Mercedes "Missy" Stapleton

In loving memory of a wonderful person. My husband and I just heard of Mercedes's passing. Even though Mercedes's was in our lives a short time her sweet and gentle spirit will remain within our hearts. My deepest condolences to both her parents and extended family. Kimberly Smith

I met Mercedes at Wilford Hall. I was her tech and she was my inspiration! I never met a person more outgoing, friendly, and inspiring. we found each other again on fb a few years ago and I even sent her masks at the beginning of the pandemic. I'm so sad we lost a beautiful angel. RIP dear sweet friend.

I am so sorry to read this When we last talked in November I knew you were sick and trying to get answers. I know that you are now restored with our heavenly Father and no longer in pain. Until we meet again my friend...

I am so sorry for your loss. Mercedes and I went to SAC and graduated together. Her laughter and beautiful spirit made the experience so much better. She always talked about her love for her family. My prayers are with you all. I am sorry that I am just finding out now. The world has lost an angel.

I met Missy when she was a student at St. As’. She was my nurses aide at the time, & I was her Charge nurse. She became more of a daughter and was very much loved by the staff at CMC, Manchester, NH. My deepest condolences are extended to her family, she often talked of you with great love. Please know that she will be in my prayers.

I did not know her, but judging from her obituary, she was quite a person who should be respected for her accomplishments. Condolences to her family.

Missy and I went to grade school together. She was always so kind and we had many laughs together. Later in life we reconnected through Facebook. I admired her dedication as a military nurse serving others. Such a dedicated and passionate person. Prayers for her family during this difficult time.

I got to know Missy back in high school when we were both cast in West Side Story and Guys and Dolls and Merion Mercy. Many years later we became Facebook friends and discovered we both served in the Air Force. Her passing is both a shock and tremendous loss, but her example of helping others through this unimaginable pandemic is an example to us all of what we can be. My deepest condolences to Missy's family, and I hope that her memory will remain a blessing to you all. Missy, as the Air...

I'm deeply saddened to learn of Missy's passing. She was full of light, warmth, and kindness--full of caring and insightful thoughts. I shall miss her. My deepest condolences to Missy's family and loved ones.
