Remembering Stephanie Osowski

Stephanie Osowski, daughter of Dru Gerace and the late Joseph Osowski, Jr., sister of Jennifer Blake and Joey Osowski, mother of Kiera, Andrew and Gia, sadly passed away on Saturday, January 20, 2024 in Lenoir County, NC. Stephanie had been incarcerated since June 2023 and was found unresponsive in her cell. Please help us bring her back home so she can be laid to rest.

Stephanie was someone who had a good heart deep inside and loved her three children. Those of you who met her know she told you like it was. Stephanie did not hide her feelings and she was not afraid of anything. She loved reading about archaeology and James Patterson and true crime. She also loved "I Love Lucy" and Betty Boop.

I know that she really tried to make her life better but somehow just could not find the right track.

Stephanie was born and raised in Eddystone, Delaware County and loved our small community where we will always be "Stoners". Later in life she moved to Delaware where she had three children. Stephanie was a waitress while living in Delaware.

I am Stephanie's older sister and I have always been there for her and told her I always would be. I have a plot in Lawn Croft Cemetery that I purchased where Stephanie can be laid to rest. I just need to pay for the other expenses involved and to get her back home.

I want to see my sister have a place to finally call home. A place where I do not have to worry about her anymore and can know she is at peace. I know that she is now in heaven with our dad and grandparents who she absolutely adored more than anyone and every time I talked to her, she wanted to talk about them and reminisce. I named my little sister (after Stephanie from Grease 2) whom many of you probably won't know.

I was always there for her and I want to be there for her at this time. This is so hard for me to do, because I am not one to ask for help. Anything that you can donate, I promise that it will be used to bring Stephanie home to Delaware County where she belongs and can rest in peace. Thank you so much, honestly, from the bottom of my heart. Any extra proceeds will go for the care of her children.
