She was born into slavery, and lived in the household of senator Chester Ashley; her father had enthusiasm for both education and the Methodist faith.

[2][8] Stephens was a charter member of Little Rock's chapter of the National Association of Colored Women (NACW).

[9] Andrews married John Herbert Stephens, who was a cabinetmaker, a teacher, and a local official.
