Okay, I’ll have to correct myself here.
The obituary mentions her mother as “Carol (Washluske) Kamano”. The brackets in obituaries are often used for the name of spouses, but in this case, it’s her mother’s maiden name. Bluhm must be from Leona’s second husband.
Stacey is the daughter of Carol Lynn J. (Washluske) and Michael T. Kamano.
Stacey’s maternal grandfather was William Edward Washluske/Washluski (the son of Gustav/Gustave Washluski and Christina Ruffel/Raffle). Gustav and Christina were German immigrants. Gustav’s father was Polish.

So her mother is 5/8ths Polish and 3/8ths German.
*The reference for Gustav being half Polish and half German is the 1910 census, where he lists himself and his father as “Polish, Ger” (Polish from Germany) and his mother as “German, Ger”.
