Judy Diana Stacey Whitt, age 73, of Big Perry Road, Morehead, kicked cancer to the curb and went home to be with her Heavenly Father on Wednesday, December 10, 2025.
She was born May 31, 1952, a daughter of the late Rev. Clayton Donald Stacey and Bessie Thompson Stacey. She was also preceded in death by her sister, Donna Meek.
Diana was a retired billing clerk for the Cabinet for Human Resources. In her golden years, she devoted her heart to raising Addyson and caring for Gracie, even homeschooling them for a time. She loved tending to her beloved pets, spending time with family, and, through every trial, never lost her sense of silliness.
She is survived by her five children, Kelli Fraley, Kristi McKenzie, Jaime Brown, Kevin Brown (Whitney Irvin), and Addyson McKenzie, all of Morehead; 15 grandchildren, Megan Zimmerman (Bruce), Jessie Fraley, Gracie Fraley, Danielle Stump (Brad), Brady Thompson (Mackenzie), Ashton McKenzie, Austin McKenzie (Brynti), Dalton Spurlock, Deven Spurlock, Logan Brown, Neyah Martin Brown, John Stamper, Tabitha Stamper, and Cody Stamper; 13 great-grandchildren; a niece, Stacey Batchelor (Paul); and a great-nephew, Paul Thomas Batchelor.
Also surviving is her partner of more than 30 years, Donald Whitt; his children, Pat, Cheryl, Roger, Donna, Diana, and Missy; her life-long best friend, Cheryl Johnson; as well as many extended family members and friends who loved her dearly.
Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, December 13, 2025, at Northcutt & Son Home for Funerals Memorial Chapel with Pastor Robert Kidd officiating. Burial will follow in the Stacey–Brown Cemetery, 2760 Big Perry Road, Morehead.
Pallbearers include Bruce Zimmerman, Brad Stump, Brady Thompson, Ashton McKenzie, Austin McKenzie, Greg McKenzie, and Landon Peck.
Visitation will be from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, December 13, 2025, at Northcutt & Son Home for Funerals, 400 Fraley Drive, Morehead, KY 40351.
