A person who could go to the same location 10 times, and still turn Left on the wrong road every time? That was my sister, Stephanie. I’m allowed to joke about it because we share that trait. If you put us together, you could cancel it – we’re taking double the wrong turns while arguing about whether or not the house is yellow or light blue with lots of flowers around it (Steph), until someone finally starts flashing the porch light on the BRICK house with one tree and no flowers. You could count on Steph showing up late, but you could always count on her showing up, and always greeting you with the same unconditional love that knew no bounds. \n \n\nSteph had the prettiest, most genuine smile, that lit up the room. She had the biggest, most forgiving heart, but please don’t mess with her babies! Steph was only 4’ 11 ½” (Don’t forget that ½ in!!), but she stood tall for those she loved.\n\nAbove ALL, her son’s, Adam (17) and Aden (11). Those boys were the light in Steph’s eyes and she never shined brighter than she did when she was with them. Next were her nieces and nephews: Christian, Niasia, Maile, Marcus, and Kalel. Grand nieces and nephews: Lani, Kailani, East, and Kaiden.\n\nSteph had the power to change any mood with her voice. When she sang, people shut up and listened. She had a beautiful voice and the ability to make any song her own. I have no doubt that she’s up there, in heaven, out singing the choir leader and doing Angel makeovers! She loved doing makeup and hair for anyone and did an amazing job. If you had a secret you just couldn’t hold in and needed to tell somebody, Steph was who you told. She would protect your secret and never judge you for it. She may have reminded you every now and then, if she needed ammunition, but you knew she had your secret under lock with no key and you could trust her.\n\n\nSteph, we will forever LOVE you and miss you. Please tell Mom we love her and will you please ask her where those black boots went?!?? You can tell me when I see you again. I love you!!!!!!!!!\n\n\nStephanie was preceded in death by Anne Miller (Grandmother), Albert Stevens (Grandfather), Yvonne Stevens (Grandmother), Paula Miller (Mom), Sherwin Stevens (Uncle), Kelly Stevens (Aunty), Devontre Brooks (Nephew), Kierra Brooks (Niece), Elijah Brooks (Nephew).\n\n\nStephanie is survived by, James Miller (Father), Terrell Thurston (Husband), Adam and Aden Thurston (Sons), Jodi Brooks (Sister), Travis and Maria Kealoha (Brother), Christian Brooks (Nephew), Niasia Brooks (Niece), Maile Brooks (Niece), Marcus Kealoha (Nephew), Kalel Kealoha (Nephew), Lani Preddy (Grand Niece), Kailani Brooks (Grand Niece), East Preddy (Grand Nephew), Kaiden Brooks (Grand Nephew).\n\n \n\nWe will host a balloon release to remember Stephanie on Sunday @ 5pm, at Lake Crabtree."}},"city":"Henderson","county":"Vance","state":"North Carolina","deathdate":"10/15/2023","age":37,"user_updated":true,"image":{"localFile":{"publicURL":"/static/6e4aa34c9c845537b3d94cc9bba9b6b6/image0_6_190c4f0f7e.jpeg"}}}},{"node":{"id":"58aac154-c7d4-5dba-8304-d396e5ebf972","slug":"2023-10-15-Angela-Hinton","name":"Angela Hinton","content":{"data":{"content":"Angela “Tinkerbell” Long Hinton, 53, born on December 7, 1969, went to be with her Lord and Savior on October 15, 2023.

She was loving, thoughtful, loud – as many know, bickering was her love language. She loved to be in charge and was known for her fabulous cooking. Tink made every occasion special, over the top, and “extra,” widely regarded amongst her family and friends as the holiday queen. She loved the Lord, making a joyful noise with her voice, a good party, and making people smile with her craftiness at VBS, weddings, and other events while utilizing her talents for balloons, hair/makeup, coordinating outfits/t-shirts, and countless others. She loved her family most of all and no matter what she was doing always showed up with a smile on her face and love in her heart. \n\nThe Celebration of Life service will be held at 1:30 PM on Sunday, October 22, 2023, at Fuquay-Varina United Methodist Church, 100 S Judd Pkwy SE, Fuquay-Varina, NC 27526.

She was born on September 26, 1919, in Rowland, NC, to her loving parents Asa and Blennie Ammons.  Bert was preceded in death by her father, mother, sister Evelyn Jackson, brother Leon Ammons, former husband Ralph B. Lassiter, and her daughter Carol Lemons.\n\nBert will be fondly remembered as a loving mother, fun-loving friend, and avid bridge player.  Education was extremely important to Bert.  She graduated from UNC-G (formerly “Women’s College”), and proudly served as a teacher, library assistant and teacher’s aide in NC.  She was a proud and enthusiastic supporter of East Montgomery High School football, even after her three children had graduated from there.  She never missed a home game for many years and was recognized by the school for attending 100 consecutive home games.\n\nIn her free time, Bert enjoyed indulging in her hobbies, which included reading, playing cards (especially bridge), doing sudoku, and dancing.  She was involved with her community of Candor, NC, and her church.  She truly loved the beach, spending many summers at the family house at Long Beach, and in later years, going on family beach trips with a houseful of 14-17 folks. The most important thing to Bert was family.  \n\nBert was a faithful member of Candor United Methodist Church, where she found fellowship and support.  She was an active member of the church choir and especially loved singing in the church’s Christmas cantata for many years.  Her faith played an important role in her life, providing her with strength and guidance.\n\nBert is survived by her children, Susan Lassiter Lampley and Ralph B. Lassiter, Jr (Ann), as well as her son-in law Richard Lemons, her grandchildren Stephen Lemons (Megumi), Richard Lemons, Jr. (Leigh Ann), Matthew Lemons, Gentry Lassiter (Rebecca), Leigh Lampley Martin (Kane), Krista Lassiter Carr and Will Lampley.  She is also survived by her great-grandchildren Vivian and Joshua Lemons, Emma and Rose Lassiter, and Lily Martin.
