  Tacia was born March 17, 1981 in Kilmichael, MS and is the daughter of Natalie Mullins Curtis (Keith) of Grenada and the late James Clinton Burks. She was a graduate of Central Hinds Academy in Raymond, MS and received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing. On February 17, 2008, she married her beloved husband, Gregory Nathan Winter, who survives.
  Tacia served passionately as an extremely dedicated and skilled nurse for 18 years. In anything that she did, Tacia gave 100% effort and worked hard to love and help others, often times going above and beyond to bring patients gifts to brighten their day. In her free time, Tacia loved to cultivate life, from growing numerous plants to caring for her koi pond. She is remembered sitting by the koi pond many mornings drinking her coffee, watching the pond peacefully hum with life. Tacia also loved to spend time with her family and show her love through gift giving. She felt so much joy through giving gifts and keeping momentous photographs of her loved ones. Everyone could see how much she cherished her family. She loved especially to laugh with her twin sister Christi and other family members, constantly trying to bring about joy through laughter. Tacia loved her family more than anything. Tacia's joy was to be a caring mother to Emma and Lily, spending countless hours planning the perfect parties to celebrate them on their birthdays. Her love was to be a loving partner and companion to Greg. Her adoration was to be a lifelong best friend to her sister, Christi. Tacia lived vivaciously and loudly because of her love for her life and family. She is survived by a family who will forever remember her as the giving, compassionate, loving woman that she was.
