I'm thankful to have known Steph for a short time through her work at Knowledge Network. She was a pleasure to work with. I remember the last time we met -- at the National Philanthropy Day lunch about two weeks before her death -- she was so positive and full of ideas for her future. I'll always remember her in that moment

Loss for words your sister talked about you when she lived with us loving big heart woman can see you have the same qualities till we meet one day RIP to young to early.

Dear Maureen & Family,
What a passionate, creative, kind and loving soul that Steph is. 

Her celebration of life today touched our hearts in an unimaginable way. She was a true shining star and I know you were all so very, very proud of her and her accomplishments.

Keep the memories of her alive always, and she will always be with you. May you find peace in your hearts as time goes by, and may her memory always bring a smile to your face.

Please accept our sincere and heartfelt condolences on the loss of your special angel.

Love & Sympathy,
David Hanson & Shelly Ferens ❤️

I have never been more impressed by anyone than I was & am Steph. Her talents were limitless. Her personal, artistic, entrepreneurial, and charitable accomplishments were boundless and beyond impressive. Her accolades are many and well deserved. She continued to accomplish more & more every year, and I often wondered if there was no end to her potential. And yet she stayed the same humble, chill, loving, generous person I met and knew back in 2009 (earlier?). I adore Steph and she'll always hold a space in my heart. The world will be so very much less without her, she gave so very much while here and made the most possible use of her time and potential. I am so shocked and heartbroken at this news, I'm in disbelief to learn the violent tragic circumstance. She will be missed, in many ways by many people. But I wish to extend my condolences especially to her family and pray that they receive all the support and love they need during this time as a result of this loss and the work ahead.
Steph INSPIRED ME beyond boundaries I thought possible. I admired her more than I can say and I appreciated and valued her friendship and spirit immensely.

Steph was a valued member of the professional charity fundraising community. I had the pleasure and privilege to work with her for a few months and I loved her boundless energy and enthusiasm for new ideas and miss it terribly.

Wonderful obituary with a great picture of Stephanie. She had an amazing life which was cut short so tragically. My sincere condolences to Tom, Rowena, Todd and all the rest of the family.

To Tom and family :
Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear ,just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer. Stephanie will always be in our mind and in our hearts. She gave us the greatest gift and blessed us by making us a family and we cherish that gift every day . Wishing you peace to bring you comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your heart, Matthew, Doug, and Sandra.

Dear Maureen and Family; My Family and I hope you find comfort in the loving memories you have of your beautiful and talented Daughter and Sister, Stephanie. We send our deepest sympathy and condolences to you with loving thoughts. She is with the Angels. -Doreen Krawchuk and Family

Lovingly miss my beautiful niece. A beautiful woman inside & out. She gave far more than she received, at times.

I'll miss her random phone calls, her spunky nature...telling it as it is. Her zest for life & love for helping others, before herself.

Calling me.." Auntie Sparkley ", always made my day ❤️

Till we meet again...not saying goodbye...just saying..."See you later!""

Hugs and sloppy kisses darlin!

Love you...Auntie Kerri
