Stephanie was an amazing, young woman who found humor in life. She enjoyed making people happy and went out of her way to make them laugh. Stephanie was a humanitarian who advocated for abandoned cats and dogs living in shelters. She provided food for stray cats and dogs in the neighborhood and worked with local rescue groups to care for homeless cats and dogs to find loving forever homes. She hated the thought of them living in cages. She was a loving, generous and caring person. Her kindness, loyalty, and fierce dedication to family will always be remembered. Her family misses her desperately!

Stephanie was born and raised in Oceanside, CA. She enjoyed visiting different states throughout her adult life. Her ultimate dream was to visit Alaska.

A note from Kai-

My mom was a selfless person always choosing her family and helping anyone who needed it no matter the reason. She always loved traveling and saw every state as a new adventure visiting California, Texas, Arizona and Oregon in her time, though she had big dreams to take a cruise to Alaska as it was her favorite place. I personally will remember her through the little things she loved and enjoyed doing like taking care of her cats and all the fun we shared going out to dinner together.

A private ceremony will be held with immediate family to celebrate and honor memories of Stephanie’s life.  The ceremony to be announced at a later date.

Instead of flowers, we request people donate to their local animal shelter in honor of Stephanie's memories and humanitarian efforts toward abandoned cats and dogs.

Dear Stephanie, your search for happiness is over. Rest in peace now.
