A great tribute to Staci. She was strong, fierce, and loving, all at the same time! Love to all her family, especially her devoted husband. Love you, Danny!
💔😪
Staci was one of a kind. The moment I met her- I felt connected to her. She always made me feel comfortable and reassured me when I was doubting my ability as a mother. Her love for her children was never ending and it was obvious she would move heaven and earth for them. My son (Keith Swickard) adored her and always felt a closeness to her. Your loss as a family is truly heartbreaking and will be felt by ALL who knew her. Cherish the memories forever and always. My deepest sympathy. Hugs to you all.
Staci was a wonderful person I grew up with her since we were both in kindergarten together. She will be greatly missed by many.
This is a beautiful memorial it is her to a T. She was such a loving, caring lady that will be missed. Her adventurous spirit with I can do attitude. Lord will she be missed. Sending love and prayers to the family
I did not know Staci personally but I sure do know her mom Bonnie. She raised a lady who was full of life and loved unconditionally just like her Mom. I hope that here children will have a life full of wonderful memories and lots of happiness. May Staci rest in peace and may her children never for get her.
She was a very kind and down to earth type of person and a Blessing to be around. prayers and condolences in the mighty name of jesus!

During this challenging time, I want you to know that Kristi and I are thinking about you and your family. We wish you as much peace and comfort as possible while you cope with this loss. We’re extremely saddened to hear of your loss, and please let us know if you need anything.
She was like a second mom to me growing up and she was like the neighborhood mom. She is a beautiful soul and will live on and all of our hearts.
She was a great person I would come over to there house and she was always so nice smile on her face and was always laughing…I would come to hang out with Blake and she was always there making sure we didnt need anything ….prayers to the family during these hard times .
I have some really great memories of Staci. She cracked up when she saw me put potato chips on my bologna sandwiches. She used to make me sing 99 Loft Balloons because somehow I knew the words in German lol. She would bring me smoothies “just because”. I wish I would have seen her more often because she truly could make anyone smile. Love you big.
I remember over 30 years ago when Danny and Staci moved here to the Genesee county area. We welcome them with open arms weekend cookouts and bonfires 4th of July parties. They were always there there are no words you can say to replace her. My condolences with all of their family
You will sure be missed
My prayers go out to the family. I grew up with Staci and we got to spend a lot of time with our first borns while we were growing up too. I am making her sausage today.
Danny,
I only met Staci a few times but she sounded like she was a amazing person, wife and mother. I know your heart must be broken in a million pieces right now. Prayers of strength during this tragic time.
Much love cuz
I have had about a week to sit and think about many memories good and bad. As I am writing this a lot of feelings come forward. I myself have had many up and down moments with my staci and in those good memories I had my first child in a situation that wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies and staci was there the day my daughter was born she gave my daughter her nickname and that nickname still stands with her today Breezey…but one thing a lot of people aren’t expressing is when she loved she loved hard even when people were in the wrong she still loved hard …she would definitely love you from a distance but one thing that she didn’t do was ever disregard a child or disregard a child’s feelings she always stuck up for kids she never forgot about anyone’s kids because she knew that feeling of being forgotten about and she was an only child she showed me many ways of speaking my opinion and standing on that opinion she took no no bologna. Staci had seven kids she had the tattoo on her leg to show how much she loved us and I am very blessed that 2 of my children will have memories with their me-ma.
