I had the pleasure of working with Stephanie. I was always struck by her warmth, kindness, positivity and sense of humour. When I started she went out of her way to offer support to me as well as other new starters in my team, which meant a lot. I remember the session she led with the Rising Career Network not long ago and the incredible enthusiasm she had for sharing thoughtful advice for both work and life. My thoughts and love are with her friends and family.

I am so very sorry to hear this news. Stephanie was a joy to talk to and work with on the IBPN committee. Before meetings, she and I would cut up and laugh about the things that were happening. She even accepted to mentor me on some career goals. I found her to be funny, honest, joyful and a pleasure to interact with. I am truly going to miss her.

Stephanie was a rare soul who truly lived to see others succeed. I first met her during my first month at Invesco in 2019, and she quickly became a constant source of encouragement. Throughout the years we worked together, she remained the ultimate champion for her colleagues, always making sure everyone felt heard, valued, and supported in their professional journeys. What I will cherish most was our shared time on the leadership of Invesco Cares. Stephanie’s heart for service was unmatched, whether we were pouring back into our local communities or mentoring the next generation of leaders. She didn't just talk about leadership; she modeled it through kindness and selflessness every single day. She will be deeply missed, but her legacy of advocacy and community spirit will live on in all of us.

Stephanie was an amazing person - always lighting up every room with her warmth and smile. She always asked about how others were doing and led her life with such fierceness and kindness. I’m so grateful for the time that we spent together at Invesco as colleagues and friends. She always talked so highly about her three sons and was just beaming with pride sharing in your accomplishments. She was truly one of the best and will be so deeply missed. Sending love and condolences to your family during this very difficult time.

Stephanie was one of a kind . We taught Sunday school together, sang in the choir . We were expecting around the same time and most of all we worshipped together. My prayers are for the family. Continue the legacy of loving God and living people.

It's hard to see through my tears right now. Apart from my parents, you laid the strongest foundation of anyone in my life. I remember watching my sisters grow up having this fearless, wonderful, Godly woman teach them beautiful and powerful dances that helped mold their relationship with God. Their school lives were poured into, they were fed with scripture, they were scolded, and boy they LAUGHED so much 😭😂 I loved seeing it for my sisters, and I definitely wanted a taste. I was probably nothing but 7 years old when I confided in you that I wanted to have "boy dancers" at Bible Way. Probably a year later, as we were visiting another church, you pulled me aside as they presented their Mime Ministry. I was OH so inspired- beaming ear to ear. And from then, you formed and affectionally coined our new Bible Way Ministries Int. group the His Hands Mime Ministry (oh you have a talent for creating a Bible based name lol), and left us in the hands of your very brilliant and capable son, Steven Valentine. A SHINING reflection of you, still one of my favorite Sunday School teachers ever. You eventually took over the ministry, and through it I found more than I imagined. You gave me a church family I could go through anything and everything with. And I found an expression for my God that brought our connection even closer to my heart. And all of the Bible studies before rehearsal, the school talks, the sibling scolding, we received just as well!! And oh... we LAUGHED. You changed my life just for the first time. Later down the years, you made your way all the way down to Covington when I became a drum major my senior year. Hearing that piercing scream on my side meant even more knowing how you spoke life into me when I didn't get the position the first time I tried out. I've never felt unloved. And thank you for recording so much!! You gave me the best and truly some of the only footage of that moment 😭you and that camera! Eyes always on what mattered, and what we want to remember. That same year, you led me and my brother in a financial literacy class you formed, being so honest and vulnerable with your finances and your genius! You helped me BUDGET my tithes lol, and set real goals for myself with the drive and acumen to get there. You were a part of the team that sent me a care package when I was in school all the way in Nashville. And I felt your love again in a moment I needed it most. You invited us to come back and serve at the Ronald McDonald House, volunteering for those who don't get to experience the holidays the way we do, with joy, Musix, and some good ol' home cooking. One of my favorite memories ever, and my Dad bragged on you about it for years 🙌🏼😂 We have a lot of Christians out in the world, but you helped guide and shape every step in the walk, showing how God is there through it ALL. You even gave me some of my most peaceful thoughts I replay when I think of the time I was losing my father. We cried together because I know you felt it too, and you even felt it on our behalf.. but nothing ever stopped you from doing God's work. I hope to lead with a servant's heart just like you. Because of this I know God is just holding you. Rocking you back and forth. His prized Angel child we didn't deserve but Lord we needed. It hurts when there was STILL so much unsaid. I tried to get us tickets to see The Wiz in Atlanta, but these second party ticket apps- the ones I received were for 2 separate days. I just wanted to do something with us together.. give you some sense of the thank you you deserved. I'll have to trust you hear me. I love you so so much Sister Stephanie. Please say hi to my Dad for me and give him a hug. I'll see you soon 🕊️💜💜💜 — with Che Patterson, Jack Patterson, Taj Patterson and Stephanie Valentine

To Bandon, Aaron & Steven,

I still remember watching you and your mom sit together in church years ago and being so inspired and impressed. Even then, it was obvious that your mother was intentional about raising you with love, wisdom, respect, and faith. I begged her to write a parenting book to share her wisdom with the world on how she raised such impressive young men.

Every conversation I ever had with her reflected how deeply she loved you and how proud she was of the men you were becoming.

Please never doubt this: your mother’s legacy did not end yesterday. It lives on through each of you.

It lives on in your character.

In the way you carry yourselves.

In the values she planted in you.

In the lives you will touch because of what she first poured into your lives.

Your mother was the kind of woman who quietly impacted people in ways she probably never fully realized. She encouraged others simply by the way she lived, loved, served, and supported those around her.

I know the pain of losing her is immeasurable, but I pray that in time you will find comfort in knowing that her life mattered deeply and her love for you was evident to everyone who knew her.

I am so very proud of each of you. Please don't hesitate to let me know if I can ever be of help to you in the future.

Thank you for sharing your mother with the world. She made a difference and the world is better because she was here. ❤️

Stephanie embodied the spirit of giving and selflessness. Working with her in different capacities over the past ten years has been an honor. You don’t come across many people like her in the workplace, and I don’t know that I ever will again. She was warmth, authenticity, empathy, and nurturing, all wrapped in a small frame that was also highly intelligent, confident, empowering and energizing. I’m thankful and grateful to have crossed paths with her along this journey and I pray that she rests well now, she’s given this world enough. My deepest condolences to her sons, family and friends. I pray that you find comfort in your beautiful memories of her.

There’s one memory that stands out for me. I was the musician/director for our Praise Team and Choir. There was a song I believe it was Yes Lord and I needed a lead, Steph said she would do it. And “Yes Lord” she did it. We wore that song out. Gonna miss you Steph. When we chose you as Rasheité’s Godmother. Best Choice Ever. Sleep Easy!!!

Highlights among the many qualities I enjoyed while working with Stephanie were a real passion for the work, a huge personal warmth and an overwhelming impression of a kind, caring person. The impact of her absence will be felt across Invesco. My sincere condolences and love to you all.

Stephanie's work family at Invesco mourns: she was a rare combination of diligence, strength and kindness. Her touch reverberated beyond the US- she tirelessly joined our Asia Pacific calls without fail even when it was her Sunday evenings, our Monday mornings. What a privilege to have worked alongside her. Her warmth and professionalism radiates far and wide and internationally. Sending love, thoughts and prayers to Stephanie's family and friends. We will miss her tremendously.

From: Cousin Debbie

In 2021 Cousin Stephanie came to New York and it happened to be her birthday. My husband Bruce and I treated her to dinner at our favorite restaurant in Dobbs Ferry, New York-Half Moon. We had such fun together that evening, I can still remember the stories, the laughter and the joy of being together for that brief moment. I will keep that beautiful memory in my heart forever. And my heart goes out to each of you in love, support and blessings in the loss of your sister, mom and aunt. The love, warmth, strength and wisdom that Cousin Stephanie exuded will remain with all of us in our memories of her. Sending you all love from Bruce, Angela, Chris, James, Michael and me. God Bless and Keep You All.
