Stephanie Jayne (formerly Steven John) Ancona, born June 10, 1969, passed away suddenly on Saturday, June 22, 2013. She is survived by her loving wife of 13 years Leah Ancona, daughter Jessica Ancona, parents John and Dorothy (Jakoubek) Ancona, sister and husband Mary and Keith Aggas, nieces and nephew Elizabeth, Andrew, Cece, and Rosie, and uncle and aunt Frank and Joann Ancona of Palm Beach, Florida. Stephanie also leaves behind numerous good friends and “family” that have supported her these last numbers of years as she turned her life around and lived as she always dreamed. She recently made Dean’s List at Forest Park Community College for the third semester in a row and was creating beautiful pottery. She possessed amazing artist talents, a great capacity for love, and was always willing to lend a hand to others. In her honor, always remember to “Live the life you imagined.”
