MANUEL, Stephanie L., age 61 passed away Monday June 17, 2024. She was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado on March 17, 1963. She was the daughter of Ralph Manuel and Barbara Manuel. She wore so many titles including mother, sister, auntie, grandma, and friend. She is survived by her son, David Manuel-Edge; her daughter, Tearia Manuel-Edge; granddaughter, Kilani Manuel-Jackson; and sisters, Sheila Santos, Robin Manuel, and Schoen Manuel. She impacted so many people’s lives with her generosity and vibrant spirit. She was very humble and gave everyone the benefit of the doubt even if they didn’t deserve it. Being around her was like taking in a deep breath of fresh air after suffocating from the pressures of life. She made herself readily available to anyone who needed her help. She was the epitome of dependable in more ways than one. Her bright spirit and contagious laughter will be missed but never forgotten. You deserve peace and tranquility in the most purest form. Keep smiling down on us all.

The family will receive friends from 5-7 PM on Friday, June 28, 2024 at Marker & Heller Funeral Home, Huber Heights Chapel, 5844 Old Troy Pike.  In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the American Kidney Foundation in Stephanie’s memory.
