Charleston, SC

My sincerest condolences to Stacey's family and friends. I find myself today still thinking about Stacey, in shock of her passing. I had the pleasure of working with Stacey in her recent role. She was so good about bringing a smile to your face and making you laugh. How many times she would crack a joke, or bring up something she knew would make me smile or laugh just because it was who she was. I am so thankful for the opportunity to have known her, if even only for a short nearly 2 years.  It is hard not having the chance to say good bye to her, but I hold on to our last conversations, and the dream I had recently where she came to visit. I will miss reminiscing and sharing stories of both of our vacations, and hearing about her family, or sharing common stories about her Blu and my Rosco.

Stacey, you were such an amazing and kind person. I will miss you, and will definitely remember you. 

All the best,
Adrienne

Stacey came into my life in Jan of 2013. What first attracted me to her was her laid back, comfortable attitude. Her motto was "Comfort is key". Over the years we grew together, it was 2015 in Charleston, SC where she first told me she loved me, a moment ill never forget, in a place ill never forget. Stacey's legacy is one of compassion, kindness, empathy and hard work. Early on, I remember her getting up at 4:30 am going to work at Cigna, getting off at 2:00 or so in the afternoon, THEN going into Black Angus and working until closing. She did this several times a week, while going to school! She enjoyed that job very much. Earlier in the year, we stopped at Frys grocery, I waited in the car while she ran in. When she came out, she had a Gatorade and a bag of food. She walked over to a homeless guy outside the store and gave it to him. She said "why should I eat when this guy is starving, and it's 110 outside" This is the kind of person Stacey was.

Stacey loved her family more than anything. Family ALWAYS came first. She often told me how proud she was of her sons, and that she wanted them to do better than her in life. Stacey also loved her "littles", very much. She was always telling me about things they did together, how much she "loved their faces" and how proud she was to be a grandma.
 We traveled a lot together Paris, France, Prague, Czech Republic, Germany, Hawaii. Her favorite was Charleston, she loved the laid back, friendly, southern lifestyle. 
The years I spent with Stacey were the best years of my life. We did more in that time than most people do in a lifetime, both of us went on to get our college degrees, we saw our kids have grandchildren, we went through the loss of loved ones.
Stacey was the love of my life. We promised each other that we would not grow old alone, and that we were in it for the long haul.
I will think about Stacey every day, and I will carry on her legacy of kindness and compassion towards others.
God bless you, my love.

Stacey took this picture in San Diego, Dec 2023. She needed a photo for her work profile.

Shotgun Stacey

One of our many trips to the shooting range. Stacey had never picked up a gun before, the second trip to the range (about 6-7 months after the first) she was doing better than me!

Rainbow Row, Charleston, SC

When Stacey first saw this place, she fell in love with it. We always visited this area of Charleston on each one of our trips. She loved how each house was painted a different color.

This will always be "our" place.

Poogans Porch was Stacey's favorite restaurant in Charleston. She raved about it for weeks after she first ate there. When we got home she followed them on Facebook. It was a must-eat place on our visits there.

Stacey loved Charleston so much, we visited there many times over the years. Im so glad she got to enjoy one of my favorite places

I just found out today of Stacey's passing. What a loss to the world this is.  I met Stacey in 2004 at Cigna, she sat across from me.  From our first hello I knew we would become friends and we did.  Even after I left Cigna in 2014 we stayed in touch by having monthly lunch meetings where we shared our lifes.  I will greatly miss a good friend and our monthly meetings.  May you always have your blue cheese crumbles Stacey, much love Cathy T.

Stacy my friend you are gonna be so missed ♥️😞 … You made an impact on many of us. I loved when we went out with these young wipper snappers 😂😂 We taught  them a few things. We all laughed till early morning every time. Rest in peace my beautiful friend ♥️🙏🏻

Stacey you will be missed by so many! We were co workers who became friends! You always made me laugh and I loved hearing stories bout your kids and grandkids! You loved to travel and your heart was so full! So many will miss you but we will always love you! ❤️ God Bless

Stacey was an incredible colleague and friend and her loss is felt deeply by all that knew her. I will never forget her laugh and sense of humor, she brought a smile to all she worked with. Please accept my heartfelt condolences for your family's loss.

To lose a best friend is one of the hardest things.   Stacey came into my life and left such a huge footprint in my heart.  Stacey made me smile brighter, laugh louder and made my life better.  

I will forever cherish all the memories that we have created.  There is a saying that diamonds are a girl's best friend.  Stacey was and will forever be my diamond.  

Words are inadequate for what I am feeling and wanting to express.   Someone as special as Stacey will never be forgotten, she will remain in my heart forever.

So sorry to hear this news.  Stacey was a great colleague.  You could tell she genuinely cared for the people she worked with and that she helped navigate their own health care journey.    Sending caring thoughts.

Stacey was my assigned mentor when I moved into my NA role. From the start she was so gracious and kind. Her support and assistance really helped me in those early weeks of learning the job. When I got to meet her in person last spring for a work onsite meeting she was just as wonderful to be around as I expected. We will miss her on our team. Sending prayers up to her family and all those who loved her.

I had the privilege of being Stacey’s manager when she joined Surest in 2022. From day one, she was such a wonderful addition to our team. Stacey's genuine care for her colleagues and clients was evident in everything she did. She was the ultimate team player, always ready to lend a helping hand and support those around her.

Over the past two years, Stacey had a profound impact on our team culture. She set an exemplary standard for everyone who joined after her, modeling the role with grace and dedication. Her positive attitude and unwavering commitment inspired us all and created a more cohesive and supportive environment.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Stacey will be greatly missed.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time. Stacey's memory will always be cherished, and she will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her.

Stacey was the ultimate colleague and friend - always there for you.  We are incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to have Stacey as a teammate and friend.  To Stacey's family, we are sending strength and sympathy.  Stacey was a bright light and will be deeply missed.

Please know how much all of Stacey’s colleagues at Surest are heartbroken and sending our love and prayers to her whole family.
