Stephanie Yessenia Burger
It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Stephanie Yessenia Burger, who left us far too soon on June 18, 2025, in Ocala, Florida, at the age of 30. Born in Tampa on July 26, 1994, Stephanie brought light, laughter, and kindness into the world in a way few others could.
A devoted stay-at-home mother, Stephanie poured her heart into her two beloved daughters, Saphire Stafford and Harley Quintero. Her home was filled with love, warmth, and boundless affection. Stephanie had a heart as big as the sky—she always thought of others before herself, and her smile and laughter could brighten even the darkest day.
She found peace and happiness in the outdoors, campingand in gardening, where she felt most connected to the beauty of life. Stephanie was also a passionate animal lover who adored her dogs Sweetie and Gremlin, treating them as family. Her gentle spirit and joyful presence made her a source of comfort and strength to those around her.
Stephanie is survived by her life partner, Christopher Quintero; her daughters, Saphire Stafford and Harley Quintero; her brother, Frankie Gomez; her mother, Paquita Ramos Zamora; and many extended family members and friends who will carry her memory in their hearts.
She was preceded in death by her father, Robert Burger, her grandmother, Victoria Ramos Zamora , grandfatherSantiago Ramos Zamora, and her Uncle Ronald Ramos Zamora all of whom she loved dearly and who now welcome her with open arms.
Her life was a testament to love, loyalty, and compassion. Though her time with us was brief, her impact will endure in the hearts of all who knew her.
A private cremation was held at Monarch Crematory in Ocala. A celebration of Stephanie’s life will take place on Saturday, July 12, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at MacDonald Funeral Home, 10520 N Florida Ave, Tampa, FL 33612. All who loved Stephanie are welcome to attend and share in remembering her beautiful soul.
Her memory lives on—in her daughters, in the laughter she brought, and in the love she gave so freely.
