Born and raised in Freehold New Jersey, Stephanie moved to Weston, CT, with her family in the 1970s and attended Weston High School.

Stephanie was an avid reader, enjoyed music, dancing, art and travel. She loved all sports especially the Yankees, golfing and horse racing. For the past several years she co-owned a shop at Captains Cove Seaport in Bridgeport, CT, where you would often see her dancing, selling hats and soaking up the sun eating her every present bag of potato chips with hot peppers. She loved to bake and many will miss her chocolate chip cookies and Irish soda bread. She was kind hearted, loved to help people especially the homeless and enjoyed visiting with her family and friends. Stephanie is survived by her sister Cynthia Reiss, her brother, William Reiss of Black Rock, CT and her eldest brother, Frederick Reiss of California.
