1940 - 2025
Mary Alice “MA” Stalcup of Enid, Oklahoma, passed away peacefully on November 30, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. She leaves behind a legacy rooted in faith, compassion, and a lifetime spent lifting others up through the art of dance.
For 60 remarkable years, Mary Alice owned and operated the Mary Alice Stalcup School of Dance—a cherished community institution where generations of students found not only instruction, but also confidence, joy, and a second home. Through her talent, patience, and unwavering dedication, she shaped countless young lives, teaching her students to stand tall, believe in themselves, and carry grace both on and off the stage.
Her deep faith guided her quietly but powerfully throughout her life. It was reflected in the way she treated others—with patience, kindness, and a love that was steady and wholehearted.
Mary Alice is survived by her devoted husband, Tom Stalcup; her daughter, Shelley Stevenson, and husband Mark; grandchildren Blake Stevenson and his wife Merideth, and Demi Maguire and her husband Matt; as well as her son, Chad Stalcup, and his wife Debra, and grandchildren Cole and Camp.
Mary Alice touched generations, leaving behind a legacy of love, strength, and grace that will continue to shine through everyone whose lives she influenced. Her family, students, and community will forever remember Mary Alice for the light she brought into the world.
