Stephanie Laura Titus, 55, passed away August 22, 2024, at University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City, Kansas, after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born on September 2, 1968, in Parsons to Henry and Marilyn (Swafford) Nickel.

Stephanie married her soul mate, Stephen M. Titus May 13, 1995, in Newton.  They relocated to Great Bend in 1998, where she worked for USD 428 at Eisenhower Elementary and Great Bend Middle School, touching the hearts of students and staff as a Paraprofessional for 17 years. Stephanie was a kind-hearted, devoted friend that loved selflessly and unconditionally. She was extremely talented taking "one man's trash and making a treasure" by refinishing furniture, or anything she found at thrift stores or garage sales. She loved to sew and create, then take her treasures to crafts shows and rehome her amazing creations.

Survivors include her beloved husband of 29 years, Stephen M. Titus; sons, Tristan Titus (Riley Jones) of Manhattan, Kelby Titus of Manhattan; grandson, Weston James Titus of Manhattan; sisters, Kathy Becker (Brian) of Newton, Carrie Miller (Todd) of Topeka; parents, Henry and Marilyn (Swafford) Nickel, and many friends that she would do anything for.
