About Stef Ripple

Stef Ripple was created in memory of Stefanie Ashdown—a Severna Park native, wife, mother of three, daughter, sister, aunt and ovarian cancer warrior. Stef battled the disease for two and a half years with grace, strength, and a beautiful smile that lit up every room. Her energy and kindness were contagious, and the impact she had on others became known as the “Stef Ripple.” She put her children first but always found time to care for others. Stef often encouraged her kids with the words, “Do your best.” In her honor, Stef Ripple continues her ripple effect by spreading the principles that guided her life: 

Be Thankful. Be Helpful. Be Kind.
