Stacey McInroe Conner

Stacey McInroe Conner didn’t like to be called amazing, but by all accounts she was an incredible young woman.

Despite the fact that she was born without arms, she lived a full, interesting and independent life, which included driving, horseback riding, and attending university. She was a self-less volunteer who was deeply committed to helping child amputees.

Stacey died as a result of an accident on May 24, 1990, shortly before her 23rd birthday.
