Stacey Smith Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Labby Memorial Funeral Home - DeRidder on Jan. 17, 2026.
Stacey Lyn Bailey Smith, age 52, of Alexandria, Louisiana, passed away on January 15, 2026.

Stacey was born on September 13, 1973, in Alexandria, Louisiana, to James Bailey and Ruby Tuzzolo. She was a proud graduate of Hicks High School.

Above all else, Stacey was a daughter, sister, wife, mother, and devoted Mimi. She lived her life side by side with her husband, sharing 33 years of love, laughter, and partnership. Through him, she discovered a deep passion for fishing and hunting, enjoying the simple joy of being outdoors together.

Somewhere along the way, wife became Mama and Mama became Mimi. When the grandbabies came along, Stacey stood on business. When those little critters came along, everyone else became chopped liver. IYKYK.

Stacey worked faithfully for Wal-Mart for 16 years and later served in the cafeteria at Hicks High School, where she always had a smile waiting for the kids. She was known for her strong work ethic, kind heart, and willingness to help wherever she was needed.

She was a true Dolly Parton fanatic, never missing a chance to celebrate the music and spirit she loved so much.

Stacey never was one who liked attention but, was somehow always the life of the party.

Stacey also had an endless amount of love for her beloved Bubba, her kids: J-Bird, and Stormcat; her grandbabies: Pusscat, Kreek Kreek, Rooster, and Ro Ro-each one holding a special place in her heart.

Stacey is survived by her parents James and Joy Bailey and Charles and Ruby Tuzzolo; Brothers, Chad Bailey (Donna) and Jason Bailey and sisters, Crystal Williams (JD) and Candice Bailey; her loving husband of 33 years, Kendall Smith; her son, James Kenneth Smith; her daughter, Stormi Lynn Smith (Charlie); and her cherished grandchildren, Shelby, Kreek Whitley, Ruby, and Roland, who brought her immeasurable joy and father-in-law Kenneth Smith.

She was preceded in death by her precious granddaughter, Kyndal Rain Dowden, and her mother-in-law, Janet Marie Smith.

She is survived by a host of nephews, nieces, family, friends and special sister Regina Kay Smith.

A service celebrating Stacey's life will be held on Monday, January 19, 2026, at 12:00 noon at Labby Funeral Home. Burial will follow at LaCamp Pentecostal Church Cemetery.

Visitation will be held on Sunday, January 18th from 4:00 pm until 8:00 pm at the funeral home.

Stacey's legacy is one of love, loyalty, and devotion to family. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew and loved her.
