Stacy Curtis, age 52, passed away unexpectedly at her south Austin home on March 23, 2021.
Stacy was born in Georgetown, Texas on September 27, 1968 to Sandra Vaglienti Winkler and Lester Nelson Fuller (deceased). She touched countless lives with her giving spirit and would light up the room with her smile, her laugh, and her music. If you didn't know her, chances are, you know someone that does.
Music and a deep personal faith guided her in everything she did and inspired everyone that met her along the way. Her grandmothers played a big part in nurturing her musical talents and passions from an early age. As a young girl, she sang and played the piano and as a teenager she took up the French Horn in the Georgetown High School marching band. When people would ask her who she was she would say, "I'm a horn player." It was as though the instrument became an extension of her person. After graduating Georgetown High school, Stacy went to Texas Tech and later the University of Texas, where she pledged with the Mu Phi Epsilon sorority and played in the wind ensemble. During college and early teaching years she would sit for hours at her kitchen table designing marching band formations. She graduated from the University of Texas in 1992 with a degree in Music Education. Stacy took her faith and passion for music into her teaching. For over twenty years of teaching band and choir, she served her students beyond the classroom by being a mentor and support system. In 2000, she met and fell head over heels in love with her husband, James Curtis. They were wed in 2002, and in 2005, she gave birth to their first child, Cody. That same year she began her work with Covenant Presbyterian Church in their music department. Her work with the church allowed her to truly marry three of her passions -- faith, music, and teaching children. In 2007, she gave birth to her twins Hayley and Ryan. As in every other stage in her life, she took to mothering with passion and determination. She leaves behind her beloved husband of 19 years, James Curtis, and her children Cody (16), Hayley (13) and Ryan (13); her mother Sandra Winkler and Stepfather John Winkler; and her siblings Antone Fuller (Michele Thelen), Robin Stephens (Thomas), and Eric Winkler (Tammy); and many nieces and nephews and cousins. She has a large extended family in League City and Fredericksburg and loved to visit with them as often as she could. She was preceded in death by her grandparents and her father. She is currently under the care of Cook-Walden Funeral Home. Visitation will be held on April 1, 2021, from 6 - 8 pm at Cook-Walden Funeral Home, 6100 North Lamar, Austin, TX. Funeral Service will be held on April 2, 2021, at 1:00 pm at Cook-Walden Funeral Home. Committal Service will be held on April 2, 2021, at 2:30 pm at Austin Memorial Park Cemetery, 2800 Hancock Drive, Austin, TX. There will be a celebration of Stacy's life at Covenant once Covid attendance restrictions have been lifted.
