Elizabeth Marie (Betty) Sherlock Stacy

Elizabeth Marie (Betty) Sherlock Stacy “crossed the creek” on Friday, July 19, 2024, in her adopted hometown of Friendswood, TX. Betty was born on Thursday, February 6, 1947, in Mt. Vernon, NY. She was the first child and the daughter of William
J. Sherlock and Elizabeth Marie Brodbeck. She is survived by her loving husband, Gerald T. Stacy, and her younger brother, William J. (Bill) Sherlock of Henderson, NV, and his wife, Lynne Shul Sherlock.
Betty leaves behind four children and their spouses: Elizabeth Marie Denslow, and her husband Steven Denslow; Brian Michael Williams, Sr., and his wife, Katherine; Gerald Spencer Stacy and his wife Stacy Statham Stacy; and Brian Tremaine Stacy and his wife Donna Stacy.
She also leaves behind three grandchildren: Sarah Savannah Faith Stacy (23); Brian Michael Williams, Jr. (18) ; and Lucas Tremaine Stacy (5). Sarah was her first grandchild, Brian (Beamer) was her first grandson, and Luke shares Betty’s birthday on February 6th.
She leaves behind three bonus grandchildren by marriage: Adam Robertson and his wife Angel; Oscar Page; and Payton Page. Betty met Adam when he was five and he captured her heart when he put his hand in hers at his Mom’s wedding to Brian Stacy. She met Oscar and Payton when their Mom was going with Brian Michael Williams, Sr.
She leaves two very special “grandchildren:” Kennedy Thompson and Kooper Thompson. Betty met Kennedy and Kooper through their parents, Kenny and Joy Thompson at church. These children held a special place in Betty’s heart, and they lovingly called her “Grandma.”
Betty was a loving and special person who leaves behind a legacy that might be matched, but never duplicated. She was unique.
The funeral service for Betty will be held at 11:00 AM on Saturday, October 19, 2024, at Good Shepherd Episcopal Church, 1207 Winding Way Drive, Friendswood, Texas. Her ashes will then be placed in a niche in the columbarium in the church’s Memorial Garden. The reception will follow immediately in the church’s Sterling Hall.
