By NewsPress Now
Stacy Lynn Curtis, 58, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, May 1, 2024, after a battle with lung cancer and COPD. She was lovingly surrounded by family at the time of her passing. Her sister, Sammi, was at her side tending to her needs.
Born on May 7, 1965, she was the youngest daughter of Robert and Beverly Wolfing. Growing up, she split her time between living with her father in St Joseph and living with her mother in Lincoln, Nebraska.
December 1982, Stacy married the love of her life, Charles Curtis, in a small church ceremony celebrated by family and friends. Together they built a life of 41 years, raising their two beautiful daughters, Lachelle and Annie, and adoring their grandchildren.
Stacy’s journey through life was marked by her devotion to her family, her passion for caring for others, and her unwavering kindness. Stacy was a great storyteller, entertaining and making everyone laugh with stories of her latest mishaps. Stacy had an innate ability to make everyone feel loved and appreciated. Everyone was welcome in her home. She loved to decorate her home, especially for Halloween.
She was preceded in death by three sisters, Micki Jo West, Tamala Boydston, and Rosie; her brother, Robert Wolfing Jr.; her sister-in-law, Cindy Wolfing; her parents, Robert Wolfing Sr., Beverly Newman; her stepmothers, Janice Wolfing and Burnita Wolfing; grandparents, Ernest and Genevieve Wolfing, Oscar and Ethel Perkins; grandmother-in-law, Opal Thompson; and precious infant granddaughter, Trinity Dawn Mae Gallegos.
Stacy leaves behind the only love she has ever known, her husband, Chuck. Her legacy will be carried on by her daughters Lachelle (Robert) Schmitt, and Annie Curtis (Travis Holbrook); granddaughters, Hailey Roach, Breyonna Gardner, Taylynn Holbrook; grandsons, Gauge Curtis, Chad Brant, Tyson Holbrook and TJ Holbrook; her siblings, Sammi Puett, of Kansas City, Michael Wolfing (Shirley) and Kim Wolfing, of Lincoln, Rodney Wolfing (Malinda), of St. Joseph; and stepbrother, Michael Locke, of St Joseph. She also leaves behind sister-in-law, Shelly Garland (Mark); sister-in-law, Robin Jenkins (Thad); and a large extended family of nieces, nephews, and cousins, all of whom will deeply miss her fun-loving spirit and generous heart.
Lynn Curtis’s life was one of nurturing love, selfless service, and the joy of simple pleasures. Her memory will be cherished and kept alive in the stories passed down through generations. May her memory live on forever in our hearts and lives.
The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday May 6, 2024, at the Rupp Funeral Home. Funeral services and public live stream will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Tuesday at the Rupp Funeral Home, Reverend Jim Longe officiating.
