Stephanie Torres Obituary

Stephanie "Xanadu" Torres was born January 15th 1986 and passed away on September 29th 2015 in her Las Cruces home. Stephanie had fainted and had already passed when the paramedics arrived. Stephanie left behind her parents Carmen and Sal Torres, her brother Sal Torres, and an enormous group of friends and family from all over the nation that all love and miss her dearly. Stephanie was known by many as one of the top competitive eaters in the nation. She had a knack for reaching out and showing friends and family that each one was special and loved, and those lucky individuals will carry that piece of Stephanie with them throughout the rest of their lives.
