Stormie grew up in Red Lake, MN, and El Reno, OK, and attended schools in Red Lake, Darlington, Calumet, and El Reno. Stormie had a vivacious spirit and created lifelong relationships wherever she went. Stormie moved to OK in 2003, she was welcomed into the Franklin, Cheyenne, and Arapaho families as a cherished daughter, sister, and friend. She moved back to Red Lake in 2008, graduated from Red Lake High School in 2009. She attended the Red Lake and Leech Lake Tribal Colleges. She worked at various jobs in MN and OK. In 2021, while in Minnesota, she found her passion working with adolescents, she began working for the Leech Lake Band Adolescent Outpatient Program as an A&D Outpatient driver. Stormie began working to get her counseling certificate through UMICAD. She wanted to be a counselor because of her own personal struggles, and really wanted to help people going through what she went through, especially the youth. Stormie's dream was to return to that line of work that she loved.

Stormie truly had a beautiful soul, her love radiated and touched everyone she met. She always had such a vibrant vibe and personality. She was one of the rare ones, so effortlessly herself. Stormie could light up a room with her presence. Her laugh and smile were contagious, she was like magic. She made everyone feel special and seen, like they were her favorite person. Stormie was always a huge supporter of her friends and family's accomplishments and decisions, a person who you could count on to be in your corner. She was a social butterfly and a person who you could talk to for hours. Stormie had the biggest heart. She loved to spoil others and was deeply loved by everyone who had the honor of knowing her. Stormie was never afraid to live life. She loved hard. She never let any obstacles get in her way. She took on everything with positive energy. She could do anything she set her mind to.

In her lifetime, Stormie's most cherished accomplishment was becoming a mother to Dream Leigh Beasley. To Stormie, it was Dream's world and she worked hard to give Dream the life she deserved. Stormie loved Dream with everything she had, treasured every moment she spent with her, taking Dream to many places, and meeting new people. They lived life full of experiences and made memories that would last a lifetime. Dream was immensely loved by Stormie and that love will carry on throughout her life.
