Stephanie Michelle Trull

                  "  When We Lose Someone We Love, We Gain An Angel We Know "

 Our beloved and beautiful Stephanie Michelle Trull, was born on January 9, 1975 and entered into the Kingdom of Heaven on September 5, 2023.

Stephanie was greatly loved and adored by her parents, Vickie Jo Pinkerton, and the late Robert James Trull and was always a bright light in their lives. She had made her home in Haywood County all of her life and Stephanie Michelle made an instant impact on everyone who met her. Her radiating smile and her fun-spirited personality always brought joy and happiness to everyone around her.  Our hearts are broken by losing Stephanie but we shall hold onto her precious memory until we meet again. 

Following her graduation from Pisgah High School, she began her career as a licensed cosmetologist and for 28 dedicated years she delighted in taking care of her clients, who became just like family members to Stephanie. As we recall special memories of her life, we remember how she enjoyed music and her excitement of attending live concerts with family and friends. She had a passion for spending time outdoors and her joy of working in her flowers and tending to her plants were some of Stephanie’s most favorite moments. We can be certain that beautiful flowers surround her in her heavenly home.  Also, we shall never forget her compassion for all animals. Family gatherings and celebrations were always treasured by Stephanie and her great love for all her family was a blessing to each of them. We give thanks for her life and the loving imprint that Stephanie has left on our hearts for 48 wonderful years. She is now a beautiful angel in heaven and will be forever missed.    

Stephanie was preceded in death by her father, Robert James Trull; her maternal grandfather, Thomas Cleo Pinkerton and her paternal great-grandparents, Perry and Diccie Trull.
