    Her Story

    [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]On January 29th, 2019, Stacie Rae Morse was fatally injured during a catastrophic airplane crash while performing her duties as a flight nurse on a Guardian Med Flight destined to Kake, AK. She was 13 weeks away from giving birth to her first child, a daughter, Delta Rae Morse Listberger with her cherished fiancé, Dylan Listberger.

    She worked fulltime at Guardian Flight in Juneau, AK. as a med flight nurse and also helped train helicopter pilots, firemen, local first responders and members of the Coast Guard. In addition, she worked part time at Bartlett Hospital in Juneau. She was a true warrior as a patient advocate and still managed to keep her sense of humor during critical times.

    Stacie (“Big Mama” and “Stinky Rat” as she was affectionately known) LOVED Alaska and all it had to offer. She genuinely loved her Juneau community. Stacie made her mark everywhere she went. She was a BADASS adventurer. She left no stone unturned. In her short 30 yrs, she experienced more than most people accomplish in an entire lifetime. Delta Rae’s and Stacie’s loss is tragic and unimaginable. They are now our angels in Heaven that will guide us beyond our limits and be there when we can once again experience joy in our hearts.

    Stacie is survived by her dad Tim Morse, her sister Mallory Morse, her fiancé Dylan Listberger, her uncle Bryan Morse (Colleen), her auntie Suee deLucia (Jim), her mother and father in law Susan and Tom Listberger, her niece Kayla Aalpoel, and numerous other family members and close precious friends.

    Stacie and Delta Rae were predeceased by Stacie’s mom, Karen Peacock, grandparents Ellen and Marty Morse, uncle Mark Peacock and step brother Hunter Wayerski.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”profile-links-header”]

    Her Story

    [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Kaleigh Marie (Horne) Gibson, 37, tragically and unexpectedly passed away on 4/25/2024. She was born in Portland, ME on 5/20/1986, the daughter of Barry and Sandy (Parisi) Horne.

    After graduating from Gorham High School in 2004, she attended college at SMMC in South Portland and Wright State University in Fairborn, OH where she received her Bachelor’s degree. She lived in Ohio for 9 years where she forged many amazing and close friendships (Stacey, Marsha, Kara, Jessica, Erin, Rachel, Andi, Abby, Stephanie and so many more).

    On 5/13/2013, she was baptized at First Baptist Kettering church and was an active and faithful follower of Christ our Savior. Her bestie from Ohio introduced her to her future husband, and on April 11, 2015, she married Darrel Lee Gibson in a beautiful ceremony and celebration of the life they planned to build together. In December 2015, they decided to move back to Maine to be closer to her Maine roots and family, and Darrel started his career working for the Portland Police Dept.

    On 12/09/2019, their son, George David was born, and they were overjoyed with the beginning of building their beautiful family. On 10/13/2023, their daughter Hazel Grace was born, and this little darling completed their family. Kaleigh worked at Lindsay’s Kitchen at the Cornish Inn and the crew called her “our ray of sunshine”, and again she forged many beautiful friendships with the Lindsay’s Kitchen family crew.

    Kaleigh enjoyed many outdoor activities including so many boating adventures on Sebago Lake with family & friends, fishing with her dad, snowmobiling, hiking, and just being creative with her woodworking and painting talents. She was a member of The Rock Church in Scarborough, ME, where she met & became friends with so many who in turn became her second family.

    She is survived by her beloved husband, Darrel and two beautiful children, George & Hazel. Her parents Barry & Sandy Horne (Gorham), Linda Fuller (Ohio). Her uncles Jim Parisi and partner, Kevin Cough, Jeff Parisi and wife Sonia and son AJ; Stan & Louise Horne, and cousins, Kathy Horne Gallant and son Eric and daughter Nicky Peables & husband Preston and son Westin; Ross Horne and son Josh, Christal Partis and spouse Dana and sons Justin and Dylan; Travis Horne and wife Kerry and son Brendon, Brother in law Brian and wife Amanda, sister in law Julie Gibson Swisher and so many extended family members from NH, OH, TX, including family & friends from so many different parts of Kaleigh’s life.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”profile-links-header”]

    Her Story

    [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Liz’s family is heartbroken to share that Liz took her life on Saturday morning in Minneapolis while battling postpartum depression.

    She is survived by her parents Will & Eileen, brother Gabe, husband Chris and their new baby, Louis. She was an incredibly thoughtful, tender, caring woman who had the tendency to ask more questions of those around her than she would seek to answer.

    Liz worked with hiring teams within the Federal Government for many years, and was a valuable resource and partner to so many people during her career. A Minneapolis native, she was an avid football fan and Milwaukee Brewers fan, as required in their household. She was a passionate and critical admirer of films, most comfortable being side-by-side at a concert next to her husband, something they did often over the years. Liz was a gifted gardener, with a penchant for collecting unique plants both inside or outside of their home, and always on the lookout for unclaimed treasures to be found in antique or thrift stores. She took such joy in decorating and designing comfortable places within their home.

    She was an irreplaceable fixture to so many families, and was taken from our lives too early.

    She will be missed forever.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”profile-links-header”]
