Dylan and Ella Education Fund

On Monday, February 13, 2023, our family was heartbroken by the loss of our beloved Stephanie after a long and courageous fight against cancer.

In September 2021, Stephanie was diagnosed with stage 4 Bile Duct Cancer, a rare disease, especially for someone as young as 35 years old. Throughout the entire process, she stayed strong and brave for her two children, Dylan (13) and Ella (5).

Stephanie’s joy in life was being a mom, and she worked hard to provide for her children. She was at her happiest when spending time with them and the rest of her family. Stephanie always wanted more for her kids, and it was her dream for them to go to college and amount to great things in their lives.

Many people have asked to make monetary contributions, and the best way to accept them would be to benefit Dylan and Ella’s educations. All contributions will be directly deposited into a 529 Plan for Dylan and Ella. A 529 Plan is an investment account used to pay for qualified education expenses for designated beneficiaries. It can be used to pay for K-12 education, as well as college or apprenticeship programs.

We truly feel this will be the best way to honor Stephanie’s dreams for her children. We sincerely thank you all for the love and support you have shown our family during this extremely difficult time.
