The Ten Commandments are in this week's Torah reading - יִתְרוֹ.
Included in honoring one's mother and father is the Mitzvah to honor one's father's wife and one's mother's husband even if they are not one's parents.
It is appropriate to honor stepparents even after one's parents are no longer alive.
However, honoring one's parents take precedence over honoring stepparents.

חַיָב אָדָם לְכַבֵּד אֵשֶׁת אָבִיו, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאֵינָהּ אִמּוֹ, כָּל זְמַן שֶׁאָבִיו קַיָם. וְכֵן חַיָב לְכַבֵּד בַּעַל אִמוֹ, כָּל זְמַן שֶׁאִמּוֹ קַיֶמֶת
וְדָבָר הָגוּן הוּא לְכַבְּדָם גַּם לְאַחַר מִיתַת אָבִיו וְאִמּוֹ
