Stephanie leaves behind her beloved husband, Lucas Allen; children, Ava and Braden, and joins her firstborn daughter Iris in heaven. Stephanie was raised by Bill and Cathy (Tocco) Smith of Kokomo, Indiana. Stephanie graduated from Indiana University in 2002 and then faithfully supported as a loving Air Force spouse who sacrificed for our country for 18 years. Finally Stephanie became a real estate agent for eXp Realty and real estate was a true passion. If you ever met Stephanie you know how special she was, and how she touched so many lives. Steph’s infectious smile would draw you in, and her outward beauty did not even come close to her internal beauty. Stephanie was a follower of Christ. She cared deeply for others, and her kids were her everything. She chose for many years to stay home with her kids to love and nurture them because being a mom was of utmost importance to her. Stephanie touched countless lives across the Air Force and within her family and friends.
