Cynthia Harland Falco

March 31, 1956 - Dec. 23, 2020

It is with profound sadness that the family of Cynthia “Cindy” Harlan Falco announce her passing on Dec. 23, 2020.

Cindy spent her final days at home in League City surrounded by her loving family.

She was preceded in death by her father, George L. Harlan, and step-sister, Lisa Marie Trevino.

Cindy was born on March 31, 1956, in San Antonio at Lackland AFB to George L. Harlan and Rosalis Puhalak. Her family later relocated to Marlin. She met the love of her life, Nunzio Falco, while attending Marlin High School. They married soon after her graduation.

After moving to League City in 1975, she began a career as a graphic designer, first working at a local newspaper, then spending 17 years with Foley’s in the advertising department.

For the past seven years Cindy was employed by Apple, Inc., as a level two advisor. She had a talent for helping others navigate technical computer issues.

When she wasn’t working, you could find her sewing. She was a gifted seamstress and quilter, a skill she inherited from her mother and grandmother. She was passionate about quilting and loved making them for family.

The only thing she was more passionate about was her role as Nana to her nine grandchildren. Spending time with each one of them was her greatest pleasure. Family dinners, outdoor movies and vacations together made her happiest. She was the organizer of the best family traditions like baking Italian cookies at Christmas, making homemade Italian sausage and 1,000 count water balloon fights at the lake. She was an amazing daughter, sister, wife, mother and Nana.

Cindy is survived by her devoted husband of 46 years, Nunzio Falco; children, Elysia and her husband Mickey Johnson, Anthony and his wife Tiffani Falco, Victoria and her husband Jeremy Butzke, Rosalis Tyboroski and her husband Julian; grandchildren, Alexandra, Gianna and Priscilla Johnson, A.J. Carter and Avelyn Falco, Ava, Finna and Layna Butzke; siblings, Deborah Ownby and her husband Sam, Lisa Roppolo and her husband Nathan; step-sister, Tina Powell and her husband Mike; many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, many cousins and friends.

Rosary was recited on Dec. 30, 2020, at 7:45 a.m. followed by funeral mass at 8:30 a.m. at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, League City. Graveside services were held at 10 a.m. at Mt. Olivet Catholic Cemetery.
