Stephanie Montgomery
Graveside services for Stephanie Montgomery, 46, West Plains, Missouri, will be held at 2:00 p.m., Tuesday, July 9, 2024, at Union Grove Cemetery, under the direction of Robertson-Drago Funeral Home.
Stephanie Montgomery was an adored daughter, wife, and sister. She was born June 7th, 1978 in Springfield, Missouri. Stephanie lived most of her life in Lexington, South Carolina, but moved to West Plains 6 years ago where she achieved her lifelong dream of returning to where her parents were raised. It’s hard to describe someone that was bigger than life. Stephanie had an infectious smile, a happy go lucky outlook, and ability to make anything into a joke. To know Stephanie was to love Stephanie. She lit up a room with her sparky personality. Stephanie had a love for many things but especially music, history, and art. Stephanie was one of the sweetest people you would ever meet. No matter the problem, big or small, she would always be there for you.
Stephanie was proceeded in death by her Mother Phyllis Montgomery, Father William Montgomery, Maternal Grandparents Cecil and Virginia Riley, Paternal Grandparents Gerald and Flora Lee Montgomery, and Uncles Richard Eakin and Tom Prevett.
She is survived in death by her husband Jason Brad Reese, Sister Jessica Goss, Niece Anna Goss, Nephew Stone Goss, Aunt Jean Ann Looney and husband Jaime Looney, Uncle Mark Riley and wife Yvonne Riley, Aunt Barbara Eakin, Aunt Pat Wake and husband Johnny Wake. Stephanie also had many cousins that she loves dearly.
Visitation services will be held from 6:00 until 8:00 p.m., Monday, at Robertson-Drago Funeral Home. Memorial contributions may be made to the family and may be left at or mailed to Robertson-Drago Funeral Home, 211 West Main, West Plains, MO 65775.

I worked with Stephanie for many years at Lexington Medical Center in South Carolina. She was a wonderful person and easy to love.
She helped coordinate the Pink Glove Dance at Lexington Medical Center that was for breast cancer. We won that year!
Stephanie will be missed greatly.
Rest easy my friend. We’ll see you again.

Stephanie and Brad were our neighbors for 10 years. They were more than neighbors, but were family to us. Stephanie was always there for those that she cared about. An avid animal lover like us, she would care for our animals like they were her own. She rescued me when I took a fall and broke a wrist. That was just her nature. She cared so much for others. I remember her telling me about the pink glove dance competition for breast cancer. She took the contest and ran with it and next thing I knew, I’m watching her on Fox News! She will always be remembered by those who knew her and loved her as the most caring individual you could ever meet. Fly high sweet G.G. We were so blessed to have you in our lives.

Stephanie will certainly be missed by all that loved her and counted her as a friend. I know many of us that had the pleasure of working with her at Lexington Medical in the OR will always cherish the memories and good times we each had when working with Stephanie. We will remember you all in prayer as you go on without her. May God comfort you in the days to come. Hope you know how much you touched everyone’s life you came in contact with.
Love and hugs to her husband and family.
