Stephanie was born on December 19, 1970 to Bob and Carol Yarmo at Menorah Hospital in Kansas City, MO. She grew up in Overland Park and attended Shawnee Mission South High School. She graduated from the University of Texas in 1993 (Phi Beta Kappa) and later earned her Master’s degree from UMKC. She was always active as a leader throughout her life. She was involved in student council, Sigma Delta Tau sorority, planning high school reunions, and her children’s school activities. Her curious, inquisitive, and persistent spirit led to many close and life-long friendships.
Stephanie first became friends with her future husband, Bobby Boresow, at the age of 14. Their friendship grew and their 25 years of marriage were filled with love, commitment, dedication and devotion. She took tremendous pride in raising their two beautiful daughters, Ali and Gracie, who were the absolute joys of her life. Their happiness and success is what mattered most to her and helped sustain and give her strength. Her girls will carry on her kind, thoughtful, and loving spirit.
Stephanie was known to all her friends and family for her sweet and caring heart. She was the glue that held her friends together. She was deeply interested in whoever she was talking to, asking question after question to better understand who they were. She had a sincere interest in people and seemed to know everyone in Kansas City. She took on meaningful professional roles in her career including non-profit community service, health care, and most recently working with senior adults. Her genuine and deep love for others will be remembered by everyone who knew her.
Stephanie was preceded in death by her brothers in-law, Dennis Boresow and Mark Boresow and her nieces, Abby Glaser and Eloise Holt.
