It is with the deepest sadness imaginable to announce the unexpected loss of Stephanie Kress, 53, of Pensacola, FL on Friday, March 24, 2023, due to heart related complications from a pulmonary embolism.

Stephanie's love of the arts led her to a theater degree and later a career in arts administration at Pensacola Museum of Art. When she became a mother, she nourished this love of arts and culture in her family. She loved her and her father's birth country of Germany and would explore and visit with family and friends. She volunteered with Montessori School of Pensacola and developed deep friendships with staff and parents. Her smile, laughter, determination, compassion, and love will be dearly missed.

She is survived by her husband, Jamie; sons, Max, Stellan, and Lawson White; her parents, Cathy Kress, Guenther Kress, and Randi Miller (stepmother); as well as her sister, Lola Kress.

Visitation will be held from 5:30pm until a Memorial Service to begin at 6:00pm Thursday, March 30, 2023, at Harper-Morris Memorial Chapel.
