Stephanie Alexis Rusu, age 25, of Fountain Hill and Hellertown, Pa., passed away on Wednesday, Jan. 22, 2020. She was born on June 6, 1994 in Atlanta, Ga.
She was the most loving and compassionate person. She had the most beautiful smile and made everyone she came into contact with laugh. She loved bowling, played softball for many travel teams and was a pitcher for Saucon Valley High School and Northampton Community College. She cherished the friendships she made through sports.
Her family is so thankful she found her soulmate, Robert Stezar Jr., and became an amazing stepmother to Rob’s daughter, Christina. They had three-and-a-half wonderful years together and were planning their wedding.
