I really wish I'd met her. She seemed fun, and a sweet heart, in spite of her struggles and unique personality (which I only witnessed in the Cops episode, admittedly).

But, I need to know how she died?? at only 41?

She was the best!!!! So sad.

R3, according to the GoFundMe for her funeral expenses, she died of an "injury and illness."

The family of the late Stephanie Yellowhair is accepting contributions to offset funeral costs. Stephanie was born and raised in Window Rock, Az and the youngest child to Skeet and Shirley Yellowhair.

She was well known for her outgoing and loving personality and lived life to its absolute fullest. She coined the phrase “Excuse my Beauty” and was not afraid to go against the grain. Her unique style and sense of entertainment will be missed by many.

For those in her inner circle, you know she was suffering from an injury and illness which eventually claimed her life. She passed on in her sleep 3/30/18 with family present. Funeral arrangements will be announced once they are finalized.

We thank you for your prayers and words of comfort and mostly for sharing personal experiences and stories that uplift our spirits.

She will truly be missed.

So sad. I wonder what "injury and illness" is - that's a weird combo.

Farewell to a goddess and legend.

Is she related to the Yellowskin Troll?

by Anonymousreply 10April 28, 2018 11:40 AM

Since she was a lady of the streets, I am sad to say that I imagine some John fucked her up.

Very sad. She seemed like a lot of fun.

OP, what’s with the fucked up main pic? Disrespectful cunt.

by Anonymousreply 12April 28, 2018 12:05 PM

R12 .

OP included a link to the listing to the obituaries for that day from the paper.

When anyone adds a link with photos, the image that will display here on DL is the first image included.

Click on the link, and you can see, obviously, that the newspaper published that crusty old lady's obit and photo first in its list of obits for that day.

I'll wait while you apologize to OP and admit your stunning stupidity.

That makes me sad.

She has a different look in R7's link than in the video. It makes me wonder how many times she was arrested.

That would have been one hell of a crossover episode: COPS/Intervention.

R13 Oddly enough, the Navajo lady in the photo seems to be of the same clan as Stephanie.

Yes, I read all the obits on that page. I was fascinated by the Indian naming tradition.

Injury and illness...the mind boggles. Did she get wounded somehow and it got infected? RIP, Miss Thang.

by Anonymousreply 20April 28, 2018 12:41 PM

Damn shame she was maginalized, so her creative talents were never fully developed. We were probably looking at what could have been one of the best Navajo writers of the century.

Here's another one of her gems from her Facebook page. RIP.

In looking at all those mugshots, most obviously after that COPS episode, it makes me wonder if anyone tried to help her, or did they just pretend to be famous-adjacent.

Willy Cartier should star in the biopic.
