Stacey Deanna Milbourne-Taylor, heard the call of the Lord and gently took the Master’s hand on May 4, 2018, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on June 7, 1965 to Terry and Justine Holden and Umar Saddiq.
Stacey was a 1983 graduate of Arcadia High School and later attended the Eastern Shore Community College, where she studied Business.
Stacey worked at various local businesses during her life including: Eastern Shore Seafood and Perdue Farms. For the last twenty-nine years, she was employed by Tyson Foods, Inc., formerly Holly Farms. She was dedicated and would work even when physically, she felt unable to.
At an early age, Stacey joined St. Mark United Methodist Church in New Church, Virginia. Recently she joined St. John’s United Methodist Church in Atlantic, Virginia. She found a special joy in hearing her pastor preach. She would often tell people that “Miller preached a hole in the wall.”
