Stephanie Lamb Thompson

Stephanie Lamb Thompson, died unexpectedly on Saturday, February 11, 2023, at her residence. Stephanie was 40 years old. The family is deeply saddened and shocked by her sudden death.

Born on October 19, 1982, in Sacramento California, Stephanie’s feisty personality entertained her parents and siblings every day. As a young child, she and her family left California and moved to Arizona. She attended high school in Peoria. She met the love of her life while attending church in North Phoenix in 2006 and was married in 2007 to Matthew Thompson in the Mesa Arizona LDS Temple.

Stephanie’s fiery personality served her well as she worked for Wells Fargo as a collection’s agent. She quickly became the number one agent, being described as a “lion” on the phone. In her spare time, Stephanie learned many skills while renovating her home with her husband. From laying flooring, to installing her kitchen backsplash, Stephanie would set her mind to something and get it done. Stephanie was a beautiful piano player. She loved to dance, and even spent time as a child in gymnastics and as a cheerleader in high school.

Despite being a “firecracker”, Stephanie grew up to become one of the most compassionate and caring people that most would ever have the pleasure of meeting. Devoted to her children, Stephanie spent every moment of every day striving to be the best mother. She awoke daily with new resolve to gift her children with a truly magical childhood.

Stephanie was caring to her core. Her deep loyalty to those she loved and her kind natured heart became an example to everyone around her. She had a deep well of compassion and empathy to draw from, which she offered freely to others. It is evident that her time on this earth was to be a powerful example to others of what Christlike love truly looks like. For those who were lucky enough to break through her barriers, Stephanie adopted as family, and loved fiercely and profoundly. Stephanie’s love of God grew tremendously in her adult years, and she often loved to spend time in nature. This is where she felt closest to her Heavenly Father.

Stephanie is survived by her loving husband Matthew Thompson; her four children, Payton, Kaitlyn, Avery, and Gwen; parents Randy and Sharon Lamb; her siblings, Kendra (Darrell) Brimhall, Brett (Hailie) Lamb, Nick (Courtney) Lamb, and Brandon; Grandmother Rama Ford, as well as aunts and uncles, cousins, in-laws, nieces and nephews, and many dear friends.

Stephanie’s light is still here. It can be seen in the eyes of her daughters; her spirit can be felt in the air and in the sunshine; and those who love her have witnessed many miracles from Heaven, as she reaches out and pulls strings from the other side of the veil. Knowing we have an angel guiding us from the other side, it is a comfort to know that we will never walk alone as we forge through this mortal life. Stephanie had the most beautiful smile and the most contagious laugh. We can still hear her laugh hang in the air, and we long for the day when we can hear it again. Until that time, we choose to live our lives filled with acts of Christlike service, as Stephanie did.
