Born on February 7, 1988, in San Clemente, California. Stephanie was one of three children. She is survived by her beloved son, Jeramiah Rudd, her sister, Shanice Gooden, her mother, Vivencia Barnayha, and her father, Ricardo Martinez.
Stephanie cherished spending time with her loved ones and creating lasting memories. Her greatest pride was being the best mother she could be to Jeramiah. She was his biggest supporter, always there for him, whether it was enjoying a sushi date or simply cuddling at home. These moments were the most precious to her.
In 2022, Stephanie received an unexpected diagnosis of colon cancer. From that moment on, she demonstrated unwavering strength and determination, fighting the disease with courage until the very end. While her passing leaves a void in the hearts of those who loved her, they find comfort knowing she is at peace in God's hands and free from suffering.
