Stacy, in her own words, “I started working at Airtex Products when I was eighteen years old. I think it is safe to say I grew up there. I got married and had my daughter while I worked there. I even divorced and faced a serious health scare all while working there. The people I worked with became more than friends, they were my family. This is one of the reasons why after 29 years I can honestly say I was devastated to learn the factory was closing.”
