Stacie Marie Johnson

From Richland, WA, US | Born in Kennewick, Washington
Stacie Marie Johnson
Stacie Marie Johnson passed away October 1, 2002, in Seattle, WA, after a year-long battle with cancer. Stacie was born February 2, 1971, in Kennewick, WA to Rose Smitch and Bill Johnson. Stacie graduated from Kamiakin High School and then received a Bachelors Degree in Sociology from Washington State University. She married Jeremy Johnson in 1999 and settled in Richland until her passing. Stacie worked as a financial specialist for Pacific Northwest National Laboratories.
Stacie is survived by her daughters, Emily; stepdaughter, Sammantha; husband, Jeremy; mother and stepfather, Rose and Russ Smitch; father and stepmother, Bill and Kathy Johnson; sister, Keri Johnson; and mother-in-law and father-in-law, Wanda and Blaine Johnson.
Stacie loved life and everyone in her life. All her many friends are very fortunate to have known the love and caring companionship of Stacie. She touched many lives and was well loved in return.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, October 5, 2002, at 2:00 p.m. in the Columbia Community Church located at 150 Gage Blvd., Richland, WA.
Although I have not seen Stacie in a couple of years, I worked with her at Battelle. Stacie always had a smile and was very enjoyable to talk with. I am very saddened by her passing and would like the family to know that my thoughts are with you.
Jeremy, Emily and Sammi
With deepest symathy we will ALL miss Stacie. In her ways she was an angel. Kind, gentle, understanding and very loving person. Emily and Sammi need to remember that she will be looking and watching over them from her cloud. That is how I will remember her. We all loved her and she will be missed by all who lives she touched.
Jeremy, I am so sorry about your loss. I spoke with Stacie that morning from KMC and she was doing “ok” and wanted me to let Peter Smith her boss at PNNL about her being at the hospital. She was “up” and was ready for the surgery. Then to get the next message that she had passed away. Words will never be enough to tell you how sorry I am. You, Emily, and Sammi were her life. You are a special person who now has a very special job of raising your girls. Jeremy, I am so sorry.
Jeremy,
Words cannot express how sorry I am to hear of Stacies passing. Stacie was a beautiful caring person and loved by all who knew her. I was fortunate enough to get to know Stacie while sharing the same small and I do mean small office at Battelle. I can tell you there was always a smile on her face when speaking of you or Sammi. She was a joy to be around and a wonderful friend to have. Although I had not spoken to Stacie since leaving Battelle and moving to Arizona I have never forgotten our friendship. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Jeremy, Kristi and Family
I do not know how to express how very saddened I am at hearing of Stacies passing. May god give your family the strenth to carry on. The one thing that stands out most when I think of Stacie is her smile and how she brightened a room when she entered. One could not help but feel good when around her. She was as close to a saint as anyone I have ever met. I will continue to pray for your family.
Jeremy, my thoughts and prayers go out to you, your daughters and family. I knew Stacie from our days at the Federal Bldg when we worked together. I only saw her occasionally once she started for PNNL, and I would like to have known her better as I know she was a wonderful loving wife, mother, friend and will be missed by all. Take comfort in knowing that she will always be with you.
I worked at PNNL with Stacie and was very sad to read about her passing in the newspaper. I had to let you know how I felt about her. I interfaced with Stacie on several occasions when she worked in Property Management, as I was a property rep for one of the depts at PNNL. Stacie was a WONDERFUL person. She always went above and beyond the call of duty to help me out and make sure all of my issues were taken care of, even when some of my requests/issues weren’t apart of her responsibilities. She always followed up with me and was a wealth of information. I could always count on Stacie; she knew her job well and was very dedicated. And on top of it all, she always had a smile and a pleasant attitude. I truly enjoyed working with her. She will certainly be missed by her co-workers.
Jeremy and Family,
My deepest sympathy for you loss. Stacie and I attended school together since the 6th grade, but have only seen each other a few times since graduation.
I remember Stacie being so quiet, but confident. She was always very sincere and a wonderful friend. I only wish we would have kept in touch.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May God bless you and give you strength .
Marci Webb
My heart felt sympathies go out to the the Johnson family. I enjoyed talking with Stacie while I worked at Battelle in the mid-1990s. I also enjoyed the time our bassett hounds played in the park together.
I wish you God’s healing touch in this time of your lives. Take care.
Jeanna Mabry
Jeremy, Sammi, Emily, and Family – Our prayers are with all of you through this difficult time in your lives. Stacie was such a wonderful person to know and have worked with. She brightened a room with her presence and personality. God truly blessed all of us with her life here on earth.
Jeremy, know that we are still praying for you and your family. May God bless you and your family by filling your hearts with the joy of His love, and the strength and courage to overcome this tragic loss.
Your friends in Christ.
What a beautiful picture of Stacie. She looks so vibrant and loving.
Jeremy, I am so sorry about your loss. Stacie was so brave and courageous through her battle. But in the end her poor heart just couldn’t take it any longer. I have read her emails she has sent to me over and over again. She always states “I just want to feel better”. She would tell me what the Dr.s were going to do next and she hoped that it would make her feel better.
I commend you on your support and love you obviously have for Stacie. You two always held strong with each other through life’s many trials that were thrown upon you. You are a wonderful father and Emily & Sammi are so fortunate they have a person of your character to raise them.
I will miss Stacie very much and will think of her often. I will also give Emily an extra big hug every morning at Nanna’s.
Take care and remember that Con and I are always here for you and your girls.
May God contine to bless you and give you strength and courage to continue fighting on behalf of your beautiful wife.
Stacie and I became friends working together @ our first job in high school. We were “Baskin Robbins Buddies”. For a brief time, we even became stepsisters!
Stacie always had a sparkle in her eyes, and truly was an angel.
We last spoke a few months ago-actually, it must have been more than a few. Stacie was thrilled to share the news with me that she was in remission. I was shocked to hear of her passing.
Staci had recently sent me some beautiful family photographs, and it is clear that she derived her greatest joy from all of you!
Rose & Keri, I am so very sorry. Now Stacie truly is an angel. Please give our love to the rest of the family. You are all in our prayers!!
Much Love,
Allison Ashley & Family
Rose and Bill and Keri:
When I saw Stacie’s memorial in the paper it broke my heart. I remember her as such a beautiful and special pre-teen girl. God has a plan for even this, but it is oh so hard! I am praying for you, and asking that the Lord would comfort you with His grace and mercy. Psalm 34:18, “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are of a crushed spirit.” Warmly, Sarah Eberhardt
Jeremy, Emily, Sammy, Mimi, Nano, Bill, Kathy, Rose, Russ, Kristi and Keri:
My heart goes out to all of you. I don’t have words to express to you how much I loved her. For 14 years I was blessed to be her friend.
The wonderful memories I have are personal and many. I hope to share them with each of you, individually, over time. In the meantime, please know that Joel and I will be there for you with a shoulder to cry on.
What I remember the most about Stacie is how much she loved her family. Every time Sammie and Emily had their pictures taken she came down to show all of us in Accounts Payable. She always talked about Jeremy and the two girls. We will truly miss her beautiful smiling face around here.
Stacie was truly one of the sweetest people I’ve known. She always had a kind word for everyone. She’ll be missed by many. My heart goes out to Jeremy and the girls and to her extended family. Thank you for letting me share her ceremony on Saturday, it meant the world to me.
Rae Ellen Mandell
Stacie and I shared an office in her last job as a financial assistant. I miss her so much, and I only knew her for such a short time just less than a year, so I can only imagine your heartache. I had a surgery scheduled last Friday 9/27 and she called me that day to see how I was doing not to tell me how much pain she was in, but to see if I needed anything. That was just the way she was always putting others first. I feel blessed to have known her, even if for such a short time. Our business office is not the same without her here. Stacie and I talked often about God and why. We never had any answers but she assured me she was doing a lot of praying and asking God for a peace. We still dont know those answers, but I guarantee that Stacie does now!!
Jeremy and family my prayers are with you. I can only imagine the hole her leaving has left in your lives. I miss seeing the pictures of all of you all over her office she truly loved you with her whole heart.
With all my love Amy Gadd
Rose, Bill and Keri–
I can’t find the words. What a terrible thing for you all to deal with. I pray for comfort and strength for you all.
I remember Stacie as a bright, energetic, loving child. I’m sure she was a wonderful mother. My thoughts and prayers are with her husband and girls.
I have thought of you fondly many times over the years. I will continue to hold you in my prayers.
Annalee
Please know that our thoughts and sympathies are with you. We will keep a prayer for you both.
Barry and Joan McVey
I fought for words, but words seem so deply inadequate.
I yearned for strength, but strength is beyond my reach.
I begged for understanding, but understanding is not yet for me to accept.
I weep not only for the sorrow, my friend, I weep in good times too. You are in a place where our Lord our Savior is holding you.
My family and I will miss Stacie’s radiance and love in our daily lives. May we all gain strength through our memories of our dear friend.
Rose and Keri- I am absolutely shocked and saddened by Stacy’s passing. She was one of my all time favorite students as she was so very kind and sensitive- she is impossible to forget. I am so so sorry and know you are devastated- I cannot attend the funeral as I am out of town this weekend. Please know that you and Stacy and your family are in my prayers. I am so sorry. Love, Sally Storm
Jeremy and family – my deepest sympathies and prayers are with you. You’re Angel on earth is now in Heaven. What a joy Stacie was to be around, and although I had not been close to her for the past 4 years, I will never forget her smiling face and wonderful heart. God Bless you and your families.
We were friends of Bill & Rose, we watched Staci grow up with our daughter Krysti, we lost touch for quite a few years, and in the past several years have been corresponding with Bill. We are so very sorry for your loss.
To Stacie’s family, I am so very sorry for your loss.
Stacie’s cubicle was next to mine when she worked in
Property. I will miss her sweet voice. She was a very caring
and loving person. She loved her family so. She was always
so happy to share her pictures of her girls. She was truly a
great mother and person. God welcomed her with open arms in Heaven on
the day of her passing. She is at peace now.
I will keep you in my prayers.

Stacie was a beloved childhood friend and companion, devoted, honest, determined, compassionate, fun-loving & bright. She touched my young life in immeasurable ways. I thank God for her! I will never forget her and will continue to remember her dear family in my prayers!
With love, Anne Stanton Pott
Jeremy and family,
My heart grieves for you and the girls. No words can express my sorrow for the loss you must be feeling. Keep the wonderful memories close to you, for they will carry you through this most difficult of times.
I knew Stacie mainly through work and she was always a pleasure to work with and always had a smile on her face and laughter in her voice. I will keep her family in my prayers but I know that Stacie is now a beautiful angel in heaven. God Bless You.
Jeremy and little ones – I am so sorry for the loss of Stacie. She was a beautiful person. I worked with her for awhile and she shared with me her love for you and the girls. She is not hurting any longer and I pray for all of you. Keep the faith and stay strong!
