Stephanie Nicole Lopez

Stephanie Nicole Lopez, a loving mother, daughter, sister, and friend, left this world unexpectedly on July 6, 2025, at the age of 44, in her hometown of Phoenix, Arizona. Born on July 23, 1980, Stephanie filled her life with vibrant compassion and a deep love for those around her.

Stephanie was a dedicated & long time employee of "Residence Inn by Marriott", a role she approached with genuine enthusiasm and a desire to help others. Her passion for service extended beyond her work; she spent considerable time volunteering, embodying a spirit of kindness and selflessness that touched everyone she encountered. Her compassion wasn’t limited to people alone; Stephanie had a special place in her heart for animals, especially dogs, showcasing her nurturing nature in all aspects of her life.

She attended Thunderbird High School in Phoenix, where the seeds of her caring personality began to flourish. Friends and family remember her radiant smile and the warmth she brought into any room. Stephanie’s energy was infectious, and her home was always a place where laughter and support flourished.

Her love was most profoundly expressed through her children—Alexandria "Moni," Cynthia, Sarina, Aiden, and Isabela—and her grandchildren, Ava, Dominic, Anthony, and Lana. Each of them held a piece of her heart, and she lived to make their lives richer and fuller. The bond she shared with her children and grandchildren was unparalleled, showing the kind of love and dedication that created lifelong memories.

Stephanie is survived by her father, Luis Lopez; her brothers, Luise and Andre; her sister, Erica; and her children and grandchildren, who will carry forth her loving legacy. She is preceded in death by her beloved mother, Sally Lopez, and her son Joshua Lopez, both of whom she cherished deeply.

In honoring Stephanie's memory, her family invites friends and loved ones to join together for a visitation at Avenidas Funeral Chapel in Avondale, Arizona, on July 25, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, followed by a burial service at Holy Cross Cemetery, beginning at 12:30 PM.

As we remember Stephanie Nicole Lopez, we will carry her spirit in our hearts—a spirit of compassion, dedication, and unconditional love that will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know her. Rest in peace, dear Stephanie; you will be missed but never forgotten.
