Stephanie was a devoted and loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend. She gave her time unconditionally to all those she loved. She worked part-time at the Xenia YMCA for almost 16 years. She thrived on helping patrons stay physically healthy while making a strong emotional connection with them and she created an environment where friendships flourished. Volleyball was a big part of her life from the time she was in middle school, but what she loved most was being on the sideline coaching and cheering for her boys. She coached them for over 10 years and ended her coaching time at Archbishop Carroll High School. At Carroll, she served not only as Coach but also as the extra Mom or friend on the sideline. She was loved by her fellow coaches and players over the years.

Where her heart was most dedicated, and she served so beautifully, was at home for her family. She willingly and sacrificially, loved her husband and kids. She supported them all daily, and would not have wanted it any other way. She was excited to celebrate all their achievements, hold them up in their trials, and was always their biggest cheerleader. Through her example of love to her children, her husband, her extended family, and her friends; she showed us how to love like Jesus. She will be forever missed here on earth, but her legacy will carry on.
