Stephanie's obituary

Stephanie Joy Lynch died unexpectedly Tuesday, January 18, 2022, in her home at the age of 59. Born January 5, 1963, in West Palm Beach, Florida, she was the daughter of William Harold and Marilyn Duncan Lynch. A student of the world, Stephanie took a keen interest in the people and places that surrounded her from a young age. As a child, she kept close to her mother- often tagging along when she went to work. The youngest of five children, she looked up to her siblings. She grew alongside them, happily, in the perpetual Florida sunshine.

As a young adult, Stephanie moved away from Florida- first to North Carolina, South Carolina, then to Washington and New York states. But, each time, would find herself back in Sunshine State- the place she always felt was ‘home’. In 2009, she left Florida for the last time, rooting herself in the northern part of West Virginia. Though she learned to love the colors of autumn, the falling of snow- she missed the warm ocean breeze, salty air and the close friends from her youth that she knew would always be there for her.

To know Stephanie was to know passion. Stephanie was a life long lover of music, art and cooking. She used all three to connect and serve the people around her. As a mother, a sister, and a friend, she had an uncanny ability to know what was needed before you did. By those who loved her, Stephanie will be remembered as fun-loving, big hearted and incredibly resourceful.

She is survived by her three daughters Sarah Lynch of Edgewater, Florida, Elizabeth (Betsy) Pietrusza of Smyrna, Georgia and Alexis Lynch of Weirton, West Virginia; four beautiful grandchildren and a handful of nieces, nephews and cousins. She is also survived by her brother and sister-in-law, Mr and Mrs Michael Lynch (Laura) of Seattle, her brother Jeff Lynch of Seattle, her sister and brother-in-law Mr and Mrs David Mann (Elizabeth) of Port St Lucie, Florida, and her sister, Ann-Marie Heathman of West Palm Beach, Florida. She was predeceased by her niece, Brillion Lynch.
