I am so sad that Stacy has passed. The world has lost such a bright light, but I know she loved our Savior and she is in his loving arms and out of pain.
Stacy was truly one of a kind. She genuinely cared about the foster youth she worked with. She was a great coworker, always kind and quick with a smile. I remember also being so impressed by how determined Stacy was. When she set a goal for herself, she stuck with it until she accomplished what she wanted to do. She was nothing short of amazing.
I am grateful for the opportunity to have known Stacy. I will cherish her memory until we meet again

I´m so very saddened to hear of Stacy´s passing. We knew each other since the 6th grade. She is one of the ones that first had a car in high school. She would take us girls to school & we would also go off campus to Andres for lunch. The last time I saw Stacy was at our 30th class reunion over 30 years ago. Please accept my condolences.

I had the opportunity to work with Stacy with foster youth. I managed the Independent Living Program for Bakersfield College, a program that offered life skills to foster youth getting ready to emancipate from the system. Stacy was a Kern County Department of Human Services Social Worker working with the foster youth. Stacy recruited the youth to the BC training. Stacy was a great resource and a tireless worker in the field working with the foster youth. Stacy was a great asset to the program and great to work with.
