Stephanie Deritis Obituary
Stephanie was born on May 11, 1972, in Arlington, TX, to the union of Fred and Mary Ragsdale. She loved working as a general manager of Pizza Hut for many years before her health began to decline. She was an avid cat lover. Stephanie was one of most caring, loving, and kindest people you would have ever met. She would drop anything she was doing if you needed help. She enjoyed listening to some good ol' George Strait, taking trips traveling with her best friend, Chris, and watching the dragon fly's. In her childhood, Stephanie and her cousin, Christy, were inseparable. Together they ran around the neighborhood and shared many laughs and fond memories. She will be deeply missed by all that knew her.
Stephanie was preceded in death by her mother, Mary Ragsdale.
Stephanie is survived by her significant other, Chris Mattia; two sisters, A. Catherine and Christy Pitts (Judy); one brother, David Pitts (Catherine); one uncle, Billy Pitts; and father, Fred Ragsdale.
Creation arrangements are under the special direction of Parker Mortuary.
