Stephanie Ann Schultz (37) of Helena, MT left us suddenly due to natural causes at her home on Friday, February 24, 2023.

Stephanie was born in Helena, MT on October 13, 1985, to Robert Jean and Renee Garrett. As a child, Stephanie was a fun-loving free spirit ready to conquer the earth with her older sister, Kristie. She always adored many different types of animals, reptiles, bugs, you name it, she'd find it. Taking great pleasure in torturing her little sister Mandi. Don't be fooled, she was the best sister around. There was never a time she told us "no" whenever and wherever needed; she was just always there. She was an incredible dancer and extremely talented in many ways. Furthermore, she never missed a pumpkin carving or egg coloring occasion with Grandma Roehl; even as an adult. Her Papa called her his "little Princess" and at every family event you would catch her sitting on his lap at least once. She graduated from High School in June 2004. Shortly after, she pursued a career in cosmetology.

Stephanie married her charming husband Brandon Schultz on May 07, 2013. Their relationship was kind, full of love, and often very playful. Brandon showered her with passion, he often came home with flowers just to say "I love you". Flowers were her thing and she had no problem showing the world every time she got them. They took great pride in building things together. She had numerous cars she "tricked out", however I think her 4Runner was her absolute favorite. They did a wonderful job remodeling their home and yard as a team. Brandon always supported her crazy ideas and worked hard to make sure they all came true. Stephanie was a loving-devoted wife and mother to two beautiful girls, Payten and Aleaya. Her family was her primary focus, their needs always came before hers. In her career choice, she was able to have the freedom to be a full time stay at home mom but maintain a healthy work balance at the salon. Her time was solely focused on doing all the things with her girls, filling the motherhood shoes she had always dreamed of.

As the summer months began to approach you would find Stephanie preparing for camping trips at confederate bay, this was something that she found true peace in with her girls and husband.  She loved to swim, paddle board, fish, and simply spend time with her family. If the girls were sick and at school, she would pick them up and take them to Jade Garden for a bowl of wonton soup. Great pleasure was found coloring with her girls, as well as being mesmerized by Payten's ability to play the violin, she even contemplated purchasing one for herself. Stephanie so gratefully utilized the cabin in Lincoln, always looking forward to a hot bath with a glass of wine.  There was a feeling of paradise there for her. She spent most of each morning engaging in delightful conversations with her beloved mother Renee and grandmother Marilyn. Kristie was her best friend from the moment of birth, they often found themselves jamming to the best songs as loud as possible sitting in the car in the driveway.

Stephanie truly had a heart of Gold and was full of compassion. Her personality was unique in so many ways, from her big, beautiful eyes to her quirky sarcastic fun. She was incredibly strong and independent, but never failed to lighten the room the moment she walked in. Her laugh was remarkable.  The understanding she had for each situation was always beautiful. She is going to be deeply missed by all in her family and the community. We are deeply sorry for all affected.
