Stacy Felicia Pogue

Stacy Felicia Pogue was born to Edward Leroy Pogue and Susie Lotts Pogue on August 2, 1963, in Washing- ton, DC. She was one of 5 children who was raised in and who attended public schools in the District of Columbia. She graduated from Ballou Senior High School in 1981. Stacy resided in the DC Metro area most her life. In the latter part of her life, Stacy moved to Martinsburg, West Virginia where she re- sided until her transition.

Stacy enlisted in the United States Air Force in 1983. After her military career, she returned to the DC Metro area. Upon her return, she secured employment at The Catholic University of America as a Campus Po- lice Officer. In 1988, she joined the Metro Transit Police Department where she remained for 13 years. In 2018, Stacy joined Alcohol, Tobacco, & Firearms (ATF) as a contractor.

Stacy was an avid reader and loyal Washington Redskins fan. She enjoyed music and was a collector of many paintings by contemporary African American artists. Stacy actively worked with many community service organizations and was a co-founding member of the African American Coalition of Transit Police, a chapter of the National Black Police Association. Stacy had a generous heart and showed this through the many charitable organizations she supported such as the Blinded Veterans Association, the Alzheimer's Association, World Vision USA, and the Black Lives Matter Foundation. Prior to her transition, she spearheaded the Pogue Family Headstone Project where she sought to raise funds to lay a memorial head- stone on the graves of her parents, brother, sister and cousin.
