Stephanie Lynn (McCollett) Smith
GARDINER - It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Stephanie Lynn Smith, 34, born on September 19, 1990, in Augusta, Maine.
Stephanie was a loving mother, a cherished daughter, loving sister and friend. She loved being a stay-at-home mom, she poured her heart into her children. Her children were her world, and she was theirs. Growing up with Stephanie, as siblings, we shared countless adventures, from playing outside, singing and performing spice girls in the living room, road trips to the ocean and Fort Knox, camping out in the station wagon and many more. We shared a bond that words can hardly describe. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
Stephanie is survived by boyfriend David Knox, her two children Mason James Lane and Chloe Mae Lane; her mother, MaryJane Bilodeau and husband Dan; sisters, Felicia Hathaway and her daughters Dezirae Thibodeau and Adrianna Karcher, Hattie Trask and husband Justin, their daughters Olivia, Bella and Madelynn, Krystal Hisler (Chris Senior) her son, Thomas Roe and daughters Karlee and Everlee Senior, Tiffany McCollett (Tony Smith) her sons Orion Britt, Sawyer and Grayson Smith and daughters Harper and Remi Smith and Brother Steven McCollett Jr. (Porscha Ware) and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her loving father, Steven L. McCollett, Sr.
A memorial service will be announced in the Spring.
