Stephanie Good Obituary

GOOD, Stephanie Ann (Jones) On September 6, 2007 in Pembroke Pines, FL at age 59, Stevie ended her valiant quest to live her life as fully and well as her fatal disease allowed. That quest must be acquitted a glorious success. Born in Portsmouth, Ohio September 24, 1947 to Herbert Henry Jones and Patricia Brushart Jones, she grew up in Grandview and Upper Arlington, Ohio and attended Columbus College of Art & Design. Lived happily in San Francisco, CA for over 30 years before moving to Florida. Preceded in death by her father; and younger sister, Cassandra Murphy (David). Survived by her mother; brother, Henry Jones (Tina); sisters, Jessica Hutson (Ross); Constance Garish (Tom); Caroline Lucas (Jeff); and her loving husband, Bruce; and daughter, Rachel Good. With an artistic eye, an engaging smile and a generous spirit, Stevie created beauty in her surroundings and inspired her family and numerous friends toward hope, humor and humanity. Those who knew her are encouraged to honor her memory with a gracious gesture, an act of kindness or a heartfelt message of forgiveness to another human being.

What a beautiful picture of such a wonderful person. A true lady and a classy individual. Although we only saw each other occassionally, John and I loved her humor and special outlook on life.

Dear Bruce and Rachel,
I am so sorry to hear that Stephanie is gone. The drawing in the SF Chronicle Sunday captured the perfect likeness of the beautiful, sweet, loving person I knew in the sixties in San Francisco when Mikie, Brenda and Jerry and Jeffrey Cohen were friends. You were lucky to have her. Blessings and Love.

Dear Bruce and Rachel,

What a wonderful person you've been fortunate to have in your lives, and for Stephanie to have both of you in hers. I'll always remember how our five minute conversations lasted half an hour in the middle of the street. Dick and I will have fond memories of a wonderful neighbor.

Bruce and Rachel...My husband and I were also Stephanie's classmates at GHS. Though we didn't know her well, it was clear that she was a very special person then. In the early 80's when we were in San Francisco for a few days, we called her just to catch up and she was so warm and friendly. I always hoped we'd see her at a class reunion. I'm so happy that Stephanie had the support of a loving family and our thoughts and prayers are with you. Much aloha, Tom & Kathy (Anderson) Holden

Bruce and Rachel,

We felt so privileged to have known Stephanie. She had a spirit and vivaciousness that we both admired and were drawn to. We always gravitated toward Stephanie because of her magnetism and wit. She had the ability to make one feel as if they'd always known her.

Although we will miss her, the legacy she left in her quest to enjoy life to the fullest will always live on.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Bruce and Rachel, I graduated from Grandview High School with Stephanie. She was as beautiful inside as she was on the outside. Senior year we had several dates, I was so nervous I am not sure I even talked on our first date. She was way ahead of her time in every thing she did. I missed her through the years and often thought about her. She is in a better place today. My prayers and thoughts are with you. Nick Cardi

I attended Grandview High School with Stephanie Jones. Gosh, she was beautiful, and she was nice. The guys all had a crush on her, and the girls all envied her. I think someone wrote a song about her. I was honored to be her friend, but somehow lost touch with her. She was very special, and I wish I could have known her beyond high school. Prayers and love to her family. Linda Pulliam Sayers, Winston-Salem, NC

Dear Bruce and Rachel,

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Even though we did not know Stephanie well, Paul and I, as well as Lisa and her family, have fond memories of her when we were all together at our parents' wedding and your father's memorial service.
