Thinking of you, missing you, your husband, Matt Bootz
Stephanie was originally my trainer at our employer and then she and I spent much of the last 12 years working in the same department. I loved the conversations we’d have. We’d often run into each other in the wee hours of the morning in the break room. I’ll never forget the time we started talking about and then singing Steely Dan together in there. I’m going to miss Stephanie a lot. The stories she would tell about her adventures outside of work… it was clear she loved her husband and family and animals deeply. My heart goes out to you all.
Our sincerest condolences to her family as friends! I worked with Stephanie at Safeco. Her smile always lit up the room!
Stephanie and I have been best friends for about 45 years. I will most of all miss her silly sense of humor and fun-loving nature. Whenever we were together we laughed and joked around, and we’ve had too many fun adventures to count over the years. A stern discussion here and there, but never once did we have an actual argument! She was stubborn, strong, sensitive, caring, funny, intelligent, generous… she was my friend, my sister, my heart. I will miss her every day. I will always love you, my little ToeToe Princess!
My deepest and heartfelt condolences to Stephanie’s family. I knew her from when she first began her career at Safeco and the one thing I could always count on is Stephanie keeping me updated on anything and everything going on at Safeco or worldwide…She soaked up information like a human sponge…I will miss those conversations with you.

My deepest sympathy for Stephanie’s husband and other friends & family. I worked with [email protected] for many years. Will always remember her kindness and her intellect…She was a special person.

My deepest condolences to the many loved ones of sweet Stephanie. She is gone too soon yet left a tremendous mark on all of our lives while we were blessed with her presence. I hope that memories of Stephanie will bring peace and comfort to her family and friends. I know that she is watching over us with her incredible smile.
Stephanie was such, a great friend. It makes me you know, sad when you lose someone you love so dearly. It is especially hard for my boys, James, Luke, and George. On the way home from Roscoe’s Tacos, Luke was having a complete meltdown. I am so sorry Matt.
