We are heartbroken to share that our friend and colleague, Stacy, passed away unexpectedly on November 14. Stacy was known for her kindness, steady presence, and deep compassion—qualities that touched countless lives through her work, her creativity, and her commitment to community.

Born in Seattle, Stacy built a life grounded in learning, service, and the arts. She proudly earned multiple degrees, including her Ed.D. from Seattle University. A passionate arts advocate, she volunteered and worked with many cultural and nonprofit organizations across Washington, including the Washington Center for the Performing Arts, Olympia Film Society, ArtsWA, and Sound Legal Aid. She was also an accomplished photographer and a devoted friend, partner, and mother.

Stacy is survived by her son, Caine; her partner, Matt; her sister, Keri; her parents; her extended family; and many friends who loved her deeply.

A public memorial service will be held on
December 2, 4–8pm
Washington Center for the Performing Arts
512 Washington St SE, Olympia, WA

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Washington Center for the Performing Arts or Sound Legal Aid—organizations that reflect her love of the arts and service to others.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out with condolences. Your compassion and support mean so much to all of us who are grieving this profound loss.
