Stephanie E. Lause
Apr 12, 1982 - Mar 3, 2023
Sandusky
Stephanie E. Lause, 40, of Sandusky, passed away unexpectedly early Friday morning, March 3, 2023, at Firelands Regional Medical Center, Main Campus, Sandusky.
She was born April 12, 1982, in Findlay, the daughter of Daniel Eugene Lause and Mary Jo (Kish) Lause Hart. She self-admittedly graduated from The School of Hard Knocks. Stephanie was a vibrant soul and it is with extraordinarily heavy hearts that we say goodbye.
Stephanie was a loving mother to Markie and Waylen, who were her entire world. Stephanie was a zealous sister and professional daughter. She was a loyal friend to many, many beautiful souls on this Earth. She could fill a room with laughter without skipping a beat. She was an artist at heart and her happy place was with a blank canvas and plethora of acrylic paint. She loved music and the way it could speak the words of her soul. Most recently, she enjoyed riding her bike in the beautiful weather and meeting strangers on the street.
She enjoyed cooking delicious meals for others, but she avoided the clean up at all costs. Her smile could light up a room and her laugh was oddly contagious. She didn't necessarily have a lot of material things to give to others, but what she did have, she freely shared with those that she loved. Stephanie lived a hard life, but she spent her time on this Earth trying to be better every day. Stephanie will be lovingly remembered by many and her spirit is free to fly high and be at peace.
She is survived by her two sons, Mark Palinski III and Waylen Palinski, both of Huron; siblings, Teri McGinnis, Zach (Jess) Lause, Katie (Kyle Roth) Hart, Emily (Justice) Foreman, and Nikki and Kelly Lause; and numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Stephanie was preceded in death by her loving parents; devout brother, Daniel Lause; stepbrother, Eric Wayne Kreisher; stepfather, Tom Wierman; and maternal and paternal grandparents.
It was her wish to be cremated.
Visitation will be 4-7 p.m. Monday, March 13, 2023, at David F. Koch Funeral and Cremation Services, 520 Columbus Avenue, Sandusky. There will be a time to share memories of Stephanie following visitation.
Donations can be made to the family to help with service expenses and for her beautiful children and their future endeavors.
