised their family. Stephen worked the majority of his career as a CPA at Cooper’s & Lybrand (now PWC) in Philadelphia, PA. He was pleased to take an early retirement so he could spend more time with family, especially Irene. They enjoyed traveling together, going to movies and dining out for nice dinners. They were inseparable. 

Stephen was an avid Philadelphia sports fan and was delighted when the Phillies won the 2008 World Series and the Eagles won the 2018 Super Bowl. Stephen will be remembered for his strong values and his deep commitment to family. 

Funeral services will be held Tuesday, January 21, 2025 at St. Stanislaus Roman Catholic Church, 51 Lansdale Avenue, Lansdale, PA where Stephen and Irene were parishioners for over 52 years. Visitation begins at 10 a.m. followed by Mass at 11 a.m. Interment is private at a later date. 

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Stephen’s memory to St. Stanislaus Roman Catholic Church.
