Stephanie Garvelli Obituary

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Stephanie Garvelli, a beloved mother, daughter, sister, friend, and member of the Victoria community. Stephanie passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, strength, and unwavering love for those around her.

Born in Ridgeway, PA and raised in Victoria, Texas, Stephanie was known for her warm heart and infectious laughter. She touched the lives of many through her compassion, her dedication to family and friends, and her ability to bring light into any room she entered.

Stephanie had a deep appreciation for life's simple joys-whether it was spending time with loved ones and friends, enjoying craft fairs, or lending a helping hand to those in need. Her resilience and grace in the face of life's challenges were an inspiration to all who knew her.

Stephanie is survived by her daughter Maya, her devoted parents Joe and Char of Fischer, Texas, her brothers Joe (Blake) of Waco and Greg (Rubi) of San Antonio, nieces and nephews, and a wide circle of friends whose lives she enriched. Each person who knew Stephanie carries a piece of her within their hearts.

A celebration of Stephanie's life will be held in Victoria with details to be shared by the family at a later date. In lieu of flowers (which Stephanie was not a fan of), the family kindly requests that donations be made to help her daughter with expenses (PayPal: @mayagarvelli) or to a charity of your choice in Stephanie's honor.

Those wishing to contact her parents, Char(Francis) and Joe Garvelli, may write to them at 1551 Soaring Eagle Drive, Fischer TX 78623

I still can not believe you are gone. You are now pain-free and completely restored.
God decided your work here was done and he called you home.
You had the easy part, we now have the hard part of going on without you.

The amount of love you showed to everyone is seen by the amount of people who are grieving and missing you.
You were loved beyond measure.

Your light will be missed. Rest easy my friend we have it from here.
