Stephanie Ramsey (Gunther) died peacefully at home on February 1, 2015 in Eldorado Hills California at the age of 53.

Stephanie is survived by her loving husband Steve Ramsey, her parents Blanche Gunther and David Reed of Redding, CT; and her sisters Gloria Gunther Cosgrove of Danbury CT and Tina Wood of Raleigh NC.   She is preceded in death by her father Nicholas F. Gunther of Germany

Stephanie was born on October 26, 1961 in New York, NY and spent most of her childhood in Ossining NY.  After moving to Redding, CT at 14 she graduated from Joel Barlow High School in 1979.  She attended Utah State University and resided in Park City Utah after school where she met her first husband Gregg Sauter.  They relocated to Vermont and she dedicated herself to her career.   She has always been admired by those that worked for her as a great “manager”.  In 1996 she met her current husband Steve Ramsey and they relocated to California which was a dream come true for her.    Stephanie and Steve married at Magic Island Hawaii in 1998.  After moving to California, Stephanie began working for Nextel in 1997 as an IT Project Manager.  For the many years she worked, she survived changes and mergers and was awarded Sprints Circle of Excellence in 2006.  Stephanie did not have kids of her own but was a wonderful step mother to Steve’s two children Shelby and Nick Ramsey.  She loved her dogs and cat and was known as the “special auntie” to her Nieces and Nephews – often opening her house for summer holidays. 

Stephanie was accomplished at many things but had a special love for the ocean and boating.  Steve and Stephanie were members of the Tower Park Yacht Club and Delta Bayliner Club where they shared many wonderful memories with their longtime friends.  Stephanie was elected Director of Tower Park from 2003 to 2009 and was awarded Yachtsman of the year in 2003.  Although Stephanie hated her picture taken, those close to her will always remember her spirit, warm heart, and beautiful smile.   

A Celebration of Life Luncheon is being organized for Family and Close friends on February 28, 2015 in Danbury CT.  In addition, for family and friends living on the West Coast there will be a gathering on February 21, 2015 from 12-3pm at Marina West Yacht Club in Terminous California.
