KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – Stacy Patricia Miller nee (Smith), 53, passed away on Sunday, July 7, 2019, in her home in Kelseyville, California. She joins her Mother Donna Mae Smith and her father Gerald Smith in eternal rest.

Stacy was born in Mountain View, Calif., on Dec. 4, 1965, where she grew up. She attended Lynbrook High School in San Jose, Calif., receiving her diploma in 1984. She held various jobs until she landed her dream job at animal hospitals as receptionist and animal whisperer.

Stacy married the love of her life Scott Miller in 1995. They lived in Fremont and San Martin. Then in 2001 they moved to Lake County, Calif., to build their dream home and wonderful lives with their fur-family of horses, kitties, and numerous doggies.

She was a kind and generous soul, always willing to help anyone in need. She loved living in the country, visiting with friends and family, floriculture design, crafting, and watching her favorite TV shows with a full Bubba-cup of Diet Pepsi. She liked shopping, shoes and purses. Amazon was her fav.

While living in Lake County, she landed her dream job working at two veterinary hospitals, whispering to every animal who crossed her path. She contributed frequently to many animal rescue groups and rescued a few herself. Her generosity spread to numerous clinic customers who could not afford medical treatment for their furbabies.

Stacy is survived by her husband of 25 years, Scott Alan Miller; her older brother, Kirt Smith of Sacramento; her Godmother, Alice Ackley Survis of Henderson, Nevada; her best friends and soul sisters, Barb Mogni aka “The Estabunny” and her husband Dave of Ferndale, California, Sandy Crandell and her husband Marc of Layton, Utah and Linda Turner and son Brian Turner of Henderson, Nevada; soul-bro, Al Ackely of Lake Las Vegas, Nevada, and numerous extended family and friends.

She will be forever remembered as a cheerful, loving and lovable person who was always ready with a smile, a laugh, a hug and encouraging words. Stacy, you are already greatly missed.
