"Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine!" Isaiah 43:1. Stephanie, a loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend passed away on Saturday, July 20, 2013 at the age of 46 after a faith-filled journey battling Hodgkin's Lymphoma. She was a native and lifelong resident of Baton Rouge. Born on April 6, 1967, Stephanie was a graduate of St. Thomas More School and St. Joseph's Academy. She also earned both a Bachelor of Science and Master of Social Work degree from Louisiana State University. Stephanie served others as a licensed medical social worker and as an instructor at Our Lady of the Lake College. Stephanie was always willing to share her many gifts with family, friends and anyone in need. Her warm smile and lively personality will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved her. She inspired countless people with her beautiful stories that revealed her deep faith in God, eternal hope in the future, and genuine love for others. Stephanie was a member of St. Thomas More Church. She enjoyed cooking and gardening, with a special affection for her roses. She is survived by her husband, David Lemoine; her three children, Christian, Stephen, and Catherine; her mother, Joylyn Murray; her sister and brother-in-law, Shawn Murray Bone and Stephen Bone; mother and father-in-law, Kathleen and Richard Lemoine; sister-in-law, Devin Lemoine; brother-in-law, Richie Lemoine; and nieces and nephews, Ali, Sam, and Zoe Burmester, Helen and Colin Bone, all of Baton Rouge. She was preceded in death by her father, John George Murray, Jr., of Baton Rouge. Stephanie's love of life, kind heart and openness to welcome everyone will be missed by all. Special thanks to her father-in-law Richard Lemoine who provided wonderful care to Stephanie over the last three years. Visitation will be held at St. Thomas More Catholic Church on Wednesday, July 24, 2013 from 10am until Mass of Christian Burial at 12pm. Interment will follow in Greenoaks Memorial Park.

Ms. Stephanie was such a beautiful and uplifting person - she fought with the true faith of a warrior, I know she's receiving her rewards by the multitudes, but her smile and bright cheery demeanor will be greatly missed by the rest of us!

I had the pleasure of getting to know Stephanie when her children were small, as a speech therapist. Although it was many years ago, I have always remembered what a dedicated mom she was. It was obvious how much she loved her children. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Dear family , I had the privilege of getting to know Stephanie at "Lake Sherwood swim team". Looked forward to seeing that smile everyday ! We would walk around the neighborhood while practice was going on. This old grandma really took a liking to that young mom! There'd a special place in heaven for Stephanie !

Words cannot truly express how much we will miss Stephanie. The Lord's love poured out from her beautiful smile and zest for live. She shared that with everyone she met. We have wonderful childhood memories especially playing together all summer long. And, as adults, we spent time together at the beach in Destin. She is dancing with her Dad in heaven. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We look forward to spending eternity with Stephanie. With love, Marybeth, Denise and Tim Creehan

There are not any words to express our feelings. Whom ever met Stephanie was surely touched forever by her genuine love of life, her family, and her Lord . We all felt better for having been with her. She personified Mother Theresa's command, "Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier." Steph made us smile much.
Love to you and the kids,

David, I am very saddened to learn about Stephanie's passing. Stephanie was a student worker of mine in the State 4-H Office when she was at LSU and you and she had just begun to date. She was the life of our office -her smile (which she always had) was infectious and we had so much fun when she was there -- I always looked forward to the days she worked. Selfishly, I hated to see her graduate and leave -- it was dull without her. We kept in touch through the years via phone calls, visits and Christmas cards (which I looked forward to see how much the children had grown). My heart goes out to you, the children and her family - the world has lost a very bright light. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Stephanie, I am so glad you are finally free from the body that betrayed you. We do not grieve for you because you are with the Father and we know that you are at peace. We grieve for ourselves and those who were closest to you and will miss you the most. As they try to imagine a life without you, they will come to realize that even though they may no longer have your gentle touch and softly spoken affections, they will always have your love and you will never truly leave them. RIP Sweet Lady
