of Vilonia, AR
September 20, 1982 - October 10, 2025
Stephanie Rhea Farmer, 43, of Vilonia, Arkansas passed away on October 10, 2025 at UAMS Medical Center in Little Rock.
Born on September 20, 1982 in Springfield, Tennessee, Stephanie was the beloved daughter of Norma Gail Gunter and the late Jackie Gunter. She was a proud graduate of the University of Central Arkansas, where she earned her bachelor's degree in Family and Consumer Sciences.
Stephanie was known for her adventurous spirit, quick wit and deep love for those closest to her. In recent years, she dedicated her life to being a devoted mother and loving partner, roles she cherished above all. She found joy in the simple things; playing softball, hunting for rocks, riding motorcycles and especially indulging in her love for scary movies and haunted houses. Fall was her favorite season and Halloween was her favorite time of year. Her vibrant personality and love for the color purple were only matched by the warmth and loyalty she shared with her family and friends.
She is survived by her beloved son, Kaeden Alexander Farmer; her mother, Gail Gunter; her brother, Lincoln Matlow; her sister, Angelique Wilson; her life partner, Dewey Oxley and her bonus kids, Chad, Kyler and Noah, whom she loved as her own. Stephanie also leaves behind many extended family members and friends who will carry her memory in their hearts.
Stephanie was preceded in death by her husband, Joshua Clinton Farmer; her father, Jackie Gunter and her grandmother, Shirley Gunter.
Friends and loved ones are invited to continue celebrating Stephanie's life afterward at a Celebration of Life gathering hosted by Banshees MC at Bones MC, located at 334 Blakemore Rd, El Paso, AR 72045.
Stephanie's life was a beautiful blend of strength, laughter and compassion. Her spirit will live on in every autumn breeze, every shared laugh and every memory held dear.

Gail,
I was shocked to hear of Steph's passing! My heart breaks for you and your family! You were so kind to Kristi and I when Mom( aunt Margaret was in the hospital). I truly wish there were some words I could say that would make the hurt go way! Know that I am praying GOD wraps you in his arms and gives you the peace and comfort that passes all understanding. If I can help in any way or just listen if u need someone to talk to, I'm only a phone call away.
Love ya,
Kayla

I grew up in Vilonia with Stephanie and I was crushed to hear news of her passing. She was always a kind and caring soul who accepted people for who they were. She will be forever missed, never forgotten, and always remembered for the light she brought to the world. Rest peacefully in paradise my friend, until we meet again.
