Malcolm L. Stephens Jr. ’49

Malcolm, a lifelong resident of St. Augustine, Fla., died Jan. 30, 2016.

Malcolm attended Princeton for a short time after his service in the Army, and then earned a law degree from Stetson University in 1952. After a year as a research assistant for the Supreme Court of Florida in Tallahassee, he returned to St. Augustine and began his legal practice, which continued for more than five decades.

Malcolm served his community in many significant ways. A past president of the St. John’s County Bar Association, he was a senior warden of Trinity Episcopal Church as well as a licensed lay reader. He was a master Mason and a Shriner, as well as a valued member of Kiwanis Club, Toastmasters International, and the St. Augustine Yacht Club, where he served as commodore. He was also a former trustee of Flagler Hospital. Truly a life well lived!

He is survived by his children, Susan, Lisa, and Malcolm III; and three stepchildren. His first wife, Barbara Luff Stephens, predeceased him, and he subsequently married Georganna Sutton Stephens, who survives him. We offer our condolences to Malcolm’s wife, children, six grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
