Stephanie C. Ross
SCARBOROUGH - Stephanie C. Ross passed away unexpectedly at home on March 3, 2025, at the age of 24.
She is survived by her brother, Tim and his fiancé Sarah; as well as her parents, John and Carolyn Ross.
Stephanie grew up loving music, riding horses, taking family trips to Disney World, and enjoying sports including tennis, swimming and basketball. She loved animals including her childhood cats Sarafina and Coco, and her new kittens Mocha and Cody.
Stephanie was a truly beautiful soul inside and out, and she cared for others very deeply. Her remarkable passion for helping others led her to nursing school at the University of Maine in Orono, where she made the Dean's list each semester and graduated with her nursing degree this past December. She recently achieved her long-term goal of working at Maine Medical Center in Portland where she was eager to begin her first 12-hour shift and third week as an RN.
Stephanie and her father, John had a special father-daughter bond that led them to Bible study, prayer, and attending Eastpoint Christian Church each Sunday, followed by lunch. They attended a five-hour church service on New Year's Eve where Stephanie's soft, beautiful singing voice was heard by her father for the first time.
During the last few months of Stephanie's life, her love for Jesus Christ had grown so deep that we believe He called her home to heaven to be with Him. Stephanie will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her, and she will be remembered for her kind heart and compassion for others.
