Stacy Renee Edwards, 54, of Greenville, Texas, passed away on January 15, 2025. She was born on November 05, 1971, in Dallas, Texas, to Eulon Gustafson and Beverly Wagner.
Stacy was known for her big heart and helping many troubled teens and young adults, taking them under her wing she helped them become closer to God and reach goals they didn’t think were possible. She touched many lives as a Youth Minister for 12 years and as a dedicated Special Education Teacher for 15 years after completing her Bachelor’s Degree at A&M Commerce University. She worked in many school districts including Sulphur Springs ISD, Quinlan ISD, Greenville ISD and Terrell ISD. She was loved by her students almost as much as she loved them. Outside of her career she loved to go fishing and hunting but most of all loved to go to Galveston and be on the beach where she would often shark fish. Her hobbies included drawing and painting anything from some sketches in a sketchbook to painting wall murals for churches and families.
Above all of this she enjoyed her family the most, being surrounded by her children and grandchildren is where she felt the most joy. She is survived by her former husband and close friend James Edwards, her sons Justin Gustafson and partner Tisha Foley, Bryan Goins and partner Rebecca Smith, Nathaniel Edwards and partner Akira Raynor. Daughters Heather Wilson and husband Michael, Gracy Whitmire and fiancé De Skidmore, her mother Beverly Wagner and brothers Galen Gustafson and Brian Gustafson., her grandchildren Devyn, Nattalee, Augustus, Matthew, Oliver, Emmalee, Jace, Daxton, Lyle, Lawson and Layken.

Stacy will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Her love for God, teaching and children will live on in the hearts of her family, friends and students.
