Stephanie Ann Reiley, age 91, born on September 2, 1934, in Pittsburgh, PA, passed away peacefully in her sleep at home in Roosevelt, Utah, on January 23, 2026.
Her family would like to express their deep gratitude to Canyon Hospice, most especially to Nadine, Jocelyn, and Sandy for the kindness and compassion they showed in their care of Stephanie in the final 6 months of her life.
Stephanie had a fulfilling career as a medical/chemical technologist that afforded her the flexibility to travel and experience new places. She earned her Medical Technologist certificate, showcasing her commitment to both education and her career.
Stephanie was not shy about expressing her feelings and often spoke candidly about her thoughts and beliefs.
Known for her generous nature, Stephanie was always willing to lend a hand and help however she could. She loved her family very much, but more than that, she loved God. Her faith in God was evident; she often spoke to Him and shared her conviction with those around her. She grew up in the Catholic Church and loved the faith. She also found joy in attending the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with one of her sons and his family. Some of her favorite hymns included "How Great Thou Art" and "I Am a Child of God," reflecting her deep spiritual convictions.
In her leisure time, Stephanie enjoyed sewing, quilting, and embroidering. She found great satisfaction in creating beautiful pieces and loved sharing them with others. She enjoyed ceramics as well. She could frequently be found putting together puzzles or playing puzzle games which she felt were important for her brain health. Stephanie loved to read and watch movies, particularly those about biblical characters. She also had a sweet tooth, enjoying ice cream, colas, and cookies. Travel was another passion of hers, allowing her to create lasting memories with family and friends while enjoying the beautiful sites of the world.
Stephanie was proud of her family's accomplishments, often supporting them by attending various performances and sporting competitions.
