Stacey Lynn Miller Pimental 1959-2022

Stacey Lynn Miller Pimental died peacefully on August 31, 2022, after a valiant ten-year battle with Parkinson's. Stacey was surrounded by her loved ones, and was welcomed into Heaven by her mother-in-law, Norma Harrison, whom she loved dearly.

Stacey was born on October 10, 1959 to Alan and Norma Miller in Glen Ridge, New Jersey. She would become the eldest sister to two brothers, Christopher and Dana. Stacey was a happy and bright child, who loved school, her family, swinging on swings for hours at a local park, and digging up clams at the beach.

Stacey moved with her family to Sonoma County, CA when she was 13, where she started at Slater Middle School and graduated from Montgomery High School. It was during this time, that Stacey built many life long friendships that continued until her passing.

Stacey met her husband, Steven Pimental through bowling at Holiday Bowl. Steve asked her out for the first time at Continental Lanes and they had their first date at the beach. One week later, he proposed and they began their life together. Stacey and Steve married on March 14, 1981 and moved to the Bay Area where Stacey worked for Mervyns. They had their first daughter, Nicole, on their anniversary in 1984 and their second daughter, Britni, in May 1987. They returned to Santa Rosa to raise their children and build a home and life where they had been raised.

Stacey and Steve were original buyers in Coffey Park and raised their family there, where many other friendships were built over the years. Stacey began running a daycare out of the family home, as she wanted to be there for her daughters and she provided loving care to the children in her charge for 17 years, where some even became more like her own children. Once her children were grown, Stacey moved into her career as a Real Estate Appraiser, opening her own incredibly successful business which she later passed to her eldest daughter.

Stacey loved her friends and family, bowling, bunco, camping and traveling. She lived an incredibly full life in her 62 years, doing what made her happy with those who were fortunate enough to be loved by her. Stacey was a feisty, fierce protector, hardworking, friend, mother, wife, sister, daughter, aunt, mother in law, and grandmother. Stacey found no greater joy than in being a grandmother to Xander and Jaxon Davis. Family was everything to her, including the family she was born into, the family she created with Steve and the family she chose.

Stacey continued to live with her family in Coffey Park until they lost their home in the 2017 Tubbs Fire. Stacey and her family re-built their home, but in recent years moved together to a family compound in Sebastopol, where she lived her final years surrounded by those she loved most. Those who were lucky enough to know her and be loved by her will never forget her smile, laugh, kindness, compassion, grace and strength. Stacey was truly exceptional.
Stacey leaves her loving family, husband, Steven Pimental, daughters Britni Pimental and Nicole Davis (Stephen), grandsons, Xander and Jaxon Davis, mother Norma Miller, father Alan Miller, brothers Christopher Miller and Dana Miller (Hillary). She is also survived by many nieces, nephews, cousins, family who were chosen family and friends. 

Here at the Center we remember Stacey's bright smile and beautiful spirit. She attended services with her mother, Norma. Stacey read the Science of Mind magazine along with our text book The Science of Mind and she enjoyed many hours of prayer with her Practitioner Tamarya Hulme. 

A private celebration of life will be held at Hook and Ladder Winery. Stacey and her family would appreciate any donations be made to The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.
