Stephanie was a bright and bubbly light in the world, always greeting us with a big smile. Her energy filled the room when at work and play. She reveled in life with her adoring husband and being a dog mom. We value our decades of friendship and will continue to remember all the good times we had together, as well as the mutual support during life challenges.
