Stacey Alane Harris

If you needed a friend, you could not have done better than Stacey. She was selective in her friends, but if you were her friend, you were lucky because she took care of her friends and neighbors. She took them to Dr appointments, ran errands for or with them, house sat, took care of their animals and was supportive in so many ways.

Stacey was a unique friend.  Even though she was on a tight budget, she always put others first.  She would give the shirt off her back if she thought you needed it.  Stacey was a light for all those around her.  I never heard her complain about her infirmities, not once.  If she did suffer, she suffered silently with the intention to never be a burden to anyone.  She was always giving, and I don’t recall a visit from Stacey that she wasn’t bring me something such as unique ashtrays, matching puppy pajamas for me and my husband, unique gadgets like 2-liter pop toppers and cell phone plugs.  She wouldn’t accept many gifts, but she gave gifts relentlessly. She was extremely trustworthy, and you could count on Stacey being entirely honest about her feelings, which are the qualities of a true friend.

If you were unkind to animals, in any way, you were a very serious enemy. Stacey loved all animals and would protect and take care of any animal she found. She once took an entire litter of kittens to live in her bedroom, it was a long time before that room smelled the same. 

Stacey attended the University of Texas and worked in the Texas Legislature while in college. This was the beginning of a lifelong interest in politics including working at the polls for every vote she was able to help. Stacey was a sound and lighting engineer at live concerts for many years in and around Austin, Tx including the Paramount Theatre. She was a Limo Chauffeur and drove a School Bus.  

She was preceded in death by her parents, Alan Harris and Rubye Harris, and her many fur babies. She was loved and will be missed by  her friends.
