Stephanie Daniels

Stephanie Daniels, a longtime resident of Plainfield, Connecticut, passed away on March 12, 2026, at the age of 64 after a courageous battle with dementia. Born on September 16, 1961, to Claude and Mildred (Albrecht) Tucker, she was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother whose warmth and kindness touched everyone around her.

She is survived by her husband of 37 years, Melvin Daniels, who was the love of her life. She leaves behind her loving daughters, Jennifer Saran and her husband Mark, and Sherri Holmes and her husband Andrew. Stephanie was a proud grandmother to five cherished grandchildren—Carlos, Tatyana, and Jesiah Zapata, and Jayden and Logan Holmes—who were the lights of her life. She is also survived by her sister, Lisa Forlino, and her brother, Richard Tucker. She was predeceased by her parents, Claude and Mildred Tucker, and her brother-in-law, Piero Forlino.

Throughout her life, Stephanie found joy in serving others through her work at Cumberland Farms, Friendly’s, and KB Toys, and she volunteered on the ambulance for the American Legion in the Moosup and Plainfield area. She delighted in simple pleasures—spending time with her family, basking in the sunshine, swimming in her pool, crafting, baking, and sewing. She also loved traveling the back roads of Maine in search of unique country treasures.

Stephanie’s greatest fulfillment came from being a loving wife, devoted mother, and proud grandmother. Her kindness, warmth, and deep love for her family defined her life. Though her family grieves her loss, they find comfort knowing she is now at peace with her Savior. Her legacy of love, faith, and devotion continues through those she leaves behind.
