Stacy Lestenkof Obituary

Stacy Nichole Lestenkof "Tay Tay" 30, Joined her Spirit family May 5th 2014 in Anchorage Alaska. Viewing will be held at Janssen's Evergreen Memorial Chapel, 737 E Street, on Thursday, May 15, 2014 at 12:00 p.m.; service at 1:00 p.m., officiant will be Father John Zabinko, followed by burial at 2 p.m. at Anchorage Memorial Park Cemetery. Pallbearers Zachary Lestenkof, Dustin Dollarhide, Josh Valdez, Jesse Walden, John Walden, Josh Taniguchi, Keith Johnson.

Blessed are the weird people: poets, misfits, writers, mystics, painters, and troubadours. For they teach us to see the world through different eyes. Our beloved Tay's blue green eyes were full of vivid youthful charm, compassion and stars. She was born to Julia Lestenkof, October 16, 1983 in Anchorage Alaska. Tay Tay was a free spirited vibrant soul who loved being surrounded by her family and friends. She will always be her mom's Peanut! Nothing surpassed the love she had for her mother. Tay brought smiles to everyone and gave the best hugs ever. She leaves behind a multitude of loving family and friends who will cherish eternally the luminous memory of her. She was a social butterfly who touched the lives of those around her. No one has traveled life's spectrum as fully and emphatically as Tay; or had magnetically attracted so many people of diversity. Tay expressed her passion for life through writing poetry, playing guitar, singing songs, and dancing. She also enjoyed attending music festivals, bonfires, camping, shooting pool, cooking for everyone and making cupcakes. Life is like a shooting star it don't matter who you are; if you only run for cover, it's just a waste of time! We are lost 'til we are found, this phoenix rises up from the ground and all these wars are over.

Our love for her is forever alive in our hearts.

Tay is survived by her mother, Julia Lestenkof ; sister, Ariel Lestenkof-Andrew, brother, Zachary Lestenkof-Andrew, niece, Tara T Tiffert, Ommie Laurie Rubino, and her partner, Shayanne Edson with endearing aunts, uncles and cousins.

She was preceded in death by her grandmother, "Kooka" Valentina and grandfather, "Papa" Theodore Lestenkof.

I love you Pumpkyn Syy! I miss you terribly. I know you are with Papa and Kooka now. I know you are at peace. I wish you didn't leave us so soon. I guess God called you home because it was your time. I'm so happy and grateful that I had you in my life. I will never forget all of the great times we had. I will always remember how amazing, fun-loving, and lovable you were. You made everyone around you feel loved. You made everyone happy. You were such an amazing person. I will never ever forget your hugs, your smile, your laugh, and the way you carried yourself. Please watch over us. Watch over mom especially. I love you sis. I will always love you.

Tay you were always a soft hearted soul. Soft spoken. You brought smiles to everyone, they couldn't help it because you always wore a smile. You were contagious in your love, because when someone met you, they just loved you so much in return. It was an honor to have met you and to have known you. You were loved by so many, yet you didn't know. God brought you home Tay because your work here on Earth was done. Thankyou for all that you did Tay for everyone.

You're done visiting this land and those of us still of it!
I am going to believe that your spirit is home, back with with the 'Spirt of Many' it came from. As I look at photographs of you I see cousin Bobby, Chena and Yaya Top, my mom, Grandpa Sergie, and Grandpa Dimtri…and there's cousin Marie! I never saw this before...maybe I just never really looked for all of you together in you…and now you all are-Together! Hi all of you together again! I love you and hope to achieve the depth you did in living and loving. I think it's taking me a little longer. :D

Tay you are one of the most free spirits I ever met. You always befriended people no matter their background, color, shape, or appearance. You have shown all of us that knew you how to love unconditionally. It's been many years since we've spent any time together but I always considered you a good friend!! All that was "different" or unconventional about you made you so great! I only wish you know how truley loved, admired, and missed you are. You are beautiful outside and even more beautiful inside. May your family and friends find comfort in this truley tragic time. I LOVE you TAYTAY!!! Rest in sweet beautiful blissful peace my friend!!
