Vanessa Steinhauer

Vanessa was a woman of rare intellectual depth and a heart of pure gold. She shared a unique, individual bond with each of her siblings—a closeness built on understanding, wit, and a protective love that knew no bounds.

In her soulmate, Roger, she found a love that was truly unconditional. He took care of her with a devotion that mirrored her own, proving that a love like theirs is eternal and can never be shaken by the world. Her whole world resided in her children—Renee, Tyrone, Taneesha, Tyrese, and Tyrell—and her beloved grandson.

Even in her final journey, Vanessa’s selfless nature shone through. By donating her lungs, heart, liver, and kidneys, she gave the gift of life to five others, ensuring her imprint on this world remains forever.

She is survived by her loving husband, Roger Jermott; her cherished children, Renee Crane, Tyrone, Taneesha, Tyrese, and Tyrell; grandson, Anton; her father, Henry Whitford; and her siblings, Roberta (Clay), Charlotte, Malcolm, Kayla, Cody, Tyler, and Corey. She will be missed by her numerous nieces, nephews, relatives, and many dear besties. Vanessa was predeceased by her mother, Rosalie; her brother, Byron; and her sisters, Tina, Charlene Favel, and Patricia.
