Stephanie Joy Yoho

Mrs. Stephanie Joy Yoho, age 44, ended her two-and-a-half-year battle with cancer and paralysis and met her Savior in her heavenly home on July 10, 2022. Funeral services will be conducted Friday, July 15, 2022, at 5 P.M. at Lakeside Baptist Church in Clearwater, SC, with Pastors Tad Marshall, Ted Aschenbrand, Reggie Parker, and Walter Yoho officiating. The family will receive friends at the church one hour prior to the service. Interment will be in Ft. Jackson National Cemetery in Columbia, SC on Tuesday, June 19th at 12:00 P.M. Stephanie was born August 9, 1977, to Iris Parker Aschenbrand and the late Ted Aschenbrand Jr. She graduated from Pensacola Christian College, receiving her bachelor’s degree in elementary education. She married her beloved husband Walter in 2000. Stephanie was a devoted wife and mother and found her greatest joy in being a stay-at-home mom and in homeschooling her children. She shared her gift of teaching with others, teaching homeschool co-op classes and creating drama productions for the group. She truly was a gifted teacher and made an impact on many children. Stephanie walked with the Lord faithfully since coming to know her Savior at age 8. She always found her place in the body of Christ, ministering in many ways including volunteering in youth groups and children’s ministries during her years in Brandon, FL, Altoona, PA, and Ft. Meade, MD. She was an active member of Lakeside Baptist Church in Clearwater, SC. During her last two years battling cancer, she found such comfort and peace through reading God’s Word and listening to singing and messages from many church services online. Stephanie was an encourager and, even in her most difficult days, always found someone to reach out to help. She loved her friends and church family; she and the family have been deeply touched by the outpouring of love during her difficult illness. One of Stephanie’s favorite Psalms was Psalm 121. “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.” Survivors include her husband of 22 years Walter E. Yoho; her five children Iris Yoho, Alleigh Yoho, Stephen Yoho, Christian Yoho, and Daniel Yoho; her mother Iris Aschenbrand and her brother Ted Aschenbrand and his wife, Jenny. Pallbearers will be Walter Yoho, Stephen Cooke, Adam Tucker, Stephen Kulp, Keith Jay, and Colby Chamberlain. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Lakeside Baptist Church World Mission Fund, P.O. Box 1730, Clearwater, SC 29822. Posey Funeral Directors is overseeing the arrangements. (803) 278-1181.
