Shelley Mayor Stacy Pascoe SHELLEY — Over the weekend, residents of Shelley were notified that Mayor Stacy Pascoe had died, leaving behind a legacy of public service and accomplishments. Pascoe has served the city as a councilman since 2011, until 2013, when he was elected mayor. Pascoe continued to serve as mayor for three terms and, last month, told EastIdahoNews.com that he had accomplished his goals and that it was time for new leadership. He opted not to run this year, and Kim Westergard, a member of the Shelley City Council, was chosen by voters as mayor-elect during the election last week. Westergard told EastIdahoNews.com that the news came as a shock to the city. “Stacy was the community. He worked very hard to make it a better place for all of us,” Westergard said. “We’d like to share our condolences with his family, his wife and children.” Looking for ways to honor Pascoe for his years of service, plans are underway to lower flags on the day of his funeral, observe a moment of silence during Wednesday’s city council meeting, and potentially host a community day of service. In a Facebook post, Westergard, on behalf of Pasoce’s family, issued a statement over his death. “The City of Shelley is deeply saddened to announce the passing of Mayor Stacy Pascoe.
