Stacey Marie Dicus Ball Hammack, (50), was born on July 29, 1968 to William Dicus and Sheila O’Brien Dicus Johnson. Stacey passed away at home (Moscow Mills) on September 19, 2018 in the afternoon, after a lengthy and courageous 2 and a half-year battle against Stage 4 lung cancer with family at her side. Stacey is survived by her two children, Courtney Gardner and Jordan Ball. In addition she also cared very much for her two step-children, Nicole and Nicholas Ball. Her mother and stepfather, Sheila and Lenier Johnson. Her two brothers; William (Billy) and Sean Dicus (Shannon Endsley). Three step brothers; Lenier, Lamont & Lamar. Stacey was preceded in death by her father, William Dicus of St. Charles, MO.
Stacey moved from St. Charles, MO to Wright City, MO, graduating from Wright City R2 High School. Stacey attended St. Charles County Community College. Stacey worked various places as a hard and dedicated worker. Stacey has resided in Wright City and Warrenton formerly and moved to Iowa for several years before moving back to Missouri and residing in Moscow Mills, MO. Stacey's daughter Courtney (father, Bryan Gardner), attends St. Charles County Community College recently dedicating her time in caring for her mother along with her Gran, Mrs. Sheila Johnson. Her son, Jordan, (father, Casey Ball), is in his sophomore year at Monmouth College in Illinois being awarded a full baseball college scholarship playing for The Scots. Nicole is a teacher in Missouri and a 12-year active veteran. Nicholas is still the warm and caring boy he always was.
Her children, family, friends and acquaintances are too numerous to mention. Stacey was outgoing and charismatic. She never seen the bad in anyone and would offer kind words to all. On a more personal side note, Stacey was one of my few best friends. We worked hard and we played harder. We raised our children together. My son Brandon and Courtney were inseparable. We even exchanged children at our work time clock so we could afford to work. We balanced each other out. Stacey’s personality and laugh will always be in my heart. Stacey took great pride in taking photos and documenting all the moments of life. She lived life to the fullest and I still remember the red pickup and the green camaro days that brought her so much fun. In the last years of her life she was also a dedicated motorcycle passenger and loved how the wind blew her hair. Stacey always had waist length locks and the toll of cancer took that right from her. She battled with that obstacle daily although she was still beautiful. She wanted everyone to remember her as she was before the effect of her treatments. She graciously accepted her cancer diagnosis and had more chemotherapy and radiation treatments than I have ever seen anyone go through. Ultimately, in true Stacey style, she kept on giving by donating her body to medical science. Personally, she is going to be so missed, by myself and all that loved her! Stacey did not want a funeral and all were advised she wanted everyone to have a happy gathering at her Mother’s home on Saturday, October 6th, 2018. I am positive that she now rests in God’s kingdom and sits at his feet. It won’t be long she will get her wings because Stacey won’t rest long, she was ready to fly a long time ago! So, for now we must let her go, but our wild Angel on Earth is just around another corner and we will see her soon. Girl...we're going to ride again some day!
