Stacey Roy

Stacey L. Roy, 58, of Langdon, ND, passed away very unexpectedly on February 7, 2025, in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Stacey was born on March 9, 1966, in Devils Lake, ND, to Orris and Karen (Kern) Gjesdal. She grew up in the Nekoma and Langdon area and attended Langdon Area Schools. On September 24, 1988, Stacey married the love of her life, David Roy. They made their home in Langdon and began a family. Stacey was a devoted and loving mother to their three children and her husband, Dave. Stacey loved nothing more than being a mother, always there for her kids: Jace, Nic and Matthew. Whether it was making soup when her kids didn’t feel well, attending sporting activities, making her family’s favorite meals, fishing, doing the boys’ homework (you read that right), or just chillin’ with her family, Stacey loved her family life. In recent years, she was honored to be called Grandma, a title she wore proudly.

Stacey left us far too soon, and our hearts are shattered.

Surviving Stacey are her children: Jace (Lindsey) Roy, Nicholas (Kami Kay) Roy, and Matthew (Reanna) Roy – all of Langdon; grandchildren: Kynlee (5), Brooks (2), and Sonny (1.5); father Orris Gjesdal of Langdon; step-father Gary Haraseth; sisters: Tamera Gjesdal (Shawn O’Brien), Kerna Gjesdal (Brian Wirth), Sherri (Mark) Romfo; father-in-law William Roy; sister-in-law: Lori (Chalmer) Dettler, brothers-in-law Kevin (Lori) Roy and Billy Roy Jr.; and many nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her husband, David Roy; daughter Breah Roy; brother Lance Gjesdal; mother Karen Haraseth; stepmother Lorretta Gjesdal; and mother-in-law Kathy Roy. 

A memorial service will be held at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, March 2, 2025, at United Lutheran Church in Langdon, ND, with visitation starting at 1:30 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to the Cavalier County Cancer Crusaders.
