I, CAROL ANN RIPKA, Social Security Number 192-44-6302, of the &mmonw~th
of Pennsylvania, declare that this is my LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT and I revoke all other
wills and codicils previously made by me.
I. I appoint my brother, ROBERT BOONE as my Personal Representative concerning
this Will. If my brother, ROBERT BOONE is unable or fails to serve, I then appoint my son,
KEVIN PAUL STEM to serve as my Personal Representative.
A. I request that my Personal Representative be permitted to serve without bond or
surety thereon and without the intervention of any court, except as required by law. I direct that
my Personal Representative act in unsupervised administration so as to administer my estate with
a minimum of court supervision. If it becomes necessary to have ancillary administration of my
estate in any jurisdiction where my Personal Representative is unable or does not desire to
qualify as ancillary legal representative, I appoint as such ancillary legal representative such
individual or corporation as my Personal Representative shall designate, in writing.
B. I direct my Personal Representative to pay the expenses of my last illness, the
expenses of a funeral appropriate to my station in life and custom of living (including a suitable
monument or marker for my grave), and written charitable pledges which I have made. I grant
my Personal Representative the power to extend or renew any debt for such time as my Personal
Representative shall deem appropriate.
C. All estate, inheritance, succession and other death taxes with respect to all property
passing under this my Will shall be paid from and borne by the principal of my residuary estate,
without regard to reimbursement, as if such taxes were administration expenses. My Personal
Representative may pay such taxes at any time deemed advisable, whether or not then due and
payable.
D. My Personal Representative is requested to settle my estate as soon after my death as
may be practicable, and to payor deliver every legacy or bequest to my beneficiaries without
waiting any time that may be believed to be customary in probate matters.

E. I may leave a letter of intent with the executed copy of this Will for the purpose of
giving guidance to my Personal Representative concerning the distribution or sale of certain
items of my property. I request, but do not require, that my Personal Representative honor my
wishes therein expressed.
II. I give, devise and bequeath, absolutely and forever, all of my estate and property of
which I may be seized or possessed, or to which I may be entitled, at the time of my death,
wherever situated or of whatever nature, be it real, personal, or mixed, to my son, KEVIN PAUL
STEM as his sole and absolute property if he shall survive me.
III. In the event that the above named individual shall not survive me, I give, devise and
bequeath, absolutely and forever, all of my estate and property of which I may be seized or
possessed, or to which I may be entitled, at the time of my death, wherever situated or of
whatever nature, be it real, personal, or mixed, to my friend, RUBY JoANN URICH as her sole
and absolute property if she shall survive me.
IV. In the event that no previously named beneficiary shall survive me, I give, devise and
bequeath, absolutely and forever, all of my estate and property of which I may be seized or
possessed, or to which I may be entitled, at the time of my death, wherever situated or of
whatever nature, be it real, personal, or mixed, to my son, KENNETH LEROY STEM, my
daughter, LISA LOUISE HEPNER, and my daughter, SHANNON LYNN REIDEL, in shares of
substantially equal value to be divided as they may agree.
A. If any of the persons named above in this paragraph shall not survive me, then the
share of that deceased person shall go to the descendants of that person, who are to take per
stirpes and not per capita. If any of the persons named above in this paragraph shall not survive
me and shall not be survived by any descendants, then the share of that deceased person shall be
distributed to those persons named above in this paragraph who survive me and the descendants
of any of the persons named above in this paragraph who fail to survive me, in the manner set
forth above.
B. If they are unable to agree, the division among the persons named above in this
paragraph and the descendants of any of those persons named above in this paragraph who fail to
survive me shall be made by my Personal Representative, in that person's sole and absolute
discretion. I empower my Personal Representative to sell any or all of such property, if such
property is not distributed in kind hereunder, and to distribute the proceeds among the
beneficiaries under this paragraph in substantially equal shares. Any determination of my
Personal Representative as to what should pass or be sold under this paragraph and to whom it
should pass or be delivered or at what price it should be sold shall be conclusive.
V. Except as otherwise provided in this Will, I have intentionally failed to provide for any
other relatives or other persons, whether claiming to be an heir of mine or not. Insofar as I have
failed to provide in this Will for any of my issue now living or later born or adopted, such failure
is intentional and not occasioned by accident or mistake.

J1L~ ~
VI. Any beneficiary who fails to survive until One Hundred and Twenty (120) hours after
my death shall be deemed to have predeceased me, and the gift to that beneficiary shall be
disposed of accordingly.
VII. Definitions: A. The term "per stirpes" as used in this Will means that whenever
a distribution is to be made to the descendants of any person, the property to be distributed shall
be divided into as many shares as there are (1) living children of the person, and (2) deceased
children, who left descendants who are then living, of the person. Each living child (if any) shall
take one share and the share of each deceased child shall be divided among his then living
descendants in the same manner.
B. The term "Personal Representative" as used in this Will shall have the same meaning
as Executor, Executrix, Independent Executor, or any other title of like import which is used to
describe such a fiduciary.
VIII. In addition to any powers granted by the laws of the jurisdiction in which this Will is
probated, I hereby authorize and empower the fiduciaries named in this Will, to the extent of the
discretion herein granted, to sell, exchange, convey, transfer, assign, mortgage, pledge, lease or
rent the whole or any part of my real or personal estate, to invest, reinvest, or retain investments
of my estate, to perform all acts and to execute all documents which my fiduciaries may deem
necessary or proper in regard to my property. If any of my fiduciaries elect to receive
compensation for services, such compensation will be that allowed by law.
IX. If any part of this Will shall be invalid, illegal, or inoperative for any reason, it is my
intention that the remaining parts, so far as possible and reasonable, shall be effective and fully
operative. My Personal Representative may seek and obtain court instructions for the purpose of
carrying out as nearly as may be possible the intention of this Will as shown by the terms hereof,
including any terms held invalid, illegal, or inoperative.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have at CARLISLE:, tl:)JtJS'r'l.VANf A
on CJ ,)A/IJ\/A({'( :;...mO , set my hand and seal to this my LAST WILL
AND TESTAMENT, consisting of -5- typewritten pages, each page bearing my handwritten
