Alysa D. Stafford

Alysa Deanne "Aly" Stafford, 26, of Swanton, Ohio passed away October 28, 2025. She was born September 15, 1999 in Maumee, Ohio to Scott Stafford and Rachel (Crawford) Naves. Aly grew up in Whitehouse, Ohio and went to Anthony Wayne Schools and then onto Four County Career Center where she graduated from Wauseon High School with her high school diploma.
Aly enjoyed working as a bartender at Loma Linda's for many years and was currently proud to work as the bar manager at The Log Cabin Tavern in Liberty Center. She loved ALL people, serving & helping others and it was important to always be early so she could be ready for what came next whether it was work or a party. It came naturally for her to build genuine connections with all of her customers and work family. Alysa has been very blessed to have so many people who love her and call her a friend and family. Through her love of taking selfies and pictures with loved ones we can see the adventures she's had in her short but beautiful 26 years. Alysa's love was outspoken, bold and passionate! She gave all of herself to everyone that she loved. Aly also had an extreme love for all of Taylor Swift's music! She had just as many fans as her that she proudly called her (Best) friends, Cousin or family. We will forever be in our Aly Era.
Alysa's heart and soul was her family. She could not go long without talking about life to her mother Rachel, Nani Sue or Josh as well as keeping up with all the other family members she adored. Our Lysa charrished the bond we shared every single day. Her Fiance Joshua was the love of her life. Their 8 years together as Josh & Aly has been the best adventure of life and love! They share two little boys together, Cash Michael (age 4) and Wyatt James (age 1)whom their world absolutely revolves around. Alysa loved being a mother and wanted to be Josh's wife more than anything else. She now finally holds her (first) baby Everleigh Sue and rejoices in Heaven with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Prayers are appreciated for our family as we transition into a life unknown without our daughter, grand daughter, wife, mother, sister, niece, cousin and friend. Aly was loved by all that knew her. Rest in God's Peace Baby.
