Ashro Woman: Stephanie
Meet Ashro Woman of the Week, Stephanie from Sun Prairie WI
Stephanie is a mother, a regional manager in the healthcare industry, and a licensed minister who serves her community through a lifestyle of volunteerism.
It was her mother, “the epitome of THE VILLAGE mentality,” who influenced Stephanie the most. “Am I my brother’s keeper, YES, I AM! There will always be a need to fulfill. Do my part!”
Stephanie does her part by serving on her local police chief’s Board of Directors, volunteering with Child Advocacy Center and at church—and helping those who ask her for help whenever she can. As Stacy has matured, she has learned to ‘walk in her wisdom’—and along with that, how to create her own style.
“I do not fit into the traditional mold of style for a 59-year-old. I dress how I feel…I do not need a reason to dress up. It makes me feel good!”
