Stephanie Jane Barker of Hermiston passed away in Hermiston on Sept. 19, 2021 at the age of 57.
She was born on Oct. 20, 1963 in Lincoln, Neb. to Wilber and Mary Phroper Barker.
Stephanie moved with her family to Carlton, where she lived throughout her childhood and attended school. After completing school, she resided between Carlton and Hermiston for several years before moving to Hermiston permanently in 1982. She had resided in the Hermiston area for the past 39 years.
Stephanie enjoyed watching the Sons of Anarchy show and playing video poker. She loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren, who were a huge part of her life. She also became grandma to many children who were not part of her family. She loved going on lunch dates with a dear friend. She had a heart of gold and was always willing to help those in need, and she was the life of the party who everyone wanted to be around.
She is survived by two daughters, Betsy (Daniel Sandoval) Jones and children, Shawn, Dominick, Ashlyn, Audrey, Kassidee and Lucas, and Rebecca (Richard) Griffin and children, Austin, Matthew, Zuri, Dylan and Tristan; sisters, Dawna Mitchell, Paula Moe, Eugena Barker and Mary Van Gorder; brother, Charlie Barker; and numerous extended family and friends.
