I didn't really know Staci while we were in school but since joining the reunion committee in 2010, I have had many occasions to talk to Staci and she was as pleasant of a person as you could possibly meet.
At our 45th reunion you could always tell where Staci was in the room. It was where the crowd of people would be. Everyone that knew Staci wanted to chat with her. I can recall two of our classmates asked me if I knew where Staci was as they were told that she was there. I just pointed at the crowd and the response was "That figures".
During our conversations she indicated that she was planning to come to our 50th reunion but her family changed all of that when they took her on a cruise that she couldn't pass up.
Staci shall be missed!

I went to McKinley and knew Staci through graduation.
She was a fun loving person and we had great times when we were together.
I'm happy she was able to visit Greece with her family. What an experience to cherish.
May she rest in eternal peace. She will be missed.
