She was a amazing lady. And a great teacher who cared about her students. I know my son loved her. Prayers to her children and her family. May she rest in peace. God sure gained another angel.
My sister, Pat and I met Steph (and Sue) at the Mercy Cancer Center. The three of us were all being treated for cancer. Stephanie’s radiance and strength were powerful! She will be missed…in her relatively short life, she made a huge impact on everyone she met. Her smile…wow, it lit up a room!!! God bless you all.
Dear niece of Kevin Iggens, Connie Danner and Sandra Norris Thomas. We love you so much 💖
This is very heartbreaking for me. She was my 3rd grade teacher and I always bragged to everyone how she was the best teacher I ever had. I will forever love and miss her she is the person who got me through school even tho I hated it. I love her dearly ☹️ forever she will be missed.
I only know of Stephanie because of my dear friend Sue Stuart who kept me informed so I could pray for her as she fought so hard Now my prayers are for the family and friends of this courageous lady. God bless you all. Barb Burwell
She taught my daughter Maddie in third grade at Bayless just two years ago and she had the most infectious smile, attitude, and personality. She would hug Maddie every day. She loved so deeply her students. To her family and her kids, know that your mom loved you and she is definitely an angel for sure and she will be forever missed. Maddie will continue to wear her Crestman Crew’s shirt in honor because she loved her so much!
My name is Lincoln Mohr and I was one of her students in 3rd grade. She was an amazing teacher and always helped me with everything. It broke my heart to see that she had passed away and I wonder to myself how such an amazing young woman could be taken so fast. I hope she will live happily in the afterlife. Mrs. Chrestman’s student, Lincoln

Stephanie was an inspiration to her students, colleagues and family. She will be deeply missed.
She taught my daughter Kaleigh in third grade. Kaleigh absolutely loved her. Even after leaving her classroom, Kaleigh would always stop by to just say hi and get a hug. She really cared and loved all her students. She will be greatly missed.
Dear Natalie, Matthew, Alyssa, Ria, Jimmy, and Sean…
My heart is so broken for you all. I’m so sorry. No one deserves this.
Just know your mother, wife, daughter, and sister will always be a shining star in a world sometimes filled with darkness. There will come a day when you will be able to look back and smile on the memories you all made together.
Sending all my love and prayers for peace. May Stephanie be lifted up on the wings of angels and her soul have everlasting peace. She is an angel who gained her wings much earlier than we ever wanted her to. May her ever loving kind and loving spirit surround you all.
Mrs. Chrestman would always smile and she would make my day better when she was in the hallways saying hi to other students.
I am sorry to hear of this. I send my condolences and hugs to all who knew her best. She is at peace now and no more pain or suffering. Keep her best qualities with you and share them. I don’t really know her but I am sure I saw her in the halls. I just want to send my sympathy and agree that Cancer Sucks!
It saddens me to hear about her passing. She was such a kind soul and I know she is resting in eternal peace.
