Windsor, Vermont – Stacey Jean Hussey, 68, died peacefully surrounded by family, Sunday, August 1, 2021, at Cedar Hill Healthcare Facility in Windsor, VT.

She was born June 27, 1953, in Lebanon, New Hampshire, the daughter of Lawrence and Marilyn (Straw) Fairbrother. She graduated from Pioneer Valley High School, Hadley, MA in 1971.  Shortly after, she moved to Vermont and took a job as a waitress at the Top Hat Restaurant, which at that time was one of the most popular eateries in the Upper Valley area. She married Robert Hussey in 1972 and they made their home on Mountain Road in Windsor where they spent the next five decades raising their two daughters and sharing each other's company.

Once her girls reached school age, she worked full time as an assembler at Lance Industries in Windsor and later at Hypertherm in Lebanon, NH until her retirement in 2017.

Stacey enjoyed watching birds, bingo, and crocheting but most of all, she enjoyed being the biggest fan at all her daughters' and grandchildren's school and sporting events. Stacey also liked to shop, mostly for birthday and Christmas gifts for her family. Nothing made her happier than doing things for her family.

She was predeceased by her father and stepmother, Betty Fairbrother; her mother and stepfather, Wilbur Williams; a brother, Delmore Fairbrother; and stepbrother, Wilbur Williams Jr.

Stacey is survived by her husband, Robert; two daughters, Angela Bly and her husband Steve, of Windsor, VT and Sarah Luhmann and her husband Clint, of Claremont, NH; four grandchildren, Karen, Nicholas, Hunter, and Ashlee; two great grandchildren; three brothers, Lonnie Fairbrother of Corinth, VT, Gary Fairbrother of Weathersfield, VT, and Kent Fairbrother of Weathersfield, VT; two stepsisters, Cindy Austin of Ascutney, VT and Patti Eglintine of Claremont, NH; stepbrother, Larry Williams of Ascutney, VT; many nieces and nephews, other relatives, and friends.

Calling hours will be held at the Knight Funeral Home in Windsor, VT Friday, August 6th, from 4-6PM. A private graveside service will be held later at the convenience of the family in the Post Mills Cemetery in Post Mills, Vermont.
