Stephanie Markwood Obituary

My dear sister, Linda. We are back in Iowa once again. The last two weeks with you and the girls have been a roller coaster for us all. We still can't believe that our beloved Stephanie is gone from our sight. She is of course in our hearts and you and the girls and their family are in our constant prayers. So many lives she touched and so many wonderful memories she has left us all with. It doesn't make it any easier but all the beautiful people and all the beautiful words that have been written are worth their weight in gold. She certainly has left a mark in this world and I chose to light an everlasting candle in her name. I know we will see her again, and oh my, will it be good. God makes everything good and His love, grace and support from His Holy Spirit was so very strong and all around you & me when ever we prayed for God to help us hang on. As we have said to each other before, God made us sisters...but love and grace made us best friends forever. Might not be twins but we are joined together at the heart and nothing or nobody can separate us. I love you for the joy you sent into this world through your beautiful daughter, Stephanie. I'm blessed to be a part of her world for almost 38 years. She will forever be, 37 years young!
Helen & George

I will miss knowing that smile is in the world. You were a special person.

I will always remember Stephanie and will miss our wonderful talks when we got together at Lake Powell. Peace be with you and all that stayed behind.

Sorry to hear of your loss Val, thinking of you and your family during this difficult time.

My first best friend, my partner in crime for several years of teenage hood. I cannot imagine my life without your influence Steph. What I think we taught one another and learned from on another is something that is irreplaceable. Love to you Linda, Valerie, and Misty. What a remarkable person to have graced all of our lives. I am with all of you in spirit. And so is Ethan.

Linda, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I am so sorry for your lose.

I remember changing Steph's diapers and the girls playing Barbies. You are all like sisters to me and Linda please know my mom is with you at this time.
I love you all. Tracy & Wade

So Sorry for your loss. I knew her through my daughter who worked with her at Companion, what a smile, she will be sorely missed. Another angel in heaven.

Prayers extended to Stephs family and friends. Having the chance to work with her and meet her outside of work was a pleasure. She was an amazing soul. Thank you for your donations to the needy in your absence. <3

As like so many others, I am still in a state of shock and disbelief. I worked with her for a while and can still see her smile. I wish there were something I could say to help you, her family, in this most difficult time. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers always.

My husband and I have known Stephanie as long as we have known her mom. We were so lucky to have been taken into the family like we were one of them. Stephanie's sweet smile would like up the room. We are so happy that she met a wonderful man and spent the last few years of her life happy, with him. Our unconditional love and support goes out to everybody who loved Steph. We all feel this loss.

So sorry for your loss...I knew Stephanie from Carnival she was a sweet, kind and loving person and will be missed by many. Thoughts and prayers to her family and fiance.

Praying for the families...she sounded like such a light and a beautiful soul.
