Stacy Danielle Brannan 45, of Pecatonica, passed away unexpectedly on April 25, 2026. Born in Rockford and raised in Pecatonica, Stacy was a devoted mother, a cherished daughter, and a deeply loved sister. She had a kind and generous spirit, always going above and beyond for those she loved, including her beloved pets.
Stacy was a proud fan of the Chicago Bears and often said she was lucky enough to witness the best season of Bears football. She found joy in planting flowers and hanging baskets each spring, creating beauty around her wherever she could. Above all, she treasured time spent with her daughters, family, and loved ones.
She is survived by her three daughters, Paige Longenecker, Kylie Longenecker, and Avery Brannan; her sisters, Erin Rice (Shaun Rice) and Angie Johnson; her parents, Randy and Karen Sims; her nieces, nephews, and special friend, Jessica Story.
Stacy will be remembered for her loving heart and the many lives she touched. Though her time here was far too short, her love will remain with all who knew her.
