Obituary of Stacia Kay Smith
Dugan-Kramer Funeral Home & Crematory
Stacia Kay Smith (née Allen), aged 52, passed away on September 6, 2024, in Morrill, Nebraska. Born on April 6, 1972, in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, Stacia was the first of two children born to David and Marci Allen, She attended Mitchell High School, graduating in 1991.
Stacia's professional journey was varied and wide ranging, finally marked by her co-founding of AttiCreations two years ago, a dream turned into reality under the loving encouragement of her husband and chief product taster. Known affectionately as the Jam Lady, Stacia was a familiar and welcome sight in her Jam Van, traversing local and regional markets and festivals. Her products, Stacia Kay's Jelly, Jams & Preserves, quickly evolved into a broader offering of "Handmade from the Heart" products, endearing her to many who not only became loyal customers but also friends. Anyone who knew Stacia also knew that she was always busy doing something! Stacia was a Mary Kay Consultant, a Pampered Chef Consultant and an H & R Block Tax preparer in Torrington during the tax season. Stacia was instrumental in organizing the 2024 Morrill Community Yard Sale and the 2024 Goshen County Fair Vendor Market. And, Stacia's name was to appear on the ballot for a seat on the Village of Morrill's Board of Trustees in November.
Surviving Stacia are her husband, Floyd Smith III; her children, Tristina, Marissa, and Cole from a previous marriage; step-daughters, Mckenzi and Sydney; three cherished and adored granddaughters, Ava, Eliza, and Paisley who absolutely loved their Mimi; her father and step-mother, David and Priscilla Allen of Mitchell, NE; her mother, Marci (Mitchell) Polly and sister, Stephanie (Allen) Yost of Wichita, KS; and a step-sister, Tammy Bauer of Simi Valley, CA. Her extended family includes several aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews, and a large circle of friends and cohorts who will miss her deeply.
In keeping with Stacia's personal wishes, there will be no public services. A private inurnment will be conducted at a later date.

"Each one of us here today will at one time in our lives look upon a loved one who is in need and ask the same question: We are willing to help, Lord, but what, if anything, is needed? For it is true we can seldom help those closest to us. Either we don't know what part of ourselves to give or, more often than not, the part we have to give is not wanted. And so it is those we live with and should know who elude us. But we can still love them - we can love completely without complete understanding."
