On Sunday, August 28, 2022, Stacey Lynn Metz, 48, was set free from her pain and became our guardian angel. Her beautiful and compassionate soul was that of a fighter, but she was just as selfless as she was brave. She championed for animals with her whole heart, had a serious case of wanderlust, and loved nothing more than spending time with her family and those she cared for most. Although she is no longer here with us on Earth, she is surrounded by family, friends, and love. Stacey is preceded in death by her grandparents and her sister, Jody Metz. She is survived by her best friends, her loving husband Cory Marsh and daughter Helaina (Robert) Johnson; parents, Michael (Heidi) Metz and Karen (Robert) Bell; brother, Kevin (Stacy) Metz; and nephew and niece, Ihaja and Anastasia Metz. Also surviving are many aunts, uncles, and cousins who will miss her greatly. Memorial contributions can be made in memory of Stacey to Refurbished Pets of Southern Michigan in lieu of flowers. A private gathering will take place at a later date.
