Stacey Ann Costello, a beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend to many, passed away peacefully on September 26, 2024, in Hollywood, FL.

Stacey was born on February 9th, 1957, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Stacey’s warm presence and caring nature left an undeniable mark on all who knew her. Stacey was dedicated to her family; she was their beacon of strength. Her ability to provide comfort and love made her an exceptional caregiver, a role she embraced wholeheartedly. Her interests were as vibrant as her personality. Stacey’s love for her family and friends was unparalleled, and she often expressed this through the time she spent with them, the care she provided, and the joy she found in life’s simple pleasures, such as going out shopping or simply having dinner with family. She loved the “Happiest Place on Earth”, her favorite place, Disney World. Stacey and her family have shared many memories that will now be forever cherished. Stacey also deeply loved animals, especially her fur babies; she once raised wolf-hybrids but later found her new love for the smaller breeds (chihuahuas and yorkies). 

Stacey’s passing leaves a void in the hearts of those who knew her, but her spirit will continue to inspire and guide us. Her laughter, love of life, and ability to make everyone feel cherished will be sorely missed but never forgotten.

Stacey is survived by her loving husband, Ron of 42 years of marriage, and her cherished daughter, Victoria, her best friend and guiding light.  She leaves behind her loving sister, Sally Adair, and her husband, Tom Adair of Tallahassee; her brother-in-law, Jim Silvernale; and his wife, Marilyn of Hollywood as well as her niece Abigail Adair-Dimmick, her husband Todd, her nephew, Frank Adair, and her grandnieces and nephews Maddison, Lucy, Beau, and Kyra, who will miss her deeply and cherish every moment they spent in her nurturing embrace. And we can’t forget about her fur babies, Tinkerbell, Minnie, Elsa, and “grand fur baby” Lilo.

Stacey was preceded in death by her father and mother, Carl and Maxine Ritter; her son, Nicholas Costello; Aunt and Uncle Ted and Gail Fondo; and Cousin David. 

As we say goodbye to Stacey Ann Costello, we celebrate the life of a woman who was a beacon of kindness and love. Her legacy is one of unwavering devotion to her family, a testament to her beautiful life and the countless lives she touched. Stacey’s memory will be treasured forever as we hold her close in our hearts and remember the light she brought into this world.
