Stacy L. Farnese
October 9, 1969 – June 18, 2020
Stacy L. Farnese, 50, of Port Republic, Maryland passed away June 18, 2020 surrounded by her family at her home. Stacy was born on October 9, 1969 in Washington D.C. to Robert and Shirley Waddell. After graduating from High School, Stacy went on to get her Nursing Degree and went to work as a home health care nurse for many years. Stacy was a very charitable person who would crochet and make quilts for “Quilts of Valor”, an organization who donates quilts to Veterans. She was all heart and never wanted to be the center of attention.
Stacy is survived by her husband, Neil Farnese, children; Rachel and Timothy Hull, Christopher Farnese and Hana Farnese. She is also survived by a granddaughter, Natalie Hull and her parents Robert and Shirley Waddell. Stacy is preceded in death by her brother, Robert D. Waddell.
The family will receive friends on Wednesday June 24, 2020 at the Rausch Funeral Home, 4405 Broomes Island Road. Port Republic, Maryland. Interment is private. Memorial contributions may be made to Calvert Hospice.

Stacy loved her family more than anything. She was also one of the most observant and brilliant people I ever knew. She excelled in trivia matches, she was faithful in her creation of boxes for Operation Christmas Child and her absolute love of the State and County fairs is unmatched. I mostly miss her humor which stayed with her until her last days. When I redecorated my studio, I purchased 2 special swivel chairs (one for me and one for her). No one can replace her in my life, she was my partner in crime and a loyal friend. She hung with me in bad times and in good and I miss her so terribly.

Stacy you will be missed by many. If it wasnt for you teaching me some canning and convincing me to enter my items in the county fair inwould never have known what it was like to win a ribbon. I have you to thank for that. I will always look at those ribbions with fond memories of you. The world has lost a truly wonderful lady. Crochet a quilt for the lord. 💜

Stacy was an amazing neighbor and friend! Tim and I will always cherish the time we spent outside at the garden talking with her and Neil about everything under the sun. No matter the conversation, it always ended with a good laugh. You will be missed our dear friend!

Dear Stacy’s family members,
The Related Arts teachers at Calvert Elementary School would like to express our heartfelt sympathy for your loss. Rachel and Tim are foremost in our thoughts at this time as our colleagues. May God hold you in his arms during this very difficult time and give you peace in these days. Hold baby Natalie tight as she is a blessing from above. Remember John 14, Verses 2 & 3: “In my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where where I am, there you may be also.”
Peace be with you,
Dave Banyasz, Marilyn Beeson, Beatrice Callis, Angela Cirillo, Jason Harlow, and Susan Lusby

Dennis and I are so sorry to hear about Stacy. I was hoping she would win the battle. We never heard from you after your visit to our home. Take care and our deepest sympathy to you and your family. We have moved to Mississippi for Dennis’s retirement. Again I’m so sorry.

Stacy will be greatly missed. She was such a positive person and her smile was contagious! I was so impressed when she came to our Sew Day last February for Quilts of Valor even though she was weakened from her treatments. She made it a point to go around to every person sewing to talk with them. I would have hugged her one more time if I knew that was the last time I would have seen her. Prayers for comfort for her family at this difficult time. Hold tight to your precious memories!

I haven’t known Stacy very long. I met her when I joined Quilts of Valor and it was someone’s great idea to start me off with a very complicated quilt kit (with some pieces missing, of course). Stacy guided me through that project (which, by the way, seemed to take me forever). I was even able to see it presented to one of our veterans. Each time I sit down at my sewing machine I think of her kindness and help. I am so sorry that she is gone.

I am so very shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of my wonderful friend , Stacy . I first met Stacy , in the Flying Needles , knit/crochet group at the library . We were fast friends and she was always so kind and encouraging me in my crochet efforts . I don’t think I ever saw her without a smile or smirk and she always was up for a good laugh !! I was always so amazed at anything and everything she crocheted or quilted !! She made it look so effortless!! I would check on her often through FB or text and let her know I was praying for her … she was always so humble and so kind and her husband and children were her WORLD !!! I thank God for Stacys life and I will always cherish her friendship !! I will now pray for you all, as you navigate the days , weeks and years ahead . Take care of one another, Lara
