To anyone who knew Stephanie, she was a rock to lean on, helping anyone who needed anything no matter the circumstance. She was also a pillar of love and strength to her family. Her laugh was infectious, and she made everyone around her smile. She enjoyed adventure, including skydiving with her husband and taking the road with her daughter, sister and friends to wherever it might lead, seeing joy in getting lost and wandering to find her way home. She especially loved the beach where the warm sun could shine on her beautiful smile. She will be sorely missed by those she leaves behind.
