Charles Stacey Obituary
1945 - 2024
MARBLEHEAD - Charles Gregory Stacey, age 78, of Marblehead, passed away suddenly on Monday, March 25, 2024.
Born in Salem and raised in Marblehead, Charlie was the son of Donald and Mary Stacey (Haritos). He was the beloved husband of Gail Stacey, with whom he shared 56 years of marriage before she passed away in January 2023. He was the devoted father of Melissa and Greg Stacey and the dear brother of Rita Havens (Stacey), Donald Stacey, Jr., and Thomas Stacey.
He is survived by his daughter Melissa Stacey of Marblehead, his son Greg Stacey of Portland, ME, his sister Rita Havens of Marblehead, his girlfriend Susan Stinnett, many nieces and nephews, and his beloved dog, Kaylee.
Charlie grew up in Marblehead and graduated from Marblehead High School with the class of 1963. He also graduated from Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston. Charlie was a veteran of the Army and served in Germany during the Vietnam War. He and Gail raised their family in multiple cities all over the United States while he advanced his successful executive career in the food industry before settling back in Marblehead in 2009.
Charlie loved life and he lived life to the fullest. He was an extraordinary husband, father, and friend. Traveling, watching Notre Dame football, playing golf, reading, playing cribbage with "the boys" and being with family and friends were just a few of his favorite things. He was an incredibly generous and positive person who took much joy in making others laugh. He would greet everyone with a smile and there was rarely a person he met that didn't love him. He will be missed greatly, by many.
