Tena M Gallagher, 62, passed away peacefully on June 20, 2019 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania at her home after a courageous battle with breast cancer.

Born December 8, 1956 in Harrisburg, she was the daughter of Robert and June Gallagher.

Tena lived her life with an entrepreneurial spirit. This resulted in her owning and operating many
businesses that spanned industries including administrative support, owning a restaurant, being a
personal assistant and most recently designing jewelry. She was passionate about caring for others, this
country, politics and above all else, family. She was creative, fun, witty, full of ideas, and measured
success by the impact she had on others. She lived in Florida and California for many years before
returning to Pennsylvania to spend more time with her greatest source of pride, her grandson Caine.

In addition to her parents, she is survived by her son, JC Stepp, daughter in law Andrea
Fazzolari and grandson Caine Stepp. Her sister Teianna (Todd) Librandi of Middletown, brothers
Robert (Mary Lou) Gallagher of Harrisburg and Rockney Gallagher of FL, numerous nieces and nephews,
great nieces and great nephews, an uncle, aunts, cousins and friends.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to Hospice of Central Pennsylvania or the cancer center at
UPMC Pinnacle Community Osteopathic Hospital. Her family will hold a private celebration of her life on September 8, 2019.
