Stephanie First, 54, of Pembroke Pines, Florida, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 18, 2025.
Stephanie is survived by her Mother Cynthia Hilton, her brother Troy Hilton (Michelle), beloved nieces and nephew Jessica, Justin, and Breanna, and 5 great nieces and nephew as well as Bill First.
Stephanie was a light in the lives of everyone who knew her. As the Director of Calvary Kids Preschool, she saw her work as more than just a job-it was her ministry, her calling, and her way of sharing the gospel with the children and families she served. Her passion for nurturing young hearts and minds left a lasting impact on so many.
Beyond her dedication to her work, Stephanie embraced life with joy and enthusiasm. She loved the beach, the thrill of roller coasters, and, most of all, spending time with her family and friends. Her warmth, kindness, and unwavering love made her the most loving person to all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Though her time with us was far too short, her legacy of love and faith will continue to live on in the countless lives she touched. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
