________
Stephanie lived in Plymouth, Michigan, with her family. At fifteen, she became a foreign exchange student through the Plymouth Rotary and spent a school semester in Sardinia, Italy. She enrolled in college at an early age and was currently attending Wayne State University. She continued to work in the family business and other part time positions.

A smart, sincere, confident young lady, Stephanie was always so kind, considerate, and happy. Her passion for languages and cultures took her once again abroad in the last few years to study in South Korea. Never afraid of a challenge she always welcomed new adventures.

With a great sense of humor and quick wit, she shared her laughter with all of us. She enjoyed spending time with family and friends, playing board games with her brothers, reading, staying fit, and cuddling with her dog Matteo. Oh, and can’t forget, she did enjoy a good chocolate dessert.

She will be remembered for her encouraging spirit, and kind heart.

We will miss you Stephanie and your beautiful smile. Until we meet again... forever in our hearts.

A Memorial Gathering will be Saturday, February 29, from 9am-12pm at the Schrader-Howell Funeral Home, 280 S. Main St., Plymouth, 48170. Her Memorial Service will begin at 12pm at the funeral home.
