Stephanie Bay

1969 - 2023

Stephanie Bay, 53 of Mountain Home was a cherished wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend, who departed this world too soon on Aug. 19, 2023. She lived a life that was as vibrant and free-spirited as the wind, leaving an everlasting mark on all those who had the privilege of knowing her.

Born on Sept. 12, 1969, Stephanie lived her life to the fullest. Her heart was full of love, happiness and joy. She was always smiling and had an infectious laugh.

When she met Joe Deen, she really began to live. That infectious laugh grew more and more and was shared between the two of them. Theirs was a special love and bond, and the two quickly became inseparable. Rarely was one seen without the other.

Together their adventurous spirit led them both on countless journeys, exploring with a sense of wonder and excitement that few get to embrace.

She also enjoyed cooking and baking amazing food for her family. She and Joe loved hunting, fishing, gardening and riding motorcycles. She loved spending quality time with the entire family and boasting about her children and grandchildren whom she loved dearly.

Stephanie was a beacon of light to her family and friends. Her nurturing and selfless nature defined her role as a mother, and her love knew no bounds. Joe and her children were not just recipients of her amazing cooking, affection and support, but witnesses to her unwavering enthusiasm for life and love.

"As we remember Stephanie, let us celebrate the joy and vitality she brought into all our lives. Though her sudden departure leaves a void, her legacy of embracing each moment with passion and living authentically will continue to inspire us"
