Stephanie united in marriage to Mr. Keith Blackshear in Grimes County in March of 1996. Stephanie had one son, Savaun Young when God blessed them to wed.  To their beautiful union God gave them a son, Keyshawn Blackshear and a daughter Keara Blackshear.  Stephanie dedicated her professional life to the medical field where she worked as a medical assistant for over 20 years.

Stephanie was an intelligent beautiful woman.  She was a great mother, sister, daughter, and friend that was very caring and went out of her way to help, support, and love her children and her family.  She had an outrageous and contagious personality that would light up any room she entered.
