Summary: Stephanie Lynn Ceynar, 41, stepped into eternal life with her lord and savior July 17, 2024, due to an unfortunate automobile accident. Celebration of Life services were held July 25, 2024, at Glory of the Lord Family Ministries in Watford City, ND, with Pastor Barb Becker officiating. Stephanie was laid to rest at the Riverview Cemetery in New Town, ND. Stephanie Lynn Sayler was born January 9, 1983, in Mobridge, SD, the daughter of Chester and Carol (Helfenstein) Sayler. She was raised in Herried, SD, on their family farm. Stephanie attended Herried High School until her graduation in 2001. Stephanie from a young age was a lover of wild adventures and animals of all kinds. She loved riding horse with her dad and caring for her own horse, Artax. She would also reminisce of combining with her dad and brother, all things “Mustang,” her pet deer “Bucky,” and being known as “Kamikaze Sayler” on her high school basketball team. Stephanie moved to Bismarck, ND, in 2002. While experiencing her new adventure, she met a man she felt was going to be a best friend for life, her soul mate, Brad Ceynar. Shortly after, Brad and Steph were inseparable. In 2004 they moved their life to Watford City, ND, to build upon their dreams. They were happily married on August 21, 2011. In 2012 they started the hot oil company, “Busy Bee’s,” and were known as outstanding citizens in the community. After some time they had reached a point in life and decided to step back from Busy Bee’s and step into some of the greatest years and memories of their life: many beautiful trips, “mustang runs” with Steph’s family, weekends spent at the lake with their adored grandchildren, Stephanie learning to proficiently play the guitar for her church and family, and even rescuing a baby squirrel who became a deeply loved pet, “Norman.” She also exceeded in bengal breeding; assisting with the birth of her beloved bengal, “Bugsy,” was one of her life’s greatest accomplishments. He will very much miss his “mama.” Stephanie was well loved and loved even greater. She was full of love and forgiveness, finding the beauty in everything. Her pastime favorites were watching the grass grow, viewing a beautiful sunset, enjoying a good storm, and spending quality time with her grandchildren. You would find her always with a beautiful smile on her face and a kind word to be said. She led many people to the Lord and was a God-fearing woman. She and Brad were baptized together on August 14, 2016, by Pastor Barb Becker, a woman Stephanie held very close to her heart. Stephanie’s contagious spirit and tender-hearted personality will be so deeply missed by those of us who knew her for exactly who she was: fun, loving, adventurous, kind, and unconditionally caring. We give thanks to the Lord and his promise that we will all be together again. Stephanie leaves behind her lifelong best friend and husband, Brad Ceynar; parents, Chester and Carol Sayler; brother, Josh (Debbie) Sayler; nephews, Trevor, Trey, Kaden; bonus children, Marie (Sam), Richard(Amanda), Kourtney(Michael), and Darielle; 12 equally loved and cherished grandchildren and one newborn great-grandson. They were some of the biggest blessings of joy in her life. Also many uncles, aunts, and cousins. Preceding her in death are her maternal and paternal grandparents; mother and father-in-law; paternal aunt; brother-in-law; and a grandson.
