Stacey Lenell Canler, age 52, passed away in Bowling Green, Kentucky on November 6, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and light. Stacey's greatest joy in life was being a devoted mother to her beautiful daughter, Ashli, and "Gigi" to the light of her world, her precious granddaughter, Emme.
A lifelong resident of Warren County, Stacey built a respected career as a real estate paralegal, where her kindness, professionalism, and bright spirit touched the lives of many. Known for her loving heart and radiant smile, Stacey had a way of lighting up every room she entered and making everyone feel valued and cared for.
Stacey is survived by her loyal and devoted husband of 29 years, Guy Dwayne Canler; her daughter, Ashli Mariah McCarty, and son-in-law, Joseph Ford McCarty; and her granddaughter, Emerson James McCarty. She is also survived by her parents, Leon Hiram Crabtree and Jody Lenell Burgess Daniel; and her brothers, Steve Crabtree (Angela) and Wayne Wade (Hope).
Stacey's memory will live on in the hearts of those who were blessed to know and love her. Her warmth, laughter, and unconditional love will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
Visitation will be from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m on Monday, November 10, 2025 at the J.C. Kirby & Son Lovers Lane Chapel. A celebration of Stacey's life will begin at 1:00 p.m. at the funeral home. Burial will follow in the Bowling Green Gardens.
