Stephanie McGuire

Hi, I’m Stephanie! I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA, and moved to Nashville in 2018 with my husband, Andrew. Together we have three daughters, Adalyn, Emalyn, and Analyn. Our oldest, Adalyn, was diagnosed with DIPG in 2022 and passed away in 2024. She was a princess and flamingo loving bundle of joy who always had a smile on her face. While we are heartbroken that she is no longer here, we feel so blessed that God chose us to be her parents for the precious time we had with her. We find comfort in knowing she is whole and safe in the arms of Jesus, and we hold tightly to the hope that we will see her again one day.

Throughout Adalyn’s journey, Lori and the NoahBRAVE team surrounded our family with love and support, and continue to walk with us today. As Lori and I often say, we hate the way we met, but we are so grateful to know each other now.

Before Adalyn’s diagnosis, I worked as a CPA in litigation consulting, but since 2022 I’ve been staying home with my girls and learning how to be a homeschool mom. Now, stepping into the role of New Family Coordinator, I feel honored to come alongside other families facing DIPG/DMG, offering encouragement and connection from someone who has walked this road too.

In my free time, I love exploring new places with my family, reading a good book, trying to keep up with Lori at Pure Barre, sipping really good coffee, and pretending I know what I’m doing in the garden.
