BRAZIL - Stephanie Jo Swaim, 45, of Brazil, died May 13, 2017, from injuries sustained in the tragic accident on I-70. She was born June 7, 1971, in Vigo County, the daughter of Steven Swaim Sr. and Rebecca Koch Adams. 
Following high school in Rockville, Stephanie continued her education with an associate degree in Criminal Justice from Ivy Tech. 
Stephanie worked for Normal Life, assisting residents in Brazil, and she truly enjoyed this position. She later worked for Integrity Title in Terre Haute, and was currently working at MCL as a server. She was the person who liked working in the public and enjoyed helping people. 
She was raised with a family of hunters and fisherman. She too was one that enjoyed being outdoors. She took pride in fishing, deer and turkey hunting. 
Over the past several months, she met Brian Lee and she began her walk of Christian Faith with Brian. They attended Free Life Community Church in Terre Haute and she told a friend that Wednesday was now her favorite day, because it was Bible Study evening with Brian. Stephanie has always been a dedicated Mom, Nana, sister and friend. She will be missed greatly.
