I felt like since I had mentioned Staci several times I would post this and provide a picture of how I told Nancy I would always remember Staci. She was around 23 at this time....she always seemed this young to me.
Staci Lyn McAuley went home to our Lord on Sunday, January 18, 2009, after a courageous battle with breast cancer. She died in her own home encircled in the love of her husband, chil-
odren and parents. Although she was just 40 years old, Staci lived a meaningful and inspired life, touching everyone around her with her faith and endurance down to her final moments. '
Born February 11, 1968, in Alva, Oklahoma, Staci had a life-long passion for music. A native Oklahoman through and through, she graduated from Edmond Memorial High School in 1986 and went on to University of Central Oklahoma to receive her degree in Music Theory. She loved singing and enjoyed major theatrical roles in high school and college productions. She played several musical instruments and taught voice and piano lessons throughout her adult years, imbuing future generations with her love of song.
While still a student at UCO, Staci met and married Robert J. McAuley, III. They were blessed with 2 beautiful daughters, Brianna and Kaitlin. Staci was as devoted to marriage and motherhood as she was to music. Her precious girls will be her legacy.
She adored the beach and loved to travel. In recent years Staci was able to take two memorable and meaningful vacations. She realized a life-long dream, when she and her family took a cruise around the Hawaiian Islands and, more recently, a wonderful trip to the _mountains of Colorado Springs. She returned from both trips renewed with many treasured memories.
In addition to her husband and daughters, Staci is survived by her parents, Nancy Gartman and Stan Lisman, as well as many other beloved family members. The family wishes to express their sincerest gratitude to their church families at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, Life Church, the community of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School, Dr. Michael Keefer and the staff at Mercy Hospital, Dr. Kiran Prabhu and staff at Integris Medical Center, and their extended family at Bank of Oklahoma.
One of Staci's favorite musicals was the Broadway show "Wicked." She was especially fond of the lyrics from the song "For Good" -- "So let me say before we part, so much of me is made of what I learned from you'. You'll be with me like a handprint on my heart."
Services are being coordinated by Baggerly Funeral Home at 930 S. Broadway in Edmond. Funeral service will be held at 10 am, Saturday, January 24, at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church (9th and Boulevard, Edmond) with the interment directly following at Memorial Park Cemetery at 13400 North Kelley in Oklahoma City. Donations may be made in her memory to The American Cancer Society.
