We are so sorry that your family is going through this.  I always enjoyed talking to Stephanie along with all the other 'boy soccer moms' during our kids' games.   Always positive and helpful, working for the best for our kids.  She will be missed by the Prairie community.   

Stephanie's mother-in-law is a longtime friend. She often spoke of her son and daughter-in-law and her three grandsons. I am going to honor her memory and to give respect and love to the family.

So sorry for the loss of this beautiful lady.

We are so sorry for your loss. May God grant you all his Peace and Comfort at this sad time. Sending love. 

I am so sorry that I will be out of town. My heart is broken for Brian and the boys. Stephanie was such a bright light for everyone. Her smile could light a room. May you be surrounded by comfort in the days to come, and may her spirit live on forever. 

Stephanie was one of the most positive people I’ve ever met. She took such delight in each day and really challenged everyone around her to see the “glass half full”. She was a joy to be around and we will always remember her. I’m so grateful to have known her and worked with her this past year. ❤️

I am sad that I won’t be able to attend the celebration of Stephanie’s life as I will be out of town for my daughter’s dance competition. I will never forget her beautiful face and joy for life. 

My sincere sympathies go out to Stephanie’s boys, husband, family, and friends. I was lucky enough to cross paths with her at Chi Omega at Kansas State and thankful for Facebook to continue to see her smile on my phone screen throughout the years. May God hold you tight while you navigate this new grief and happy memories comfort your hearts.

Once she started working at Prairie, Stephanie turned the stressful morning drop-off routine into an absolute joy (she volunteered for parking lot duty, folks, and had electric hand warmers for the coldest days) because you knew that once you'd made it to school, you'd be greeted with her huge grin and sincere love--and you'd get to see dozens of kids light up when she turned her compassion toward them (how did she know everyone's names??). More than anyone I've ever seen, she turned her corner of the world--we're so lucky we got to share it with her--into a place of maximum enthusiasm, and rather than just thinking it should be a kinder and gentler place and that kids need more support as they struggle, especially post-pandemic, she set out to make it so. Often, I made it to work (a little late, because I snagged some time chatting with a mom whose approach I so admire) thinking, "There's just no way to not feel good around Stephanie Drennon." Now, I know, there's just no way not to be devastated that we've lost her. 

I am so very sorry. May her memory be a blessing, I know it will be for me and my family.
