Stacie Hamburger Rus‐sell, 49, was called home to the comfort of her Lord in the early morning hours of Tuesday, July 7, 2026, at home in Prairieville LA fol‐lowing a courageous battle with Pancreatic Cancer. She was surrounded by the people and the sounds she loved, and she left us with a smile Stacie was born on July 15, 1976, in Metairie, LA, to Larry and Debra (Barker) Hamburger. Sta‐cie's mom preceded her in death and undoubtedly was waiting for her with open arms, alongside her beloved Mimaw. Stacie is survived by her son Trevor Russell and bonus daugh‐ters Brittany Turner (Tyler) and Breanna Russell, all of Prairieville, LA; as well as two bonus grandchildren, Braelynn and Tyson. Stacie is also survived by her fa‐ther, Larry Hamburger, Sr., and brother Larry Ham‐burger, Jr. Stacie leaves be‐hind in this world count‐less aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews cousins, family and friends Stacie at‐tended Saint Catherine of Siena Catholic School in Metairie before graduating from Mount Carmel Acad‐emy in New Orleans in 1994. Stacie attended Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge and gradu‐ated with a business de‐gree in 1998. Following graduation, she put her gift with numbers to good use by engaging in a very long career in account manage‐ment. This gift also pro‐duced her attention to de‐tail, preparedness (she al‐ways had anything anyone needed), and impressive Excel spreadsheets. Most recently she worked at APTIM Obituaries will often list every accom‐plishment and accolade in one's life. While Stacie has many, she would say her greatest contribution to this world is her son Trevor. Stacie was always present to cheer him on encourage, guide, advise, and comfort. She raised a kind, intelligent, and ac‐complished young man who gives to his circle of family and friends in the same way his mother did And through the past 7 months of her cancer bat‐tle, the beauty of the life Stacie lived became the center of her final days
