🕊️ In Loving Memory of Stephanie-Jayne Battenfeld 🕊️
BALDIVIS, Western Australia — The Mandurah community is mourning the heartbreaking and sudden loss of Stephanie-Jayne Battenfeld, a devoted mother and loyal friend whose life was tragically cut short in a crash on February 2.
Stephanie-Jayne was a passenger in a Ford Falcon traveling along the Kwinana Freeway at approximately 11:20 p.m. when the vehicle left the roadway and struck a tree. The impact was devastating. Despite emergency response efforts, Stephanie-Jayne died at the scene. The 40-year-old driver was transported to Royal Perth Hospital for treatment of his injuries and survived. The freeway remained closed for more than 10 hours as authorities investigated the horrific crash.
Behind the flashing lights and road closures is a family left shattered — especially the children who were the center of Stephanie-Jayne’s universe.
