Anna Belle Stulting

Posted

Anna Belle Stulting, our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great grandmother, passed away peacefully on January 2, 2025, in Moulton, Texas at the age of 99.  Born on March 24, 1925, in Edna, Texas, Ann grew up in a time of profound transformation, witnessing nearly a century of remarkable change and progress. She was raised during the depression and this formed a foundation of how she approached life. She embraced each chapter of her life with grace, resilience, and an enduring sense of humor that brought comfort and joy to all who knew her. 

Ann spent 82 remarkable years as the First Lady of the Stulting Ranch and the matriarch of our family. A devoted wife, loving mother, and adoring “Grannie,” she led with unwavering love, strength, and compassion. Whether raising her children, supporting her husband, or serving her community, Ann approached every task with pride, determination, and a deep sense of purpose. Ann loved supporting the Waelder Wildcats and you could always count on her having a car load of kids following the bus to most games. She enjoyed dancing and being with good friends. As most women of that generation, she was an excellent cook and seamstress. She was always ready to volunteer to be a chaperone, bake a cake for the sports banquet, set up a sock-hop or sew a dress, shirt or costume for anyone. She made many prom and wedding dresses. 

Her legacy is one of kindness, compassion, and an unwavering faith that guided her through life’s challenges. Ann’s laughter was contagious, her wisdom profound, and her love boundless. She leaves behind a family that cherishes her memory and a community that was enriched by her presence. Her life was a testament to the power of love, the strength of family, and the beauty of a life well-lived. Anna Belle Stulting will be deeply missed but never forgotten. We find comfort in knowing that she is at peace, reunited with her beloved Elvis, and surrounded by the love of those who have gone before her.

Anna is survived by her loving family, including her daughter, Marjorie Winn; her son, Elvis Stulting; and her grandchildren, Amy Reeves and husband Bert, Joe Winn, and Matthew Stulting. She also leaves behind her cherished great-grandchildren: Cortney Parker, Brittany Neel, Summer Winn, Evan Winn, Antonio Stulting, Christoph Stulting, and Bert Reeves Jr., as well as her beloved great-great-grandchildren: Cade, Cason, Adley, Jaycee, Barrett. Her family will continue to honor her legacy by living with the same love and dedication she exemplified and by preserving her memory on the Stulting Ranch.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Elvis Stulting, as well as her three brothers and two sisters.
