Stacy was born on August 5, 1974 to Richard Murray and Susan Bernard in Gregory, South Dakota. She received her education at Pioneer School in Chadron, 1976-1978. At CDC from April of 1978 to August of 1995.

Stacy lived in a foster home in Mitchell since April of 1978. She moved into the OMR children’s home in 1979. She entered Office of Human Development’s Child Development Center on April of 1978 and transferred in full-time adult services in 1995 where she remained until she passed.

Stacy was a very independent lady who loved to watch everybody around her. She had a radiant smile that would brighten every room and was accompanied with a happy squeal. Stacy enjoyed dressing up and looking pretty. When she was told how pretty she was she would tuck her head down and act shy. She loved pink and purple and enjoyed hair accessories. She had a purple blanket that she loved and made sure to have it at all times.

Stacy was affectionate and loved to hold your hand and give hugs. You had to be aware of her hugs as she would pull you in close and hold on tight and then after the hug you were given one of her infectious smiles.

Stacy enjoyed being active and was very particular about her things and what she was doing. Things had to be completed before moving on to next and they had to be put away exactly how she felt they needed to go. Stacy enjoyed puzzles, putting all the pool balls in the holes of the pool table. She enjoyed many outings, being around people, sitting the grass, and playing in a sprinkler in her wheelchair.

Survivors include her mother Susan Bernard; grandparent Joyce Bernard; sisters Collette Murray, Elizabeth Lucas and Jessica Yearling; aunt Michelle Bernard and Paul; her father Rick Murray; aunts and uncles Randy and Cheryl Hoffer, Jim and Rhonda Hoffer and Calvin and Terry Murray.

She was preceded in death by her grandparents Robert and Peggy Bernard, Richard and Cheryl Murray and Gary Dean Murray.

Stacy was loved by many staff and friends at OHD and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
