Stacy A. Murray
November 21, 1975 — July 26, 2021
Stacy A. Murray, 45 (Nee: Hicks), a lifelong resident of South Amboy, entered into eternal rest on Monday, July 26, 2021.
The world lost a beloved wife, mother, and friend, and heaven received its angel back on July 26, 2021. Stacy battled many illnesses but never let that stop her from giving herself to others and worrying more for them than herself. If you were hungry, you were fed, needed shelter, you were housed, if you needed an ear, she listened, and her answers were true and to the point. Stacy was born in November of 1975 in South Amboy, the youngest child of Charles & Janice Hicks.
Upon high school graduation, Stacy attended Katharine Gibbs College, where she graduated with honors and immediately began working in New York City at age 19. Stacy has worked for the NY Stock Exchange, where she passed her Series 7 GSRE, in the Gaming & Leisure Industry, High-end construction, and Shutz Container Systems, where she was the global administrative assistant and manager.
Stacy met her husband Jacob while he was serving in the United States Marine Corps, and they married in March of 2004. After their first child, Mary's passing, they were blessed with their son Charles, and 11 months later, their son Aaron, where Stacy sacrificed her career to be with and raise their sons, teaching them life lessons and how to appreciate life and people. That education continued when they adopted their son Nicholas, where she raised three respectable young men.
Though you may never have met her, Stacy's stories and words touched many; to some, she was 'Facebook Stacy,' but she was a friend to all.
Stacy was a warrior, a poet, and a friend to many. Stacy could make you laugh till you cried and touch you with her giving heart and soul. To Stacy, there were no strangers, just new family.
Stacy is predeceased by her parents Charles and Janice; and her daughter Mary.
She is survived by her husband of 17 years, Jacob Murray, her loving sons Nicholas, Charles, Aaron, and her Australian in-laws Paul and Carolyn Murray (mom & dad).
Friends are invited to the Kurzawa Funeral Home on Friday, July 30, 2021, from 5 PM to 8 PM. A 10 AM mass will be offered on Saturday, July 31, 2021, at Sacred Heart Church, South Amboy, NJ. Burial will take place at Sacred Heart Cemetery, Parlin, NJ. Offerings can be made to St. Jude's Children Research Hospital, https://www.stjude.org/donate/donate-to-st-jude.html in memory of Stacy.
