Jamie Rizzotto 

Born on December 6, 1963 in Houston TX to Larry and Karon Culbreath, Jamie Karyl (Culbreath) Rizzotto passed away on Saturday, February 24, 2018 in Austin TX surround by loving family and friends.

She lived a life full of adventures, one could tell from the stories she told. She married her best friend and soul mate Sammy Rizzotto, and not long after, she gave birth to her first son Jeremy, and couple years later along came her second, Lucas. She loved and cherished her family supporting them in each event. She was all about family, gathering and hosting events to be with everyone she loved. With the loss of her sister November 2010 she became a mother figure to more than just her two kids. Then only a couple years later she was diagnosed with stage 4 non-small-cell lung cancer. Although the odds played against her she was determined to fight. She was always known for being tough and stubborn so there was no stopping her in this fight. Defying all odds and expectations she lived nearly 6 years fighting and enjoying life. Up until the last few days she still proved wrong what seemed medically impossible. Words from her oncologist, Dr. Loukas  “She is the toughest person I’ve ever met.”

Now she leaves behind a legacy, and inspiration to all with or without cancer she is a reminder to all, that against all odds there is hope. She is now in heaven with her wonderful sister and smiling down upon us. Today we celebrate the life she lived and the eternal life she now has in heaven. She will be dearly missed by all her family and friends, which are many.

She is survived by her husband, Sammy Rizzotto of Liberty Hill, son Jeremy Rizzotto and wife, Chessa of Liberty Hill, son Lucas Rizzotto and wife, Grace of Liberty Hill, mother Karon Culbreath of Liberty Hill, father Larry Culbreath of Houston, brother Jack Culbreath and wife Kelly Ann of Jourdanton, nieces Amber Yow and husband Roper, Katherine Culbreath, Bailey Culbreath, and Chandler Culbreath and husband Will Beard, nephews Jarrett Culbreath, Reagan Houston IV and wife Megan, Ross Houston.  Great-nieces Kynlea Yow and Kelly Lynn Houston and Great-nephew Twister Yow.  Also surviving her are her “special” sisters – Christy Foster, Sandra Riley, Pamela Schuchart and Terry Koger.

    Jamie’s smile lit up rooms. I don’t think I ever saw her at work without that beautiful smile. She was a joy and inspiration and I will remember her always. God bless the family. Heaven has gained an angel!!!!

    I will miss Jamie’s smile and positive attitude. She was one of the first people I met when I began working at TCEQ in 2201 and she made me feel very welcome. I pray that the memories of a life well lived and loved by her family, friends and co-workers will bring comfort to her family. The word “trooper” was Jamie all the way. Sincere sympathies.
