Stacy Belden

Stacy Dawn Belden, born on December 1, 1984, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was a beacon of light in a world that often needs it. A force of nature with an insatiable curiosity and a love for life that was contagious. She lit up every room she entered, and her presence will be deeply missed. As Maya Angelou once said, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Stacy made everyone around her feel special, loved, and appreciated.

Stacy was gifted with many talents. As a respected medical coder, she spent her days working diligently in the medical field, contributing positively to the lives of many. But her creative spirit truly shone through in her cake decorating, where each creation was a testament to her patience, skill, and artistic eye. Her love for music was infectious, often filling her home with melodies that brought joy to all who were lucky enough to hear. She was also a technological whiz, always on top of the latest gadgets and trends. As Albert Einstein said, "The measure of intelligence is the ability to change." Stacy exemplified this, continually learning and adapting, setting a shining example for her beloved daughter, Callie.

Stacy is survived by her daughter, Callie Belden of Tulsa; her mother, Patricia Hinch of Tulsa; brother, Brandon Hinch of Tulsa; fiance, Will Whitfield of Tulsa; aunts, Rhonda Beymer and her husband, Michael, of Tulsa, and Margret Kays of Collinsville; uncles, Harvey Cates of Glenpool, Glen Hinch, and Bruce Cates and his wife, Teena, of Prettywater.

She was preceded in death by her father, Stanley Hinch; grandparents, Johnny and Viola Cates; aunt, Jackie Hinch; and uncles, Ronnie Cates and John Cates
