On September 12, 1997, Stephanie married the love of her life, Joshua Lee Cunningham. Together they shared the joys of life and raising their two daughters for 27 years.

Forever cherishing their memories of Stephanie are her mother, Cheryl Winans and husband, Roger, of Volga; husband, Joshua Cunningham of Belington; two daughters: Haley Cunningham and companion, Kyle Barrera, of Belington, and Sierra Cunningham and husband, Cody Cussins, of Davis; two brothers: Mitchell Replogle and wife, Mindy, and Robert Winans and wife, Chantelle, both of Volga; two nieces: Jessica and Emily Feronti; two nephews: Dylan Replogle and Rhett Winans; father-in-law, Danny Cunningham of Buckhannon; and several aunts and uncles.

Stephanie graduated from Buckhannon-Upshur High School in 1993 and was Christian by faith. She enjoyed painting, crafting, camping, and riding jeeps or side-by-sides. Stephanie spent her days as a homemaker caring for her family and loved every moment. She was able to spend the maximum amount of time with her children and have an involved role in their lives which meant everything to her. Stephanie was a loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend and will be missed by all who knew her.
