After the business was sold to son John in 1977, Stephanie continued to work in the store. In 1986 her husband John passed away. Stephanie could be seen working in the drugstore right up until the time she was hospitalized with her illness.

Stephanie was a lifetime member of the Ituna Ladies Hospital Auxiliary and the Ituna Ukrainian Orthodox Ladies Association. She also served in organizational capacities for curling in Ituna and was an active member of the Ituna Social Club. Curling was Stephanie's favourite sport and she played it as long as her health permitted. The camaraderie in curling was just as important to Stephanie as the game itself and it allowed her to develop many good and lasting friendships. She loved to travel and she saw many places in North America and abroad. Stephanie liked playing cards and gardening and in her later years enjoyed activities at the Ituna Social Club. The most important thing to Stephanie was her family. She loved them dearly, and all her relatives, especially her grandchildren, dearly loved her.
