Family and friends gathered to honor Stacey and celebrate her life on Friday, October 6, 2017 at Solan Pruzin Funeral Home & Crematory Schererville, IN. A funeral service was held at 7:00 PM and the chapel was filled with laughter, tears, stories and memories as those who knew and loved her came together in reverence, reflection and prayer. May our dear Stacey rest in peace and may our family carry her memory in our hearts eternal.

Stacey was a good-natured woman with a generous heart. Her friends knew they could always count on her for love and support in their time of need. She had an artistic, creative spirit that proved as curious as it was impetuous. She enjoyed drawing, coloring, painting, scrapbooking, photography and was recently learning to knit. She loved all animals and hoped to one day become a Veterinarian. Above all, Stacey's heart belonged to her Sweet Baby Boy. Caleb was Stacey's whole world and just as Stacey was a mother of unconditional love, utter warmth and unceasing comfort, we know that Stacey will be with Caleb and our loving family all days of our lives.
