Stacy A. Grondin

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Stacy A. Grondin, 49, of Nashville, Tenn., passed away at Vanderbilt Hospital after a short battle with aggressive cancer on Feb. 19, 2024.

Stacy was born on Feb. 21, 1974, to Robert Grondin and Gail Champine (Whitter) in Augusta. A few years later they moved to Winslow where Stacy graduated from Winslow Senior High School class of 1992. Stacy met the father of her three daughters, Jeffrey Gush, shortly after graduating. Stacy and Jeff relocated to Tennessee in the fall of 1997. She worked at Toys R Us until the store closed. She then worked for Aldi’s for many years in different positions for the company. Most recently she worked at Sprout’s Farmers Market. While down there she met her boyfriend of 20 years, Christopher Richardson.

Stacy absolutely LOVED spending time with her grandchild, she spent as much time as she could with them right up to the last weeks of her life. Stacy loved animals and frequented the Nashville Zoo often. She leaves behind her two dogs Bella and Polo and her two cats Koala and Fat Cat. Outside of spending time with her daughters and grandchildren she loved escaping the Nashville heat and visiting home (Maine) as often as she could.

Stacy was predeceased by her daughter Jaime Ann Gush (Ashley’s twin); both sets of grandparents Armand and Evelyn Grondin and Stanley and Irene Whittier both of Augusta; her uncle Stephen Grondin.

Stacy is survived by her father Robert Grondin (long time girlfriend, Tina Wellman) of Mt Vernon, her mother Gail Champine (spouse, Timothy) of Waterville, her sisters Jessica Grondin (nephew and niece Dylan and Madison Yakimchick) of Waterville, Carly Champine of No. Attleboro, Mass.; her three beautiful daughters and four grandchildren Samantha Gush, Ashley Gush (granddaughter Ashlyn Clinard, grandson Leo Gush and granddaughter Aurora Cartelli) and Emily Grondin (grandson, Kaiden “KK” Grondin) all residing in Nashville. She also leaves behind her aunts Alice, Joyce, Pam and Jane, and her uncle David; along with many cousins.

Stacy’s unforgettable positive energy and laughter will be greatly missed by all.

A celebration of life will be on March 17, 2024 at 2 p.m. at the Pointe Afta, 252 China Rd Winslow, ME 04901.
