Stephanie Elaine Stange, beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend, passed away on May 29, 2025, in Denison, Texas, at the age of 55.
Born on October 30, 1969, Stephanie lived a life marked by dedication, strength, and an unwavering passion for excellence. She earned her Doctorate of Chiropractic Medicine from Parker University and served her patients with compassion and commitment throughout her career.
Beyond her professional accomplishments, Stephanie was a celebrated athlete and an accomplished waterskier. She held regional slalom records and proudly claimed three national championship titles, leaving a lasting legacy in the waterskiing community.
Stephanie's greatest pride, however, was her family. She is survived by her devoted husband, Dave Stange; her loving children, Griffin Stange and Parker Stange; her cherished mother, Judy McFadden; and her brother, Jason Mulkey. She was preceded in death by those whose memories she carried with grace and love throughout her life.
Known for her vibrant spirit, fierce determination, and the warmth she brought into every room, Stephanie touched countless lives and will be profoundly missed by all who knew her.
Her legacy lives on through her family, her achievements, and the strength of character she instilled in those around her.
A graveside service will be held this Friday, June 6 at 4:00 PM at Holloway Cemetery, located across the street from Bentcreek Ski Lakes.
In honor of Stephanie's love for water skiing and cycling, all attendees are encouraged to wear their favorite water ski or bicycle attire.
A celebration of Stephanie's life will follow at the Stange house, down by the sand volleyball court.
We would love to collect and share some of your favorite photos of Stephanie. Please post here.
In addition, a foundation is being set up to honor Stephanie and support the sports that she loved. We will be sending details on how to donate in the next couple of days. The family is requesting donations for this charity in lieu of flowers.

I met Stephanie on the mountain bike trails at Binkley Park a couple years ago. She was so friendly and super helpful navigating the new section of trails. I have followed her on Strava and know what a good cyclist and mt bike rider she was. So so sad to hear about what happened. Prayers to her family and friends.
