It is with the heaviest heart that we share that our beloved Stephanie passed away on the morning of July 26, 2025, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. She took her final breath with her daughter and closest friend by her side, holding her hand, singing her favorite song, and praying over her. There, in the fullness of God’s grace, we believe a long-awaited reunion took place between mother and son—Stephanie and Eli—together again.

Stephanie was more than a fighter—she was a force of grace, resilience, and unwavering love. A single mother to twins, she carried the weight of loss and the fight for her life with quiet strength and dignity. Even through pain, she gave everything to her children, especially her daughter Ivy and her young granddaughter, who carry her light forward.

So many of you have reached out with love, prayers, and support—and we’re deeply grateful. If you feel moved to continue honoring Stephanie’s memory, this GoFundMe will remain open to support her surviving daughter and granddaughter as they navigate this unimaginable loss and rebuild life in her absence.

Stephanie gave everything she had. Let this be our way of giving back—to hold up the ones she loved most, the way she always held up everyone else.

Thank you for standing with us in this tender time. Please continue to share memories, messages, or simply take a moment to remember Stephanie’s warmth, her laughter, and her light. She was truly one of a kind.
