In Memory of

Stephanie Jean Willoughby

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Stephanie J. Willoughby, who left us peacefully on February 1, 2025, at the age of 73. Born on December 23, 1951, Stephanie filled the lives of those around her with laughter and warmth. She was a shining beacon of intelligence, possessing a wicked sense of humor that brought joy to every gathering.

A proud graduate of the University of Cincinnati, Stephanie obtained her Bachelor's Degree in Psychology in 1973. Her academic achievements were just a reflection of her inquisitive nature and deep appreciation for the human experience. Her passion for life was evident not only in her studies but also in her love for singing; she graced the stage as a member of her high school choir, leaving echoes of her melodies in the hearts of many.

In addition to her educational pursuits, Stephanie found joy in unique hobbies. For many years, she delighted in selling baseball cards at the Caesar Creek Flea Market, where she not only showcased her collection but also forged friendships with fellow vendors and patrons. Stephanie had a curiosity for her family history, immersing herself in genealogy, unearthing stories that connected generations.

Above all, Stephanie cherished her family. She is survived by her loving sister, Janice Kane, and her brother, William Kane. Her affection for her loved ones was immeasurable, and she devoted countless hours to creating lasting memories with them.

A graveside service will be held in Stephanie's honor at Graceland Memorial Gardens on February 7, 2025, at 12:00 PM. Friends and family are invited to gather at 5989 Deerfield Road, Milford, OH 45150, to celebrate a life well-lived, to share stories, and to remember the wonderful woman whose spirit will forever remain in our hearts.

As we bid farewell to Stephanie J. Willoughby, we find solace in the love she imparted and the laughter she shared, knowing she will be missed dearly by all who were fortunate enough to know her.
