Stevanna passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, October 29th, 2023 in Davenport, IA. Stevanna was a believer in the Lord. She just hadn't crossed that threshold to be baptized or join a church home. She attended Grant Elementary School in Rock Island, IL for a few years and then we moved to the Chicagoland area where she attended Bouchet Academy for her Middle school years and went on to attend Bradley Tech High School in Milwaukee, WI. She had a lot of friends and family that she loved dearly. She had plenty of people in her life near and far. An introduction to Steviie was one you would never forget. Her bubbly personality and her genuine love/heart just attracted people to her like a magnet.
Stevanna never married and had no children, but Steviie loved children, she basically adopted most of her friends’ children and she loved them as her own. She lived a lovely life as a 27-year-old should. She was employed at Amazon as an Ambassador and was beginning a new chapter of her life.
Stevanna loved makeup, hair, and all genres of music. Her favorite meal was pork chops, macaroni & cheese, and string beans which I would make faithfully for her at least every other Sunday. She loves anything with beauty. She was very artistic; had an eye of drawing. If you gave her an image, nine times out of ten she could bring it to live on paper. She was a free spirit. She enjoyed road trips and family gatherings. Her siblings, nephew (nuggett) and nieces were her world!
Those left to honor her memory as this free spirit flying free include: Her Mother: Savannah McNair and her father, Stephen (Pam) Rudolph. Sisters: Tashera (Kendall) Welch and Sherell Rudolph, Brother, Cormari Buckner, Nephew, Khyionn Welch, Nieces: Malia Rudolph and Marlee Rudolph, Uncles: Selbie McNair, Marty (Ebony) Peak and host of cousins and very close family and friends.
Stevanna adored all of us to the highest and this includes both the Rudolph and the McNair families and a host of family and friends, near and far, that dearly loved her just as much; if not more! She played a part in all of our lives to some extent so Stevanna would want us to continue to cherish our memories and live life to the fullest, as she would have! Remember to enjoy the little things!
She was preceded in death by: Grandmothers: Pamela McNair & Freddie Rudolph, Grandfathers: Selbie McNair Sr. & Willie Lewis Rudolph and Great aunt Carolyn Bailey.
