Lacy Kay Ripley

Lacy attended Louisville Elementary, Louisville Middle and Monarch High school. She achieved her GED. She briefly attended Front Range Community College.

As a child she enjoyed trips to Disneyland and was very excited once she achieved 48" in height. She was lucky to celebrate more than one birthday at the fine dining establishment Casa Bonita.

Lacy also enjoyed spending time in the water at the beaches of California and at the pool at the Highlander Inn where her dad worked. As an adult, she was able to travel to the San Francisco area.

Lacy shared a love of music with her father. She learned the fine art of baking from her mother Susan and great grandmother Noonie. Lacy enjoyed the companionship of many dogs throughout her life who gave her comfort during trying times.

Her son, Aiden fondly recalls her reading him books at bedtime. Her many readings of Where the Wild Things Are helped stave off many a nightmare.

Lacy was preceded in death by her parents Susan and Kevin. She also was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents Rosemary and Benjamin Lorenz and her paternal grandparents Betty Jean and Jim Ripley.

Lacy is survived by her husband Brandon Martinson. She is also survived by her son, Aiden Ripley and his father, Josh (Sabrina Trujillo) Knight. Lacy is survived by her sister Samantha Ripley and her brother Matt (Juli) Bassman.

Lacy leaves behind her grandmother, Julie Ripley, her aunts Brenda (Rick) Lorenz Peters and Lisa Ripley, and her uncles Cody Lorenz and Dean Ripley.

The family wishes to thank Amber Duncan and Liz Maes for their support of Lacy through the years.

Private services will be held at a future date.

May your soul be unburdened and at peace.
