Stephanie Maureen Gonzales

Stephanie’s earthly journey started February 10, 1951 when she was born to Paul and Gloria Case in Salt Lake City, Utah, where she lived for her lifetime.

She grew up in a large family with 9 siblings (4 sisters & 5 brothers). In 1970 she married Gilbert Gonzales (later divorced) and started a family. She worked for the State Of Utah for 25+ years before retiring. 

In earlier days she helped coach both daughters softball teams, enjoyed her camping trips to Trial Lake & trips to Boise visiting family. She loved listening to music and dancing while snapping her fingers. Favorites were Sam Cooke, The Temptations, Fleetwood Mac & many more.

She loved watching sports with her grandkids. If the Utes, Jazz, Dolphins or Angels weren't playing that day, she didn't know what to do with herself. She enjoyed sitting outside in her lawn chair, with a smoke & drinking a beer. 

On December 2, 2022 Stephanie made her transition from this earth.  We will definitely miss her stubbornness, sass, feistiness and matter of fact attitude. 

Stephanie is survived by her two daughters Maureen (Anthony) and Bernadette. Grandchildren: Joey, Christopher, Mariah & Shambré. Great grandchildren: JJ, Aryanna, Danté, Ky-Mani, Nino. Valentino & newest addition Sarai.  Siblings: Paul(Janie), Roxanne(Scott), Philip, Kevin, Shannon, Darren & Jamie.  Many nieces & nephews. Also her dog Buck, who stayed by her side with every step she took.
Preceded in death by her parents Paul & Gloria, sisters Traci, Christine, nephew Matthew & Jazz (her Australian Shepherd who was always by her side).

The family would like to thank the ICU staff at Salt Lake Regional Hospital, especially “Ricky”, who provided care, guidance and genuine support during this difficult time. 

~There is only one of us. One consciousness manifesting into different forms. Stephanie’s time in her earthly body no longer, her soul transitions to a space so free, void of pain, full of love & light, a space with no boundaries. Why cry for a soul set free, when this is the way it’s meant to be~
