Forget the "2016 vs now" social media trend - we're throwing it ALL the way back to 2006! CONGRATULATIONS are in order for Nathan and Valerie, as they mark 20 years of ownership!
After college and a few years in the workforce, Nathan and Valerie returned to their hometown in 2000 to give back to the community that helped shape them. In 2006, they took a big leap, purchased the business, and renamed it Stephens Funeral Service. Fast-forward to today, and their dedication has turned it into so much more than a funeral home—it’s a place of comfort, compassion, and care when families need it most.
Through two decades of service, countless families helped, (and maybe few extra gray hairs earned along the way) Nathan and Valerie have shown what commitment truly looks like. Somehow, while Nathan has collected his “experience highlights,” Valerie has clearly mastered the art of not aging at all.
Thank you both for your heart, your hard work, and the lasting impact you’ve made on the Redwood Falls, Walnut Grove, Westbrook, and Tracy communities.
🍾🎉Here’s to 20 years of service—and a glow-up that goes far beyond any trend.
