Stacy Lynne Sword (61) of Benzonia passed away January 1, 2026, at home surrounded by love, with daughter and grandson by her side.
Stacy had a deep affection for Arizona and Frankenmuth, both of which held special places in her heart. She found peace and happiness in watching sunsets, often taking the time to appreciate their beauty. Stacy enjoyed savoring Mexican food, and Mountain Dew. She loved listening to Taylor Swift's music. These simple pleasures brought her comfort and joy throughout her life.
Above all, she valued spending time building Legos with her grandson, who was exceptionally important to her. Many fond memories were also made while going on adventures with her daughter.
She is survived by daughter Rachel (Lenny Merrill) Bender, grandson Derek Bender, former son in law Mike Bender, granddogs; Berlin and Benzie Bender.
She was preceded in death by parents Edward Hage and Joyce Kopsolias.
A service will be held at a later date. Arrangements by Jowett Family Funeral Home of Benzonia.
