Stephanie Mass was, above all, a devoted mother to her two children, Jayden (15) and Arielle (4). She was a true mama bear for her children—fiercely protective, always putting their needs first, and unwavering in her love. Stephanie’s warmth and kindness extended to everyone around her—her mom Elsa, dad Angel, significant other Will, and all her friends and family who felt her caring spirit every day.

Stephanie’s love for caring for others was core to who she was. She always had a kind word and cared deeply for everyone’s well-being. From being a listening ear or shoulder to cry on, to making everyone feel important, Stephanie’s presence was a source of comfort and strength. Her witty humor, infectious giggle, and childlike wonder made her a bright light in any room, and she had a way of making everyone feel loved.

At work, Stephanie was a true friend and a positive force, always fostering a supportive team environment. The sudden and tragic loss of Stephanie on Christmas Eve has left her family and friends in shock, especially given the timing and the lasting impact on her children. While no amount of money can bring comfort or replace what has been lost, it is something we can offer to help Jayden and Arielle cope and provide for their future. We are asking friends, colleagues, and kind strangers to help support Stephanie’s family during this difficult time. Any contribution will make a difference for Jayden and Arielle, and will help ensure that Stephanie’s legacy of love and care continues through her children.
