Stephanie Renee Sena passed at the young age of 35 early in the morning on Sunday, April 9, 2017. She passed peacefully in her bed surrounded by her family and many close friends.
Stephanie was born January 22, 1982 to Ryan Thomas and Brenda Lee Buhler in Caldwell, Idaho. She was raised and educated in Caldwell where she attended Caldwell and Vallivue schools. She made many friends and was a member of the Vallivue Highflight Dance Team until graduating in 2001. Stephanie worked at TCBY/Beuk’s Bagels throughout high school then went to work at RC Willey where she quickly worked her way up to Office Manager.
Stephanie married her high school sweetheart, Cisco Sena on June 4, 2004. They had two beautiful boys, Kai and Korbyn. She was a wonderful wife, mother and homemaker. Hosting family events was a major part of Stephanie’s life and her time as a manager proved very useful as she made sure that anyone there had a part in the events. She eventually left RC Willey to stay home with her boys, cherishing every single moment they shared. Stephanie loved spending time with her family & friends and always made sure that everyone was well taken care of.
In 2012 Stephanie began a valiant and courageous battle against breast cancer, a fight that she tried desperately to win.
Stephanie is survived by her husband, Cisco Sena and their sons, Kai (9, almost 10) and Korbyn (8); her parents, Ryan and Brenda Buhler; her brothers, Shaun Arbaugh, Brian (Marie) Arbaugh, and Dallis (Ciera) Buhler; sister, Brittanie Buhler; grandparents, Pete & Carol Ligas, Lyle & Dian Buhler, and William & Janice Arbaugh; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her grandpa, Dallis Clifford; grandma, Linda Arbaugh; mother-in-law, Judi Sena; aunt, Roxanne Norman; and cousins, Toddi and Tawny Jacobs.
