Stephanie Renee Hanks

Stephanie Renee Fritts Hanks, 51, passed away peacefully at her home in Willis, Texas. Born on December 20, 1973, in Las Vegas, Nevada, Stephanie lived a life full of compassion, adventure, and love.

For over 20 years, Stephanie dedicated herself to nursing—a career that reflected her deep commitment to caring for others. Her kindness extended beyond people to animals, always offering comfort and love wherever it was needed.

Stephanie adored her family and embraced life with a zest for adventure, especially on the open road riding motorcycles. She cherished the outdoors, loved being near water, and found joy in Mickey Mouse and the magic of Christmas, which she shared with family and friends.

She is survived by her loving husband, Daniel Hanks; daughters Mollie Fulwider (Ryan) and Lauren Willett; son AJ Willett; grandchildren Kaydence and Wyatt Fulwider; brothers J and Trevor Fritts, Damian and David Nash; sisters Tristan Fritts and Kayla Antal (Todd); seven nieces, two nephews, and her beloved fur babies—Sophie, Loki, Kratos, Ameana, Cujo, Maddie, and Lilly—along with numerous friends and extended family. She was preceded in death by her father, Alfred Fritts.

Stephanie’s legacy of love, laughter, and compassion will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
