Stephanie Lynn Sherman, 53, (nee Raines), a beloved mother, mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, friend, and beacon of kindness, passed away peacefully after a long and courageous journey as a quadriplegic for 33 years. Born in 1970 in Amory, Mississippi, she spent most of her life in Tampa, Florida, where her vibrant spirit touched everyone she met.

She is survived by her son, David (Poppy), and close family and friends who cherished her infectious humor, radiant beauty, and bright intellect. Her love for animals was a testament to her gentle and compassionate nature, always enjoying their company. She also loved music and cooking shows and never stopped trying to learn more about other cultures and religions.

Despite her physical challenges, Stephanie remained a pillar of strength and grace, inspiring all who knew her with her unwavering resilience and positivity. Her memory will forever be cherished, and her legacy of love and kindness will continue to live on in the hearts of those she leaves behind.

A private family service will be held at a later date to honor her memory. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Humane Society of Tampa Bay in her name. To contribute, please visit the Humane Society of Tampa Bay.

Stephanie will be deeply missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.
