As three of her best friends lay in hospital beds in Wichita, Stephanie Hoyt's parents buried their daughter. Over 300 people attended the funeral of the University of Kansas freshman, her father, Lanny Hamp, said.
"The number of people there showed how many people she touched," Hamp said.
Hoyt and her friends, went to Texas "to see a little of the U.S." This was a last chance for Hoyt and her best friends to do something together, Hamp said.
On the way back the girls took the wrong on-ramp, sending them south instead of north. Once they realized the mistake, Stephanie went to cross two lanes to turn around, when they were struck by another vehicle.
The collision killed Stephanie instantly. Her three companions sustained serious injuries and were taken by amulance to Wesley Medical Center in Wichita, where one is currently listed as fair and the other two have been released.
Hoyt was born in Olathe on Jan. 3, 1986. Her mother, Theresa, remarried when Hoyt was two, and Lanny and Theresa raised Hoyt in Kansas City, Kan.
Hamp described his daughter as the
"type of person that never needed the limelight, and someone willing to help other people."
Hamp said when Hoyt's mother decided to go back to school and get a degree in nursing. Hoyt took her mother's place in the home. She cooked, cleaned and tried to help her mother with the everyday things she could not do, Hamp said.
That work ethic also translated into her scholastic and professional lives, brought out her life, Hamp said.
She worked through high school and college at the Cracker Barrel and was paying her own way through college, Hamp said. She graduated from Sumner Academy with a 4.2 grade point average, and after a year at Drake University, Des Maines, Iowa, came to the University.
After declaring English as her major, Hoyt planned on attending law school, Hamp said.
Hoyt was one of five children and "she was the one who never gave me any trouble." Hamp said.
Hoyt is survived by her father, Lanny Hamp and her mother, Theresa Hamp. Other survivors are four brothers: Sgt. Lanny Hamp Jr., Fort Benning, Ga.; August Hamp, Camp Lejeune; Richard Allen Hoyt, of the home; and Kelly Hamp, of the home.

The Moon Bar is the same nightclub where former Kansas forward J.R. Giddens was involved in an altercation on May 19. The altercation resulted in Giddens getting stabbed in the right calf.
Local bar owner charged with illegal alcohol sales
Lawrence police officers closed down the Moon Bar, 821 Iowa St., after discovering Ron Ruiz, the owner, was selling alcohol without a liquor license last week.
Sgt. Dan Ward would not comment because the case had been handed over to the Alcohol Beverage Control of Topeka.The ABC could not be reached for comment.

"It has everything to do with J.R.," Ruiz said. "I feel that I am being profiled in a negative manner and KU alumni are influencing people to make sure that I have problems."
Ruiz said he thought his bar's recent problems were all directly related to the J.R. Giddens incident.
