Stacy Deanne Scherder

Stacy Deanne Scherder, 53, passed away unexpectedly Saturday July 22, 2023, at St Elizabeth Medical center in Edgewood, KY as a result of complications she experienced from a major leg injury she sustained earlier this summer.
Stacy had a spirit like no other. She was a wonderful wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, therapist, advocate and teacher. She was loyal and loving. She was protective and kind. She had an empathetic heart and a great sense of humor. She was inquisitive, a history buff, a straight shooter and a friend to all. She was charismatic, creative and the best gift giver. She loved to laugh, she smiled a lot and she loved to make people happy.
She was always looking to grow personally and professionally. She worked as an advocate for the elderly in several nursing homes, achieved her masters of social work, worked as an adolescent therapist, became licensed in holistic healing, served as an adjunct professor at Northern Kentucky University and dreamed of starting her own practice to focus on the mental health of the elderly.
She was the soul mate and perfect match for her best friend and husband, Ryan. Their time together was spent traveling the world, playing video games, being with family and friends, hosting dinner parties, taking up new hobbies like scuba diving and enjoying the simple pleasures of life. They found the beauty in each other. Their marriage and friendship were a blessing for all to witness.
Stacy had a servant heart and was always looking to help those in need, especially those who were the most vulnerable. She opened her home and heart to anyone. She made the world better. She was one of a kind and will be loved forever.
Stacy was preceded in death by her parents William and Judy Penn. Survivors include her husband Ryan Scherder, daughter Rylie (Issac) Sanders, mother Maria Penn, sister Rebecca (Walter) Watson, brother Michael (Gleah) Lyons, brother Randall (Sheri) Lyons, mother in-law Margaret Scherder, sister in-law Meghan (Matt) Olson and many nieces and nephews. Also surviving a granddaughter Izabella Sanders.
