Why Stephanie missed her father’s funeral
Unlike her siblings Jeremy and Vanessa, who took to social media to eulogise their father, Stephanie chose to remain silent, opting to grieve privately.
On July 21, 2023, shortly after Bishop Allan Kiuna’s passing, Bishop Kathy Kiuna addressed the church congregation during a service, explaining why Stephanie was unable to attend her father's funeral.
Kathy expressed her deep gratitude for her children, acknowledging how much the family missed Stephanie during that difficult time.

Her absence from the funeral and her quiet social media presence led to speculation, but her mother’s explanation offered clarity and comfort to those concerned.
"We miss Stephanie so much. She really did try to come, but due to issues beyond our control, she was not able to make it," Kathy explained. She added that Stephanie and her family would be visiting soon, assuring the congregation that they remained a close-knit family despite the geographical distance.
For many, social media is a space for expression, but Stephanie’s decision to stay silent during this period appears to have been her personal way of grieving.
Now, with her recent post, it seems that Stephanie is ready to reconnect with her online community, sharing moments of joy and family love once again. Her followers have warmly welcomed her back.
