REMEMBERING STACY HADLEY
The family of Stacy Hadley remembers her lovingly. She grew up an athlete from a young age, playing basketball and softball up until high school. Stacy had a contagious smile on her face that could never be forgotten. She was the first to lend a helping hand or give a hug of comfort. She cared deeply about others – which is why her family was not surprised when they learned she was a registered organ, eye and tissue donor.
After Stay’s life was cut short, she was able to save six lives through organ donation. Her family is comforted by the fact that those who received her gifts of life can enjoy their lives like Stacy did.

STACY'S STORY
Stacy Hadley grew up an athlete. A team mentality was instilled in her as she played softball and basketball in her teenage years. She worked for the good of the team both in athletics as well as her everyday life.
Stacy enjoyed spending time on the lake with her friends and family. Often, you would catch her skiing and wakeboarding behind a boat and soaking in the rays of the summer sun.
She willingly helped when her hand was needed on her father’s ranch. Feeding and moving animals as well as appreciating the great outdoors was a part of her routine. She enjoyed riding the horses, especially her own horse.
Stacy worked hard to save lives and care for others in her five years of service as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) for the Trauma Center in the Emergency Room. She especially loved working in the Children’s hospital, as kids consistently gravitated towards her.
Committed to the public service field, she was studying to become a police officer and later dreamed of becoming a detective.
She considered her mom her best friend, and was close with her family. She treated her nephew like one of her own children.
Stacy had an infectious laugh and contagious smile that made everyone around her feel like a friend. She was consistently caught with a smile on her face. She was the type of person that could be counted on to help with anything. She was always the first to lend a helping hand or give a hug of comfort. Stacy worked diligently to lift up her friends and make sure everyone in her life was happy.
In 2014, Stacy’s short life was taken too early by an automobile accident. With her team player mentality and her unwavering character, it was no surprise to her family and friends to learn she was an organ donor. Through donation, Stacy saved six lives.
