Stacey J. Hunt

Rensselaer-Stacey J. Hunt, age 56, passed away peacefully on Sunday, June 8, 2025, at Rosewood Nursing and Rehabilitation. Born in 1969 in Hudson, NY, Stacey was the daughter of the late John A. and Karen (née Pechtel) Dingman Hotchkiss.

A graduate of Chatham High School, Stacey was a dedicated equestrian and spent many years working at Lukens Stables in Ravena, where her love for horses and animals truly shined. Her deep compassion for animals was most evident in the bond she shared with her cherished cat, Louie.

Stacey is survived by her brother-in-law, Patrick Hart, her longtime partner, Bradley Luken and her dear friend, Barbara Caldwell, who was a constant source of support and love.

Along with her parents, she is predeceased by her beloved sister, Shelly Hart, who she now joins in eternal rest.

Services will be held private at the convenience of the family.

In honor of Stacey's lifelong love for animals, memorial donations may be made to the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society, 3 Oakland Avenue, Menands, NY 12204.
