Stephanie was a loving and compassionate person who enjoyed time with her family. She had the most beautiful smile that could light up your soul. She loved camping, the beach, sitting outside, and going to the mountains. She loved cooking.  She was always making special dishes.  Her stubborn, yet loving and caring personality meant that she fought for her kids and hard for her life over the past several years.

Most of all she loved and adored her children and her husband, they were her world. If you were lucky enough to be present when she gazed into her children’s faces, the pure joy radiating from her would blind you. Stephanie wanted nothing more for them than to have a wonderful life.

She moved to Lake City, Florida as a child and graduated from Columbia High School in 1991.

She would have wanted you to spend time with your children, take a walk on the beach with your loved ones, and enjoy an out of the way cafe. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

Memorial service will be held on Saturday, March 30, 2019 at 4:00 pm in the Chapel of Flanigan Funeral home, Buford, GA. with the Rev. Larry Wynn officiating.
