STEPHANIE ALBRIGHT Obituary

It is hard to believe that 11 years have passed. I thought that a good memory would be a typical email from her ... always packed with fun, filled with grace. This email is from May 7, 2013, and it's a recap of one of her super-fun tennis charity events. I love the best-dressed category. Stephanie spread a lot of love, and we will always remember her!

Stephanie was a lovely woman and an inspiration to my Television show "Making A Difference", which is filmed in the county. Her passing is a major loss to all of us. Her energy and encouragement to help others will live on for ever. Shari, Brent and Alec Chase

I am truly blessed to have known Stephanie. She will always be bright, bubbly, vivacious, and beautiful to me. Sincere sympathies to her family and friends.

My thought and prayers go out to her husband and children.

We are so very sorry for you loss. We will keep Stephanie in our prayers.

I loved her so much and feel a terrible sense of loss. I can't even imagine how much more loss her wonderful husband, children, parents, brother and rest of the family and closest friends must be feeling. I Know I am so fortunate to have had her in my life, and not a day will go by without thoughts of her incredible strength, kindness and brilliance. Thank you Stephanie for all that you shared with me. And thank you Albright family for sharing this gift of a woman with me and so many others.

We are so shocked and saddened by the passing of such a smart, beautiful, generous person, mother, wife, and friend. Our heartfelt sympathy and prayers are with you during this very difficult time. Stephanie may you rest in eternal peace!

With love and my sincere sympathy for the loss of your beautiful daughter--

Stephanie had an infectious spirit. In addition, her tireless efforts have enabled so many to enjoy a more fulfilling life. Prayers to her family.

To the Albright family, my sincerest condolences. Although I only interacted with Stephanie a few times while I coached Jenna when she played in SAC, I could sense what an amazing mother and person she really was. Then after reading about all the wonderful things she'd done for others, all I can conclude is that the world has lost a very special person. My thoughts and prayers go out to all.

If I'm feeling this devastated, I cannot begin to imagine the pain that Bill, Steven, Jenna, Carlyn, Dr. and Mrs. Yassin and the entire family are experiencing. I used to think I was the only person Steph looked out for so caringly. After reading these postings, I realize I was one of thousands! Steph was truly an angel. We are praying continually, and are confident that God will comfort and uphold all of her family and friends as only He can do.
Love and blessings

May the memories of Stephanie's full and beautiful life be ever present in your heart as I know you will miss her dearly.

The world will miss this beautiful human being and heaven will enjoy her smile! The DeSocios

May your memories of Stepanie give you comfort through this difficult time, We are so sorry for your loss.

Bernie and Nancy Merritt

May the God of Comfort give your family peace and strength to endure this very difficult time (1 Pt 5:7).

Stephanie was one of a kind, an Energizer Bunny, a human dynamo. Steph gave me my first sales opportunity many years and mentored me. She always said "If your day is going bad, give me a call at the office and I will give you a pep talk ! I will be your cheer leader." Just saying that was enough.
We had many mutual interests which always made for great conversation.
She and Bill were simply fantastic, fun people to work for. I'll never forget my years working with her a Maryland Beverage. You will always have a special place in my memory and an even more special place in my heart.

Stephnie will be missed by everyone she touched, will always remember her smile!
Pray to God to give family the strength to deal with this tough situation.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Stephanie was my roommate at Vanderbilt both freshman and sophomore years. Everything people have said about her is so true - she was so kind, so fun, so caring. She was so loved and will be so missed.

I am so shocked and saddened to hear about the passing of such an amazing person. She will be missed by all, but I can't help but take comfort in knowing how many people will have an angel watching over them. This is her legacy. RIP Stephanie.

My sincere sympathy to the Albright family. Stephanie was a wonderful woman with such a kind heart.

Fred and I are devastated to learn of Stephanie's passing. There are no words to adequately describe our sadness. Bill, please know that we are here for you. XO, Terri & Fred

Her beautiful smile, her positive attitude, her ability to brush away the things that didn't really matter. She had such a deep love for Bill and their 3 children and was committed to them 100 %.

We are in such shock and disbelief that this fireball of a woman with her energy, organization & caring is no longer with us.

Our hearts & prayers go out to Bill, Steven, Jennifer & Carlye, to her parents and in- laws and and all her relatives.
We have lost a truly remarkable woman who we never shall forget.

Thank you, Steph for everything. We'll love you forever!

Love,
Lisa Radomsky and Family

God bless you Stephanie. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
