Stacey Grindstaff Collins

Stacey Grindstaff Collins, 50, passed away on October 10, 2022.

Born in Pahokee, Florida, and raised in Belle Glade, Stacey was the daughter of Paul and Barbara Grindstaff. She graduated from Glades Day School in 1990 and went on to attend the University of Central Florida, where she was a proud majorette for four years. She earned her degree in criminology in 1994.

Over the years, Stacey lived in various parts of Florida and Georgia, eventually working in sales — a role that suited her kind demeanor and easy connection with people. She was known for her gentle nature, her giving heart, and her willingness to help others without hesitation.

Stacey is survived by her son, Lane Collins (fiancé Morgan), her brother Michael Grindstaff (Christa), her sister Vickie McMullen (Jim), three nieces, one nephew, and several great-nieces and nephews.

Though life brought challenges, Stacey’s memory is held in the kindness she showed, the joy she brought in quieter moments, and the love she gave freely. She will be missed and remembered with affection by those who knew her heart. 

Stacey will be laid to rest at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 11, 2025 at Sunset Memorial Park in Mountain City, TN.
