Stacia was preceded in death by her late husband of 58 years Donald and infant son Donald Jr. sisters Evelyn Watt, Gladys Bear, Mildred McManus, Martha Szott, and Brother Edward Nehmer.
Stacia and her sisters Grace, Lucille, and Marion were affectionately known as the Golden Girls as they loved being together and going to Florida each winter.
Stacia loved to cook and entertain; she was always having friends over for dinner and lively conversation. She had the proverbial "green thumb" she was always working in her yard and gardens. She could work wonders with all her plants. She loved going to garage sales, St. Vinnies, shopping, and playing the nickel slots down in Watersmeet. She is greatly missed by her family and friends.
A celebration of Stacia's Life will be held at the Untied Methodist Church in Ontonagon on Saturday, November 10th with visitation at 10am, service at 11am with fellowship immediately following the service at Stacia's home at 105 3rd Street. The Cane Funeral Home is assisting the family.
