Stephanie will be missed. She was very welcoming and kind when we moved into the neighborhood. We often had long conversations in our yards in summertime and she always shared her good gardening tips. She always had the most beautiful poppies and a green thumb. We will also miss her quick wit. Sending her family our deepest sympathies. - Posted by: Laura (Neighbor and Friend) on: Mar 26, 2025

I did not know Stephanie, however, I know her sister Veronica. The 2 Sisters looked alike. Knowing Veronica; one can safely assume Stephanie was a fine, giving, gentle soul like Veronica. It is sad to know Veronica has lost her dear sister. I give my sincere condolences to all of the family at this difficult time. 😔 - Posted by: Colleen McGee (Friend of Family) on: Mar 25, 2025
