Stacey Lee Scott, a devoted mother, proud Navy veteran, and beacon of resilience, passed away peacefully at 2:02 a.m. on January 1, 2026. Her transition on New Year’s Day marked the close of a life defined by courage, compassion, and unwavering strength in the face of extraordinary challenges.
Stacey’s final years were marked by a fierce and inspiring battle against a series of severe health conditions, including pneumonia and six distinct forms of cancer. Despite the relentless toll on her body, she met each diagnosis with grace, grit, and a quiet determination that left a lasting impression on everyone around her. Her ability to smile through pain, to offer comfort even while enduring her own, was a testament to the depth of her character.
Born with a heart for service, Stacey answered the call to serve her country in the United States Navy. Her time in uniform shaped her into a leader, a protector, and a woman of discipline and integrity. She carried those values with her long after her military service, applying them to every aspect of her life, from raising her children to supporting fellow veterans and uplifting her community.
To her family, Stacey was the center of gravity, a source of unconditional love, wisdom, and strength. As a mother, she was nurturing and fiercely devoted, always placing the needs of her children above her own. Her home was a place of warmth, laughter, and resilience, where life’s hardships were met with faith and fortitude.
Friends and neighbors remember Stacey as someone who never hesitated to lend a hand or offer a kind word. Whether volunteering at local events, mentoring young women, or simply being a steady presence in someone’s life, she made others feel seen and valued. Her kindness was not performative, it was instinctive, woven into the fabric of who she was.
A Celebration of Life will be held on February 7, 2026, at Clovis Hills Community Church, where loved ones will gather to honor Stacey’s remarkable journey. It will be a time to reflect on the legacy she leaves behind — one of service, love, and unshakable spirit.
Stacey Lee Scott’s life was a masterclass in perseverance and grace. Though her physical presence is no longer with us, her legacy lives on in the lives she touched, the values she upheld, and the love she gave so freely. Her story will continue to inspire all who knew her and many who will come to know her through the memories shared.
