Stacy Terese Veasey

On December 25, 2015, Stacy Terese Veasey passed peacefully, holding her husband's hand, while at Hospice Austin's Christopher House in Austin, Texas after a long struggle with Respiratory and Circulatory Diseases. Preceding her death, she had been surrounded by her husband, daughter, step-mother, aunt, sister, sister-in-laws and many friends. Stacy was 52 years old.

Stacy was born on April 12, 1963 in Washington, DC. She was the wife of John B Veasey and mother of Evelyn Nicole Veasey. Stacy graduated from Mt Ararat High School Topsham, ME in 1981 and received her Associates Degree from New Hampshire College in 1983. Stacy married her husband in August 1983. As a "Navy Wife", a title she bore proudly, she worked various jobs in the many towns where they lived, but her true calling was that of a loving wife and mother. She also volunteered much of her time to her daughter's schools, churches, girl scouts, and the Lions Club. Stacy loved singing, children, birds and animals. Stacy received the gift of life, a double lung transplant, in March 2005 and felt truly blessed to be the recipient of such a selfless offering. She was full of positive energy, had a beautiful smile, and always wanted to make sure that those around her were taken care of.

She was preceded in death by her father Charles Sumner Pettigrew Jr of Topsham, ME; mother Evelyn Claire Veno Pettigrew of Wakefield, MA; father-in-law Raymond Booth Veasey Jr and mother-in-law Lovella P Veasey both of Dalton, GA.

Stacy is survived by her husband John B Veasey of Spicewood, TX and daughter Evelyn Nicole Veasey of Spicewood, TX.

Stacy also leaves behind 9 nieces and nephews and 2 great-nieces, as well as many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
