1949 - 2008 (May the angels guide you home)
A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic (Joseph Stalin)
Stephanie was a well known known member of the Democratic Party and the US House of Representatives. Her constituency involved the people of the 11th District of Ohio.
She will always be remembered as the first African American who was elected to Congress from Ohio. In 2006, she was named Chairwoman of the House Committee of Official Conduct. A position that she was well suited for as she was a woman of intergrity and honesty.
During the 2008 Democratic primaries she was very vocal about her support for Senator Hillary Clinton. Even when it was not the popular stance to take amongst her peers.
In august 2008, Stephanie was found unconscious in her car, having suffered a cerebral hemorrhage due to an aneurysm in her brain. She was taken to hospital, where she died the next day.
She is sadly missed for her spirit, optimism and conviction of correcting the sexism prevelant in the Democratic Party today.
