Stephanie was baptized at an early age and became a faithful and devoted servant of the Lord and was a member of Zion
Temple of Deliverance. She wanted everyone to experience the love of God the way she had experienced Him.

She was special and cherished by all who knew her. She had ambitious aspirations, unrealized potential and invaluable creativity and talents. She was known for her "Bell Customized Creations." Stephanie had a kind and loving spirit; she was the pillar of her family.

She will deeply be missed and forever loved.
