Stephanie was a homemaker. She was an avid reader, her favorites being romance novels and thrillers. Stephanie took pride in her home; keeping the yard mowed to perfection and caring for her flowers brought her joy. She could often be found watching "Jurassic Park", "Law and Order", and "NCIS." A talented cook, Stephanie enjoyed preparing meals that would bring her loved ones together around the dinner table. Her pot roast, ox tail soup, and goulash were among family favorites. These dishes were more than just meals; they were an expression of her love and a centerpiece for gathering and making memories. Above all, the most cherished moments for Stephanie were those spent with her beloved grandchildren. Every second spent with them was treasured, and she instilled in them a sense of wonder and joy that mirrored her own. Stephanie will be missed by all who knew her.
