Stacey J. Gunnell
February 20, 1964 - May 12, 2016
In Loving Memory
I was impressed by Stacey's amazing ability to peacefully handle her challenges these last few months. My visits always left me uplifted and gave me a renewed feeling that, although life throws some curved balls, life can still be lived gracefully and full of purpose. Richard, you set a great example as I watched you lovingly and tenderly care for Stacey. If life presents me with a similar scenario I hope that I can handle it as well as you have done. It may be hard to think that God has your best interests in mind at this time, but I'm sure that He is keeping her safe until you are done with your assigned tasks down here. Then you two will have all the time you want to hold hands and tour far-off places. In the mean time, hold tight to your children and grandchildren and keep creating new memories with them.

My heart and love has always been full when ever Joe, Stacry and Brady were around. The talent that was displayed and unending paintings, hair styles and soft friendships have been so beautiful and always heartfelt as we have grown older and life is busy. I learned so much from her and how she accepted people. My love for Brady is eternal and I pray we may find time to embrace you for your loss and how close you were! Please don't forget Joe and his family. We have always loved you so much ❤️ A light and beautiful woman set free to assist others. She was a strong example of creating what you want. You just go make it happen! Fly free dear Stacey ❤️❤️❤️ You always remain in our hearts and Sharon, Brady, thank you for your acceptance ❤️ We have felt your sweet love to us!

Richard, our thoughts are with you at this incredibly difficult time. When you and Stacey moved to the hood several years back, we found great friends and neighbors. Stacey's warmth was immediately apparent. We have so appreciated her generosity of time, interest, and inclusion. We have admired her strength and positivity through the last difficult times. We miss her today, and we'll remember her so warmly always! Our wish of peace for you and Brady is heartfelt, and we're here for anything you need.

We are thinking of you and your family as you celebrate your sweet Stacey's remarkable life and the memories you share. We will cherish our memories of her from great food, pool days, jogging and trying to go rollerblading, sitting her kitties while she was traveling the world, salon days, playing with Brady as little kids, shopping shopping and more shopping and lots of laughs and love. We love the wonderful person Stacey, now and forever.

I am stunned to hear of Stacey's passing. I was just lamenting this weekend that I never found another hairstylist like her - and perhaps I was just spoiled, but she certainly set the the bar high and influenced my expectation at a young age. She definitely guided an awkward junior high girl through expressing herself with funky hair and wasn't afraid to help me. What a great lady! My love and thoughts are with you Gunnell family!!

I went to high school with Stacey at Woods Cross and remember her gentle smile, quick wit and kindness to all. I was very sad to read of her passing especially at such a young age. She is in my thoughts and prayers. Jonell Murray (Class of 82')

Our hearts are broken, we loved Stacey, she taught me a lot about love. We had so much fun when their little family would visit. She trusted me to take care of Brady as a baby and a college student. I will never forget any part of her. I still wear her favorite lotion and toe nail polish from many years ago. We will truly miss her smile. And all her different hair styles. I'm thankful she was apart of our family and gave us her priceless gift. Brady. I love you forever!
