Remembering Steph
My thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of Stephanie Wilson. Steph was a true force of nature here at Cape. She gave 100% to her students and the staff. She was a force to be reckoned with. I will miss our daily morning hugs and “Hey doll” RIP my friend. xo

Wow! So surreal. Steph and I have worked together over 19 years. She and I met at the 9th grade campus. She was a spitfire. Always had a lot to say with a strong opinion. She could handle those kids with tough love. Steph and I enjoyed some good times over some great cocktails. She would call me Savage until she heard one of the kids call me Sav one day. She said that makes sense just to shorten it. From that day on she would call me Sav. We spent a few days at Jeff’s celebrating a hard day’s work. One thing for sure she loved us and we loved her. She would stop by my office every morning just to see if I was at work. I swear she was just being nosey(LOL). But that was Steph. She always knew the gossip but would never tell her own. I am going to miss her smile, sassiness and most of all love for the kids. She would do anything to help me out. Please know she was loved and treasured by us all. James 4:14 says, For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little while and vanisheth away. Steph lived each day as such and her sweet, sweet memories will live on in my heart forever.
Love always, Robin Savage(Sav)

My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Stephanie. I have gotten really close with Steph over these past few years and this is a hard pill to swallow. I will always keep her in my heart.
To share a fond memory of both of us, we were trying to get a student (C F-D) to get all his work in at the end of this year and day after day it was always something else with him and we would just constantly be on him, but in the end, all of our hard work paid off and he passed his classes. I can hear her now “C - sit down and stop making noises and PUT THE GAME AWAY” this is something we said to him almost daily. I was able to have a conversation with her on a day there were no students and we both admitted to each other that we enjoyed that distraction from him daily and we wouldn’t have it anyother way.
I have learned a lot from Steph on how to not let things get to me and just roll with the punches. I would always go to her as if she was my counselor, and I always got the best advice.
She will be missed terribly. “Hey Girly” till we meet again, Mandy Miller
Cape High School will not be the same without Steph. She truly cared about seeing each student succeed and pushed them to success in her no-nonsense way. Her memory brings a smile to my face and a tear to my eye.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-2 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die.
No one knows when their time will be to leave this life, but Steph lived hers well. I will miss you my dear!!!
Love, Audrey
Steph was so special to me. I worked very closely with her off and on for seven years. She was one-on-one with one of my students for a year and that is how we really connected. In addition we spent 30 mins together daily that year in advisory. The year after that she helped so many of my kids graduate. Every year since she had nothing but kind words and love for everyone and me particularly. I love her dearly and will always remember her as the brilliant woman she was.

I enjoyed working with Steph for 7 years and came to enjoy her own particular humor. She was an inspiration to all, students, staff, friends and family. She will be missed by everyone. Like scattered seeds, memories bloom forever.
Love Always, Cindy Rader
Hey Girlie,
Just a quick little message to let you know that you were one of the strongest people I’ve ever known and there ain’t nobody who will ever be as FEISTY as you. You owned it Girl!! I hope you are at peace now and I know you will show them angels up there in Heaven who’s boss. What can I say Steph, you were one of a kind and I am blessed to have crossed paths with you in this ginormous world. You will be deeply missed but never forgotten. Rest in peace my dear friend…I’ll be having a nice cold one or three on your behalf today, like I said, you will always be around in spirit. Here’s to YOU!
Love you Girlie!

Ever since I heard of your illness and passing, Steph has been weighing heavy on my mind. You know, some people go through life wondering what, if any impact, did I have on anyone? I have only known Steph for two years, but I can tell you undoubtedly, Steph’s impact and legacy is left with many, including me. First, the hundreds, if not thousands of kids ,she impacted by caring, teaching, coaching and supporting them in and outside the classroom. I watched you push kids, to “Finish your work!” You gave me that look like, “What the hell are you looking at newbie!” You helped them help themselves. You knew how to connect and motivate them. You made a difference and got so many kids to the place they need to be. YOU are the reason many of those kids were able to find success, rather than failure. As for the adults, I can only say, I learned a great deal from you, just by watching you. Seeing you and greeting you every day, “Hey Sunshine!” was a constant in my life that let me know I had a friend in my corner. Just like the kids, you gave me and many staff members the insight and knowledge to help us along the way. You are one the strongest, toughest and yet kindest people I have ever met. Rest easy friend, you have imprinted us all; kids and adults alike.

I was lucky to have met Steph in March, 2000 while being brand new at the district. She was always upbeat and down to earth and really helped me get settled in my new endeavor. Then luck struck twice last year when I came to the high school with Steph helping me yet again to get settled in my new position. I will miss you, Steph!! Thank you for all the love and laughs <3
Much love, Kelly
Stephanie was a devoted teacher always trying to teach life-long lessons and raise our students to be the best, and work to their fullest potential. She was helpful to the entire Cape staff, offering to help anyone. She is dearly missed and will never be forgotten. My prayers, always, to Stephanie and her family.

I have worked with Steph everyday for 2 years. I am really going to miss coming into school in the mornings (after her because she beat me in every single day) and having our chats, setting up our day, and talking about our household chores. She would always listen to the stories I told her about my kids, our travels, and even a complaint here and there. Steph would always offer me wise advice and a quick witted comment when no one else was listening. These last few years working with her have been nothing short of a true blessing and I am a better person because of her.
Thanks for the good times and laughs…

Words cannot even begin to describe Steph. I was able to work with her for 18 years. Her humor was second to none. She was the only one I allowed to call me Mushy. There are so many good times with her and I will never forget her. I know she will be watching over us.
