Stephanie was one of the brightest and most wonderful people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Through the rough nights and long hours, not a shift went by without it’s share of laughs. Steph would see the bright side of everything and her enthusiasm was contagious. And my god, what a professional. Always dedicated to pursuing more knowledge and extending respect to everyone she worked with. On the slower nights at yellow door, we would play light pranks on each other. Mostly taking silly selfies with each others phones while the other was preoccupied with work. After shift we would go for a drink with our fellow coworkers and she’d find the pictures I’d taken and oh how we’d laugh and laugh. Truly the best way to shake off a rough night or blow off some steam. My parents too, absolutely adored Steph. She was their favourite server and they were her favourite guests. She would always go above and beyond to take care of them and I will always be eternally grateful for her care towards them. Working with people who care so much about what they do is very rare and was an absolute privilege. I will miss her dearly, both as a former coworker but more importantly as a close friend. My heart goes out to all who knew Steph and were close with her.

Hello, my name is Brooke. I worked with Steph at the Yellow Door Bistro in 2016. When I came to YDB, I was a hostess and later a server. Steph worked w me and trained me through some of the learning curves that come with the industry. Steph was always uplifting, kind and helpful. When I think of her, I think of the way she moved through the restaurant. She was so joy-filled and bubbly. She brought sunshine into every room she entered. I am so sad to hear that Steph has left this earth so soon; however, I hope her family can find comfort in knowing that I am grateful I got to know her. I consider her to be an everlasting ray of sunshine on this earth and the warmth she brought people will never fade. The legacy she left in my life is one I carry to this day. She was a part of one of the most special times in my young adulthood and I will always be grateful to have known her. She loved people, she loved her family and she always sought to make other people feel good and help. Steph. Thank-you for who you are. Thank-you for all the lessons you taught me. Thank-you for your encouragement and support. Thank-you for your sparkle. I'll make sure to honour your memory through being kind & helpful to others. Love, Brooke <3

I’ll always remember Stephanie for her ability to make tough situations positive. Whether with a smile, or joke, or hug. She was a resilient person who cared for those around her. She will be missed.

Dear Stephanie, it was a real pleasure to have met you, work with you and mentoring you at work. Gracious, perfectionist, dedicated, bubbly, and overall an amazing human being… life takes us all through different paths and I’m happy ours crossed during that time. I’ll cherish your memory dear Steph.

I’m just learning of Steph’s passing this evening and I’m so sorry for your loss. Steph was an incredibly kind, sweet, and funny person. She was always so positive, too. I was fortunate enough to work with her for a number of years and Calgary and I am embarrassed to admit we lost touch when I left the restaurant industry. There are many days were I could have used Steph’s positivity and smile to brighten my day, just as she did to so many people she met.

I am so very sorry for your families loss, Steph really was one of a kind, and I am grateful to have known her. I am incredibly sad she is gone. There is a period of time in my life that I don't have a single memory that doesn't include her in some way. Even though we lost touch over the years after she moved away, I thought about her all the time and hoped she was happy! Life pulls us in so many different directions and takes us to new places. For a person like Steph who saw life as an adventure waiting to happen and who wasn't afraid to take chances, would have always wanted more than our town had to offer her...I just always thought we'd see each other again despite the distance between us. I know I can speak for Krystal when I say the time that the 3 of us spent together will be some of the best in our lives and we will remember them and her forever ❤️
