Stephanie Miller

Stephanie Ann Miller (née Martino)
February 3, 1985 – July 16, 2025

Stephanie Ann Miller (née Martino), beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, July 16th, 2025, in Cincinnati, Ohio, at the age of 40.

Born on February 3rd, 1985, in Cincinnati to James (Jim) Martino and Margaret (Peggy) Martino (née Ruebusch), Stephanie grew up in Bridgetown, and later was a resident of Westwood, Price Hill, and Cheviot. From an early age, she exuded creativity, humor, and resilience. As a child, she made her own imaginary fashion magazines, sketching out bios and outfits for made-up models. She was also Betty Boop’s most loyal fan – fierce, stylish, and always unmistakably herself.

Stephanie attended Oak Hills school district and graduated from the Diamond Oaks Cosmetology program. She then began a career in hair styling that was both a profession and a passion. Whether working at BoRics or from home, she had a gift for making people feel beautiful and seen. She never stopped listening, laughing, and loving – especially over a can of coke and a playlist of R&B, hip-hop, and rap.

Stephanie was deeply devoted to her family. She married Antoine Miller and together they raised two wonderful children: Mariyah and Braylen. Her world revolved around them, from cheering at their sports games to teaching them how to live. She was also a cherished sister to Jacob Martino, cherished sister-in-law to Jaymee Martino, Kaneisha Mathis, and Tiara Houston; and cherished daughter-in-law to Gwendolyn Miller.

Stephanie lived her faith quietly but meaningfully as a non-denominational Christian. Her strength, empathy, and humor left a lasting imprint on everyone who knew her. To her grandfather and the regulars at LaRosa’s, she was the quintessential Italian girl with curly black hair, always radiant and always the center of the room. That sparkle never left her.

She will be deeply missed and eternally remembered.

A public viewing will be held on Sunday, July 27th from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM at Thompson, Hall, and Jordan Funeral Home (11400 Winton Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45240), with a service to follow at the onsite chapel at 2:00 PM. Afterward, a repast and celebration of life will take place at Drury Inn & Suites Sharonville at 4:00pm.

Stephanie’s body will be cremated in accordance with her wishes.

Flowers are welcome, and the family also invites donations in Stephanie’s memory to the Accelerated Cure Project for Multiple Sclerosis, an organization committed to finding a cure for the disease she lived with.
