The Stryker community is grieving the sudden loss of Stephanie Dawn Johnson, 52, who passed unexpectedly on October 8, 2025, at Parkview Bryan Hospital. Known for her kindness, dedication, and unwavering devotion to her family and work, Stephanie’s passing has left a profound void in the hearts of those who knew her.
Born in Bryan, Ohio, on October 8, 1973, to Jeff and April (Hornung) Bowers, Stephanie built a life marked by love, service, and resilience. She served as Admissions Supervisor at Bryan Hospital, where she was more than a coworker — she was a mentor, a friend, and a compassionate presence who made patients and colleagues alike feel valued. Her sharp mind and generous heart left an enduring impact on all who worked alongside her.
SUPPORT THE FAMILY - GOD BLESS YOU
Stephanie is survived by her loving husband, Ryan Johnson, whom she married on June 16, 2017, her children, and her cherished grandchildren: Braiden, Paityn, Aianna, Kaitlynn, Jaiden, Khloe, Sebastian, Tatum, Brandon, and Jocelyn. Her family was the center of her world, and she embraced her role as “Grammie” with unmatched warmth, attending every game, recital, and special moment with love and pride.
Despite enduring profound personal grief — having lost her son Brandon Jondreau and grandson Alexander Jondreau — Stephanie carried herself with strength, grace, and unwavering faith. Her siblings, Lance Bowers and Tiffany (Greg) Leininger, recall her as fiercely loyal and nurturing, always holding her family together through life’s storms.
Stephanie’s life extended beyond her family; she gave generously to her community, leaving a legacy of compassion, faith, and quiet strength. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Sara’s Garden, reflecting her lifelong commitment to helping others heal and thrive.
A visitation will be held on Saturday, October 25, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the First Baptist Church of Stryker, followed by a memorial service led by Pastor Sean Ingram. Friends, family, and community members are invited to honor Stephanie’s life — a life filled with purpose, kindness, and love that will not be forgotten.
Stephanie Dawn Johnson’s memory will live on in the countless lives she touched, from her family to her colleagues, reminding all that true legacy is measured by love, service, and the joy shared with others.
