Nancye Cordelia Bailey Curcio

Nancye Cordelia Bailey Curcio passed away peacefully on February 23, 2026, surrounded by her loving family. 
She was born August 4,1932 in Clyde, Texas to John Thaxton and Ellen Yarbro Bailey. Nancye's grandparents were Dr. John Houston and Cordelia Thaxton Bailey of Clyde. Nancye graduated from Clyde High School and attended McMurry University in Abilene. She married Benny Ross Everett, and they raised three children together. 
She was remarried to Tony R. Curcio, a realtor, in 1988. They spent 24 very happy years of love and companionship together; they were the best of friends.
Nancye may best be remembered by her daily presence while working at Athletic Supply in Abilene. She made many friends there, workers and customers. Nancye was a People Person.
Being a darn good golfer, Nancye enjoyed watching Tiger Woods' career. But football was her favorite sport, and she loved her Dallas Cowboys. 
Mrs. Curcio is survived by one brother, Dr. John A. Bailey of Horseshoe Bay. Two sons: David Everett (Maria) of Mansfield, Robert (Bobby) Everett (Dolores) of Clyde and daughter Terri Everett Kansteiner (Mark) of LaGrange.

Eight great-grandchildren: Hannah Everett, Aubrey, Jacob and Wesley Muzny, Henry Ross Muzny, Douglas, Garrett and Brendan Rummell.
