To know Stacey is to know love and lots of laughter. HER SMILE was everything, something you just could not forget. If you ever heard her distinct giggle or laugh you knew she was around. She was a jack of all trades. Cooking her secret recipes and writing poems was her passion. She was a fashionista and loved getting her hair done with those beautiful roller wraps, highlights and layers just to make her husband happy. Stacey and her husband were like Bonnie and Clyde they were two love birds. They were intertwined as one full of God's love and presence. You can always hear her say "Gerry get out my kitchen". She was a Meme who loved spending time with her beautiful grandkids and singing with them. She loved her niece dearly, and would sing to her when she babysit. One of her favorite songs to listen to and sing was Way Maker by Sinach.
