Stacey Lynne Nolan POCHOP 

Was born August 2, 1972 in Greeley, CO and died on
September 9, 2007 after a brief, courageous battle
with melanoma. Stacey passed from her earthly life in
the arms of her loving husband and surrounded by
immediate family. Stacey was a beautiful, strong,
loving and determined woman. Kindness was the guiding
principle by which she chose to lead her life. Even as
her body was failing, her thoughts of, and concern for
others was touching--and so typical of the kind and
thoughtful way she lived her life. Stacey accomplished
every goal she set, whether it was a milestone
achievement or a household organizational task. She
graduated from Lake Washington H.S in 1991 and
received her baccalaureate degree from the University
of Washington in 1995. She earned her Doctorate of
Pharmacy from UW in 1999 and loved her work as a
clinical pharmacist in Oceanside, C.A. While in
California, she presented her most amazing
accomplishment-and the joy of all our lives-Madison
Rose and Connor Bowes Pochop. Stacey is survived by
her husband, Maj. Timothy B. Pochop, USMC; Connor and
Madison Pochop; her parents, Mary Nolan and Tom and
Beth Nolan; and her second family, Jeff and Susie
Pochop, Jay, Tammy and Jared Pochop, Russ and Kirsten
Pochop and Amy, Bryant, Austin and Emerson Budde. In
addition, Stacey leaves behind a large circle of
treasured friends with whom she created lifelong bonds
and lasting, loving memories. Those of us left behind
take comfort in knowing that Stacey is at peace and
has gone to join her brother, Kyle Nolan. A Memorial
will be held on September 15th, at 1:00 p.m., at the
Greenwood Christian Church, 8018 Fremont Ave N.,
Seattle, WA 98103. In lieu of flowers, please send
contributions for education to Connor and Madison
Pochop at the Bank of America. Please visit Stacey's
