Stephanie was the cherished daughter of Kathy Edenburn, who survives her. Throughout her life, Stephanie carried the unwavering support and love of her family, including her devoted sisters, Amber Martin-Tinsley and Angie Martin, who have always been by her side through life's journeys. Her steadfast bond with her family was a cornerstone of her being, and she treasured every moment spent with them. Stephanie's legacy lives on in the hearts of her eight beloved children: Alicia, Laville, Mason, Ryan, Ellie, Wyatt, Kinsley, and Paisley. Each child was a source of immense joy and pride for Stephanie, and she dedicated her life to nurturing, guiding, and loving them unconditionally.
