Steffanie A. Fahey

Steffanie Anne Fahey, (46), of Malden, MA, passed away unexpectedly, at her home, on Tuesday, December 5, 2023. Her family and friends are deeply saddened by their sudden loss. 

Born on December 27, 1976, Steffanie spent the better part of her childhood, living in Middleton, MA, where she forged life-long friendships and memories with many. She graduated from Masconomet Regional High School with the class of 1994. Throughout her life, Steffanie continued to touch the lives of anyone she was exposed to, with her funny, adventurous and kind hearted spirit. As an adult, Steffanie had success in many different fields of profession, but she eventually found her calling as a longtime caregiver to the elderly. Her compassion for others, and her entertaining personality, was a perfect recipe for many, looking for support and companionship, in their later years.

Steffanie found the “love of her life,” her fiance, Larry Burrows, of Malden, MA, 6 years ago. They lived together in Malden, and were a huge part of, and a positive influence on their community. After losing her beloved dog, Spike, a few years ago, Steffanie’s home quickly became a must stop destination, for all the other dogs in the neighborhood, offering endless treats, in exchange for dog kisses. The people that lived around her were her second family. Steffanie was always the first one to help, in any situation, and they all cherished and appreciated her. Steffanie was always a friend to anyone who needed it. 

Steffanie “loved” so many things. She loved to dance. She loved animals. She loved her car. She loved coffee. She loved her clients. She loved her neighbors. She loved her friends. She loved her extended family. She loved her family. She loved to visit with her favorite brother, her favorite sister-in-law, her favorite nephew and her favorite nieces. (the author might be a bit biased) She loved and adored her soulmate and fiance, who tried to give her the world. And she loved and admired her inspiration, her number one fan, and her greatest supporter, her Mom!

And we all, Loved Her Unconditionally! Because that’s what family does.

Leblanc, (Mom), of Cape Neddick, ME, Paul Fahey, (Favorite little Brother), and his wife, Christina Fahey, (Favorite Sister-in-law), and their three children, Ethan, Ella, and Emma, (Favorite Nephew and Nieces), of South Berwick, ME, Larry Burrows, (Fiance), of Malden, MA.
