Stacy has always felt a calling for patient care. Nursing became an obvious career choice after losing her son, Adam, to cancer in 1992 and her father in 2005. Stacy enrolled in nursing school that summer and graduated in 2010. She has benefited from some amazing mentors and role models in the past 8 years that have encouraged her on this path.  She has been able to use her management skills to provide leadership and instruction to her team and families in her care. Hospice and caring for the terminally ill is a passion and an honor for Stacy. 

In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her 3 daughters and 2 grandsons.
