She was born on October 22, 1984, in Fredericksburg, VA to Louis Ashton Minter and Cheryl (Sealy) Minter.
Stephanie's passing is a lost felt throughout an entire family and a whole host of friends. Stephanie can best be described as a happy, jolly individual, filled with love and adoration for her loved ones. A beam of light in dark places.

Though she has taken new wings, the beauty she brought into this world remains forever in our hearts.
