Leave a tribute for Stacy Wilson.
Stacy was the perfect example of what it means to be Christ-like. She carried the Fruit of the Spirit with her friendships, her career, her loyalty and devotion to many, and her commitment to giving back. We adored her. She was always a delight, and her company was uplifting. Heaven has gained an angel, no doubt.
I worked with Stacey at Foothills Area Program/Burke Mental Health. She loved the population that she worked with and they loved her. A funny lady. May God comfort you.
Dearest Wilson family, I had the honor and privilege to lead the Joyful Hands Sign Choir at Gardner Webb. Stacy was one of the biggest blessings that ever came along to that choir. She brought laughter and love and a beautiful Deaf heart as she began learning about ASL and Deaf Culture & shared her faith in Jesus openly wherever we went. I think God for her, and I look forward to seeing her one day soon when we all get to share in that beautiful place our Lord is preparing for those of us who have embraced him, and his offer of salvation to those who trust in Him wholeheartedly. So this is not our goodbye, but our “See you later, sweet Stacy!“
So sorry to hear of your passing. Knowing and working with you was a pleasure. RIP STACY.
My heart goes out to the family, friends and co-workers. May our loving Lord wrap His loving arms around us as we navigate the grieving process. The sure and present hope of our Savior gives us the assurances of heaven as our home. Heaven has gained a saint. Stacy is commended for her work in providing access and direct services to those in need. Rest in peace!
My deepest condolences 🙏! You will be dearly missed.
So sorry for your loss
I met Stacy when she started work at the DSDHH Morganton Regional Center 11 years ago. Her giving heart was obvious immediately and her dedication to improving the lives of those she served truly remarkable. It was a privilege to know her. However, we rarely had the opportunity to talk much 1:1, and I will definitely miss having a chance to get to know her better. I hope all whose hearts she touched find comfort in good memories. –Cynthia H.
I met Stacy 25 years ago and we immediately hit it off. Stacy was a kind, generous, and to the point kind of gal. She gave me great advice many times. My favorite was when someone wasn't being very kind once and Stacy said "well Kimmy if they don't like you then it must be their problem" Sounds funny now but she had a spicy side that I loved. I sure will miss her and regret I didn't call, text or visit her more often. Prayers to her family, friends, and loved ones. Hold tight to your fun and spicy memories and that smile that always shown so bright. I know I will.
