Stephanie Hudy, of Sparta Missouri, went to heaven on January 27, 2015, and will be reunited with her father, William Hudy Sr., and brother Billy Hudy Jr. Surviving Stephanie is her life partner, Winston Japhet, Sparta Mo., and children Brooke, Amber, and Courtney; her parents Lynn and Pat Meno, Endicott NY. Sister, Tamie (Allen) Jones, Youngsville NC. Stephanie is also survived by her extended family, Darlene Japhet, Debbie (Jim) Greir, Raleigh NC., Patty (Greg) Kliensmith, Johnson City NY , James Japhet, Raleigh NC, Grandmother Claire Hendrickson, and Grandparents John and Mary Meno, Binghamton, NY, all who loved her very much. Stephanie's life long best friend Melanie (Christopher) Harrington, Springfield MO was never far from her side during her long illness. Stephanie also leaves behind many Nieces, Nephews, Aunts and Uncles from the Hudy, Japhet, Hendrickson, and Meno families.
Steff was mischievous and always ready to tell a good story. Her smile lit up a room, and you couldn’t help but smile with her. From the time she was a little girl all she wanted was her own family and children. She loved Winston, and the girls were everything to her. Steff will be missed, and will be thought of everyday. Steff showed us what love is all about.
A special thanks to Dr.Leonardo at Mercy hospital, as well as the Hospice group in Springfield for the care and compassion they showed for our Stephanie. What a special group of people!
