Stephany Lynn Nixon-Ahnert's Obituary
Beloved beautiful mommy, daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin and friend; Stephany Lynn Nixon-Ahnert, age 39, left this world unexpectedly on July 13, 2019, into the loving arms of our heavenly Father. Stephany was born in Tacoma, Washington on January 16, 1980 to Steve Nixon and Leslie Jangard, and born again as a child of God in 1992. She grew up in Puyallup, Washington where she attended Maplewood, Aylen and PHS, and Puyallup Community Baptist Church. Stephany became a dental assistant and worked the front office in finance before marrying Jesse Ahnert, then giving birth to her son Axl whom she dearly beloved and encouraged.
Stephany lived life to the fullest and easily made friends. She had a picture-perfect smile and caring personality with compassion for the underdog, and fearlessly passionate when opportunity knocked to help someone less fortunate. She was very thoughtful and paid attention to the needs and wants of others before herself, always setting things aside to help a friend in need.
