Stephanie A. Lanzer

Stephanie A. Lanzer, 45, of Chillicothe, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday April 21, 2019, at 9:04 p.m., leaving behind her best friend and fiancé Rod Valentine.

She was born December 28, 1973 to Nancy (Brent) Goodman and the late Jeff (Wanda) Lanzer.

Stephanie is survived by her son; William Jackson (Matt) Stetzer of Lima, OH and her daughter Natalie Stetzer.  Also surviving are sisters; Beth (Trey) Poythress and Megan Goodman, brother; Nick Goodman, all of Richmond, VA, a step-brother; Kyle (Aarika) Osborne of Waverly, a step-sister; Carrie (Andy) Sears of Worthington, several nieces and nephews, and numerous friends in Chillicothe and in Richmond, where she graduated from J.R. Tucker High School.

She graduated from Shawnee State as a licensed Dental Hygienist, and from OU-Chillicothe as a Registered Nurse.  She worked in Home Health where she enjoyed talking and helping many people, even bringing home Snuggles the cat to help a patient who could no longer keep him.

Stephanie loved to talk and since the loss of her dad in 2012, spent every Thanksgiving volunteering at The Salvation Army, making more friends along the way.

She was one of a kind and will be missed by those who knew and loved her.
