Stephanie Snell Obituary

Stephanie Dawn Snell illuminated this world at UAMS on February 6, 1990, and departed this world on July 22, 2025, at UAMS, having come full circle. Stephanie lived a life overflowing with family, friends, and most profoundly, her Jesus. She never hesitated to give her testimony and let people know Jesus was coming back for her. 

Stephanie was a lover of all things Spiders, Mario Cart, 3 stooges, and most recently Hello Kitty, thanks to her dear friend and fellow bowler of 20 years Linda. She also loved everything about Halloween and to dress up. Stephanie was a quiet soul, silent observer, but deep thinker, who would astonish us all at times with her profound knowledge of subjects. She had a memory like an eagle, especially for names and directions. 

Stephanie's biggest supporter was her mom, who pushed for inclusion for Stephanie from a young age, empowering her to gain essential life skills. Her mom's vision was for Stephanie to thrive in this world, even if her mom was no longer by her side. Stephanie had a team of Direct Support Staff who helped her achieve remarkable independence. Stephanie's lifelong hobby was bowling, and she bowled with the Don Hill Thunderbirds for over 20 years. Her most cherished team members were Linda and Bryon, and she would often lovingly tell Bryon that she was going to kick his butt at bowling.

Stephanie is survived by her Mom and Step Dad Andy and Renee Watts of Salem Arkansas. Dad Lesley Mark Snell. Sister Megan (Seth) Kaiser of Arnold Missouri, Hannah (Casey ) McCullough of Melbourne Arkansas . Step sister Kristen (Michael) Cauthon and kids of Kansas.
