Stephanie J. (Trott) Schehl, 57, of Bedford, passed away on Tuesday, May 30, 2017 surrounded by her loving family following a five year battle with ALS.

Born in Manchester, she was the daughter of the late William and Joyce (Lefebvre) Trott. Raised and educated in Manchester, she worked as a dental assistant for Calvin Dental Associates for over 20 years. Stephanie’s gentle touch and calming demeanor demonstrated her dedication to her patients.
