Stephanie Rigsby Obituary
Being of Christian faith, Stephanie, age 62, went to be with her Lord and Savior on April 11, 2025 in Beaumont, TX.
She was a graduate of Sulphur High School and attended McNeese State University. Stephanie was a fun, loving spirit who loved life and was devoted to all that knew her. Spending time and making memories with her grandchildren completed her days. She never lost her compassion for music or the enjoyment of her pets.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Larry and Donnie Faye Richardson; brother in law, Larry Roach, Jr.; and a niece, Lauren Anne Roach.
Cremation was entrusted to Johnson Funeral Home. A celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, May 3, 2025 at Leslie’s home from 3:00 PM until 6:00 PM.
-When my last breath is gone and my heart beats its last, my Lord Jesus will be with me there to take me. -
