Staci Harlan-Criswell

Staci Alece Harlan Criswell, 41, of Crosby, Texas went to be with her Lord on Thursday, July 7, 2016 after fighting a difficult 3-year battle with cancer.  Staci was in her home surrounded by family who loved her dearly.  A Celebration of Life service will be held at her home church, Vine Life Christian Fellowship, located at 910 Old Atascocita Rd, Huffman, Texas on Wednesday, July 13, 2016 at 2pm. There will be no viewing, visitation or graveside services.  Staci was born in Houston, Texas on Oct 10, 1974.   She was a devoted wife and mother, a precious daughter, loving sister, and wonderful Aunt Tootie to her nieces and nephews. Staci was a homeschool mom to her three children and was involved in all their activities.  She was active, as well, in community service projects and helped to feed the less fortunate. One of her favorite outings, even as a child, was the public library.  She passed the love of books on to her children and anyone else who would listen.  Staci had a special place in her heart for children and directed children's ministry for a number of years.  She had a voice of an angel, singing in the church praise & worship team, drama productions and specials.  She loved being a mother and aunt, and was generally addressed as Aunt Tootie by everyone.  Staci loved to travel but was just as happy staying at home surrounded by family playing games and having Sunday Dinners after church.  Her friends were her Friends forever and she was loved by so many.  Staci’s quick contagious smile and generous nature will be missed by so many. She is survived by her husband of almost 20 years, Mike Criswell; her children, Symon Criswell, Grace Criswell, and Judah Criswell; her parents, Steve and Brenda Harlan;  her sister, Shannon Nichols and spouse Wendell; her brother in law, Danny Criswell and spouse Ashley; her grandparents ,Bobbie Harlan and Gene and Elsie Stoker; nieces, Ashley Crawford and spouse Brandon, Destiny Criswell and Desiree Criswell; nephews,  Michael Fox, Danny Ray Criswell Jr.; great nephews, Carter, Levi and Fletcher Crawford, and a host of aunts,  uncles,  cousins and friends.  If anyone wishes to make monetary donations, it was Staci’s desire that proceeds go to Vine Life Fellowship to fund a new children's play area with picnic tables.  Services have been entrusted to Sterling-White Funeral Home 11011 Crosby-Lynchburg Rd. Highlands, Texas 77562.  To send the family condolences please visit www.sterlingwhite.com
