LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Stephanie Lynn Nichols passed away peacefully at her home, on the morning of Sept. 3, 2016, after a six-year battle with cancer. Stephanie was 69 years old. She was born in Napa, Calif., on Nov. 11, 1946. She was the first born child of Dorothy Mae and Julius Franklin Baracco. Stephanie graduated from Napa High School and spent many years as a chef in the Napa Valley before relocating up north where she continued her passion for food and the culinary world. In her free time she enjoyed driving her Jeep to the coast, gathering driftwood and beautiful gems, bird watching, and working in her yard. She adored all her animals, and she was a lifelong fan of the 49ers. She was loved, admired, and cherished for her incredible strength and determination throughout her illness and medical battle. Stephanie was preceded in death by her father, Julius F. Baracco. She is survived by her mother, Dorothy (Armstrong) Grooms; her brother, Michael Baracco; her daughter, Christine (Nichols) Parks; her three grandchildren, Tayla Nichols, Hunter Robinson and Vincent Parks; and her great-granddaughter Nayelli Zavala. She will be greatly loved and missed. There will be no services, as her ashes and those of her beloved pets will be scattered by family. Stephanie’s family wishes to send a huge thank you to her in-home care aide, Diane, and Dr. Mark Turrill and his remarkable staff, for without you all, we never would have had these last six years.
