Stephanie Jolene Husen was born on Friday, April 19, 1974, in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Greg and Joyce (Gleason) Husen. She passed from this life on Wednesday, June 1, 2022, in Tulsa, Oklahoma at the age of 48.

Stephanie was the second of three children born to Greg and Joyce Husen. She graduated from Ponca City High School in 1992. From there she received her degree in Physical Therapy from the University of Oklahoma. She was involved in multiple activities at the University of Oklahoma including the Chi Omega sorority. After an automobile accident, she made the decision to attend medical school to further her passion for medicine. Stephanie received her D.O. degree from Oklahoma State University, College of Medicine in 2004.

After medical school, she completed a residency in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics at Greenville Memorial Hospital in South Carolina. She went on to complete a fellowship in Sports Medicine at Steadman Hawkins Clinic of the Carolinas. She provided medical care at Integris Medical Center, Jim Thorpe Rehabilitation Center, and Mercy Hospital in Oklahoma City before moving to Tulsa. She worked as a sports medicine physician at Saint Francis Warren Clinic for the past seven years. She had a passion for healing and took pride in the care she gave her patients. This passion for caring extended beyond her patients.

“Stephie” was an amazing, giving person as a daughter, sister, sister-in-law, aunt and friend. She was also a proud “mom” to her two rescue dogs Boomer and Sooner, whom she often said “rescued her”. Stephanie was adored by her family and especially her niece and four nephews. She never missed a family or friend’s birthday and attended as many niece and nephew events as possible. She faced adversity with courage, humor, and positivity. She had a gift and a smile for everyone on every occasion and was always there for advice and encouragement.

Stephanie was fortunate to find her soulmate in Rob Rodgers of Tulsa. She poured her heart and soul into his children, Bennett and Sydney, and truly loved them like they were hers.
