Stephanie Darrell

Vest

Our mother, Stephanie Darnell Vest, a beloved, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, passed away on September 22, 2026 surrounded by her loved ones.

Born to Darlene Vest and Ronald Parham, Stephanie attended Hughes High school and later pursued a career in HealthCare. Stephanie was truly a superwoman to everyone who knew and loved her. She was a devoted mother who loved her children and always kept her family close to her heart. She loved generously, care deeply and had a special way of making those around her feel loved.

Stephanie will always be remembered for the little things that made her special: her famous Taco Salad, her love of baking, especially brownies, her favorite TV shows, her love for pink, and her love for perfumes, purses, jewelry, especially her bracelets. Let’s not forget the way she loved her braids. She enjoyed spending time with her friends and family and creating memories with the people she loved.

One of Stephanie’s greatest joys was being a grandmother. She absolutely adored her grandbaby, Kynslee, who was so often the center of her conversation and her heart. She was also blessed to have two older granddaughters Shamiya and Shania, come into her life, and she loved them dearly. The love she had for her grandchildren was undeniable, and the memories they shared will be treasured forever.

Stephane was proceeded in death by her father, Ronald Parham: brother: Dwan Lewis Vest and her son: Dwan Montez Vest.

She leaves behind her mother: Darlene; her sister Yolanda; her sons: Daqwan, Damen, Damir, Ricky and Richard; her daughters: De’Misha and Daizya; her granddaughters: Shamiya, Shania, and Kynslee; her nieces: Kaiya and Rian; and many family members and friends who will forever cherish her memory.
