Gary Akenhead Sad and terrible news to hear of Steph’s passing. She was smart, witty, and so kind and caring. A truly wonderful soul. My thoughts and prayers go out to those who were so close to her and to those who cared so deeply for her throughout her illness. My memories of her go back to childhood and her kindness to my maternal grandparents in the last years of their lives, how good she was to my mother in her last years, and her gentle and tender kindness to me when my life partner died suddenly. The world was a better place because she was in it. My brother brings my heart with him to her memorial service.

Laura Brinkerhoff Palmer I immediately recognized Steph’s brilliant smile when I saw the obituary in the Calgary Herald. I haven’t seen her for ages, since we were in high school, but nonetheless, wanted to offer her family my condolences. Our family and the Mawer family have been friends for many years.
