Our beloved Stacey Leann Hemperly, 30, of Idaho Falls, passed away October 4, 2015, due to complications of her life long struggle with cerebral palsy.
Stacey was born August 5, 1985, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Richard and Judy Hemperly. She had a twin sister, Anna, who loved her dearly. Stacey grew up and attended schools in Idaho Falls and graduated from Skyline High School.
Stacey lived in Idaho Falls her entire life. She loved going to meetings at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses and spending time with her family and friends. She loved long walks, music and food. She never allowed her physical limitations to hinder her love of life.
She was an excellent example of faith, integrity, and endurance for her family and friends. We will forever be grateful for the laughter and love that she so freely gave the world.
