Stephanie Anne Dispoto

Our beloved sister, mother, grandmother and longtime friend to many of her schoolmates, friends and coworkers passed away May 06, 2023 after a terrible bout with cancer. Born in Delano California the fifth of six children to the late Bruno and Mary Jo Dispoto. Stephanie graduated from Delano High School in 1978 and voted “Most Humorous” her Senior year. After graduation she moved to the Los Angeles California area where she went to work in the Fashion and Travel Industries. She returned to Delano in the late 1990’s where her two daughters Martina and Julianna were born. After a few years she moved to Colorado Springs Colorado to make a new life for herself and her daughters. Already possessing the “gift of gab” she charged into the Sales Industry where many found out it was hard to resist her or say “no” when you had a sales call from Stephanie. She always brought smiles to her co-workers and would always lend a hand or reassurances to her team. She always had stories of her musical interests starting with early childhood with The Monkees, David Cassidy which later followed with Elton John and Bruce Springsteen. Who could resist smiling when she told of her writings for the Davy Jones Newsletter or trips with her children or friends to see her favorites in concert. Stephanie was a fighter who when faced with a challenge would rise to meet that challenge, never complaining and seek the win/win for all.

Determined to keep her daughters together and provide a loving home she had a network of support from friends, family and co-workers. Her way of having friends everywhere that came in different phases and times they were never far away from a card, text or e-mail.

Stephanie leaves behind her two daughters Martina Duran (Colorado Springs, CO) and Julianna Valdez (Highlands Ranch, CO), granddaughter Holly Duran (Colorado Springs, CO). Her remaining siblings include brothers Martin Dispoto (Delano, CA), Bruno Dispoto (Littleton, CO), Roger Dispoto (Colorado Springs, CO), sister Jacqueline Dispoto (Fairbanks, AK). Her sister Julia Jo Dispoto preceeded her in death in 2012. Many cousins, nieces, nephews, close friends and co-workers will remember her as well.
