Stephanie Bussman
Stephanie left us in Frankfurt on the night of Sunday, March 10th, 2025, after a long journey with her health, surrounded by the love and care of her family. She was 57.
Stephanie dedicated much of her life to Auroville, working with various groups and initiatives. She founded the Reach for the Stars scholarship programme, driven by her deep belief in the power of education, especially for young village women. She was always committed to helping others, uplifting those around her, and contributing to the community she cherished.
She had a deep love for the ocean and found joy in surfing. Above all, she was a wonderful mother, an amazing aunt, and a kind soul whose warmth touched many lives.
Trying to summarize her life in just a few lines would never do her justice. Everyone who knew her understands how much she meant to this world and how deeply she will be missed.
We are truly heartbroken by this loss. But if there is one thing Stephanie taught us, it is to keep finding reasons to smile – even in the hardest times.
Vincent, Lena, Anita, and Max
