Poor Stacy. There's no quick fix, unfortunately - just practice practice practice. And always make sure she gets rewarded for coming when called (it also helps if you can make your voice sound happy when you call her, even thought you may want to wring her little neck). The more fun you make it sound, the more likely she is to come. Another good thing that works is calling her while running AWAY from her and clapping (as if you are playing a game with her - as Amanda mentioned above). While you are practicing, you might want to invest in a long line as insurance, so that she can't really get away from you.
She'll get there, just try to invest 10-15 minutes a day for practice. And, until she is 100% perfect at recall, always keep her on leash (and in any new situations also, because sometimes they can't apply what they learned in one environment to what is happening in a different environment - does that make sense?).
