Over the years, Stephanie built a strong working life defined by reliability and skill. She retired from Wabash National, where she worked as a decaler. Earlier in her career, she did wire welding at Delco, plastic injection and molding at Hewitts, and assisted with TV cameras for K I productions.
In November of 1994, Stephanie married Gerald Love, beginning a chapter grounded in commitment and shared life.
Stephanie also made room for the things that brought her joy: camping, art, and motorcycle riding. Whether in quiet creativity or open-road freedom, these interests reflected a spirit that appreciated both beauty and adventure.
Her faith remained an important part of her life and community. She was previously a member of Foursquare Church and Family Worship Center, and was a current member of White Horse Christian Center of West Lafayette.
She is survived by her husband Gerald, son Roman Boyd of Kokomo, siblings Dan Ellis (Colleen) of New York and Laura Stroud (Gene) of Frankfort.
Stephanie is preceded in death by her parents David A. Holtsclaw and Margaret (Ellis) Holtsclaw, and her brother David A. Holtsclaw II (Joy).
