Stephanie J. Begandy

Stephanie went home on Tuesday, December 6, 2022, at age 76 to be with her parents, Annabelle and Stephen Begandy Sr.  She is survived by her siblings, Stephen Jr. (Deb), Suzanne (Mark) Jovanelli and Lori (Rodney) Lund; many nieces, nephews, and life-long friends.

Four of Stephanie’s nieces were her wonderful and loving caregivers, Kelly and Kerry Jovanelli and Alexis and Alanna Bell.  With their loving care, the family was able to keep her at home as promised.  We would like to give a special thank you to Dr. Michael Herbowy and his staff for his constant care and guidance for Stephanie.

  2. I just don’t have words to say how special my Sister-Friend was. Sweet, kind, compassionate, fun and funny are just a few words to describe her. Loved by everyone who met her, Steph was just that one-in-a-million person! As much as I’ll miss her, I know that God has a much more important assignment for her in Heaven, and there is no doubt that it involves wearing wings!! As she was an angel on earth, may she continue to be an angel who watches over us all…especially her family, who took such amazing care of her and made many sacrifices in doing so!! Until we meet again, my dear, sweet Steph!! I love you with all my heart…eternally ♥️

  7. Aunt Stephanie was the aunt that was always there. Always showing us what it meant to care for someone. She was the true caretaker. She was always present no matter what and knew how to make us feel special.
    May your blessings in heaven be more than what we could ever imagine.

  9. Steph you were one of my favorite classmates from Sacred Heart School. In the years that followed Occasionally we’d run into each other & it was a warm, happy encounter. Sad to learn you’d been ailing and sad at your passing. Now you’re free & whole, soaring with the angels. God bless your family.

  13. Dear Steph, you were my first best friend, We met in 4th grade at Sacred Heart and continued to be like sisters. We shared so many good times and some crazy times. Even after high school our paths would cross, we would get together for lunch and talk about all those amazing times we shared. You always were a wonderful friend. And all who knew and loved you will have an empty place in there heart. Fly with the angels my dear friend. You will be missed.My prayers for you and your family.
