She was also very instrumental in developing policies and procedures for store operations, supply chain, and many other aspects of the business. She had a true love for this company and her other colleagues as well. If you knew her, she would always say I have a family at home and a family at work, and I love each of them dearly. She will be remembered for her never-ending concern for others, as she always put their needs in front of her own. She truly loved the outdoors, beach, traveling, and cooking.  She was a strong and determined woman who had passion and zest for everything she did in life. Animals were extremely important to Stephanie; she truly adored her dogs Trapper and Roscoe. During her younger years, she rode horses and competed in countless shows throughout the Southeast. Stephanie was a very dedicated and loving mother by marriage who truly adored her kids and was always concerned for their wellbeing over her own.
