Stephanie grew up in Memphis and later Nashville, Tennessee and graduated from St. Bernard Academy in 1989. She attended Lambuth College in Jackson, Tennessee, receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications in 1993. While in college, she was a member of Sigma Kappa Sorority. She held numerous jobs, in commercial finance and retail sales, over her career.
Stephanie was an enthusiastic football fan and particularly loved the Tennessee Titans and the Ole Miss Rebels, the school her brother, sister-in-law and nephews attended. She attended many Ole Miss sporting events with her family. She was a sweet and gentle soul; a devoted daughter, sister, sister-in-law, niece, cousin and aunt; and a loyal friend. Although it is comforting that she is now in the presence of her Lord and Savior, her presence on earth will be intensely missed by the family and friends who knew and loved her.
She was preceded in death by her grandparents Theo and Lina Rippee and Woodrow and Virginia Bond; her uncles Leslie, Lloyd, Sonny and Gerald Rippee, Bryce Bond and Ernest Reece; her aunts Donna Noe and May Hood; and her cousin Justin Shields.
She is survived by her parents Doyle and Virginia Rippee of Nashville, TN; her brother and sister-in-law Brian and Stephanie Rippee of Jackson, MS; her nephews Davis Rippee and Walker Rippee of Jackson, MS and Brian Scott Rippee of Dallas, TX; her aunt and uncle Martha and Howard Shields of Frisco, TX; her cousin John Shields and his wife Jaquelyn of Frisco, TX; her aunt Neva Dean Reese of Charleston, MS; and many more cousins and second cousins scattered throughout Mississippi.
The family would like to thank all of Stephanie’s healthcare providers for the excellent medical care she received during her illness.
A Celebration of Life service will be held Friday, March 4, 2022 in the chapel at Woodmont Christian Church at 11am with Dr. Clay Stauffer officiating. Inurnment at the Woodmont Christian Columbarium will immediately follow the service.
The family asks that, in lieu of flowers, memorials be made to Daystar Counseling Ministries, Inc., 2801 Azalea Place, Nashville, TN 37204.
