Stephanie had an infectious love for life, complemented by her distinctive fondness for hairspray, sparkles, and perfume.

A true enthusiast of many interests, Stephanie loved watching true crime stories, adventures on the open road riding alongside her husband on his Harley, and participating in biker clubs with travels to the famed Sturgis rallies. Hawaii held a special place in her heart, representing a cherished escape and source of joy. Additionally, she was a dedicated lover of Chihuahuas, caring for many over the years and always delighted by their companionship.
