The Erwin Class of 1982 has lost a dear classmate.

  22. I had the great opportunity to work with Stephanie in excess of 25 years. We were part of a great team to which we enjoyed many great times at AAA Cooper Transportation. We would show up each day with the same objective in mind, to achieve customer satisfaction. She was honored to have her support cast of some of the best employees one could have. Those folks and Stephanie made everyday a great day. I and they will miss the “spark and highlight” of our days. Thanks for all the great times, rest in peace my little sister.

  25. I was so sorry to hear we ve lost Stephanie. We all loved her not just as Tony s little sister but for her fun and happy personality. I loved the Lewis family, the world is sadder with them gone. Lots of love to Stephanie’s son. Your Mama was a great person.

  26. I thought the world of Stephanie, and always enjoyed her visits to Electrolux as the AAA Cooper sales rep. She would sit in the office with me sometimes for near an hour, of which equal time was spent discussing work stuff, and talking bout our children. I also got to cherish those same type moments in the grocery store as we lived near to one another, and would bump into each other. Again usually just standing, and talking about our children. She was definitly a sweet, genuine soul, and I’m so glad to have known her.

  27. I am just now seeing this, almost 2 years later. I tried to call and check in on my sweet, wonderful friend, but had not heard from her in so long that I was worried something had happened. I hate that I missed telling her goodbye and sending condolences to her family. Stephanie was a radiant light of JOY! She was a smart, beautiful, amazing soul and is irreplaceable. I love her and will miss her for eternity. I was blessed to have met her and her gracious, beautiful spirit.
