Rainey "Pete" McCuiston
(November 18, 1948 - April 8, 2013)
Rainey “Pete” L. McCuiston, of Leander, Texas, passed away suddenly on April 8, 2013.
Pete leaves behind Charlotte, his adoring and devoted wife of 43 years; son, Randy McCuiston and wife Christi; daughter, Michelle Acton; mother, Maria McCuiston; brother, Ronnie McCuiston; sisters Gayle Dailey and husband J.T.; Pam Russo and husband Leonard; grandchildren Autumn, Amanda, Colby and Bella McCuiston, and Aiden Acton; numerous cousins, nieces and nephews; and a multitude of friends.
He is preceded in death by his father, Roy “Buddy” L. McCuiston.
Admired and revered for decades in the boat repair and construction industries, Pete was an artisan and his expertise was a gift from God. He spent thousands of tireless hours coaching and watching his children’s and grandchildren’s baseball, softball, football and soccer games; which enthralled Pete to the point of humorous obsession. Sports fields became a second home. The bass fishing and hunting communities lost a life-long companion, as well. Hunting and fishing brought him his greatest source of peace.
Never too tired to hear your story, Pete was quick to invite conversation. He never met a stranger, and was always willing to help in a time of need. Respected in the truest sense, Pete was a friend to many, but most importantly, he was a good husband, a good father…a good man.
Pete was blessed with a full life of promise and reward. He was truly loved and will be greatly missed.
A Visitation Service will be held on Saturday, April 13th, 2013, from 10:00am to 2:00pm at the All Faiths Funeral Service, 8507 N. IH-35, Austin, Texas 78753.
Friends and family are invited to attend a gathering at Maria McCuiston’s house at 120 Woodland Trail, Leander, TX immediately following.

MCCUISTON, Maria del Socorro Heflin Maria del Socorro Heflin McCuiston, 92, went home to her heavenly Father on Saturday, November 2, 2019. Maria was born on June 11, 1927, in Columbia, South America. Her parents passed away when she was 2 years old, and she was raised by her grandmother until she was 12. She then came to Austin to be raised by her aunt and uncle. Maria graduated from Austin High School, then worked at Scarborough's Department Store. After raising her 4 children, she worked for the Texas Highway Dept., where she retired. She met Roy "Buddy" McCuiston on a blind date, and they married in 1948. She and Buddy were married 56 years before he passed away. Maria loved life, and had a fun loving spirit. She was sweet, kind, and she went out of her way to befriend the friendless. Much of her time was spent cooking, sewing, and working in her yard. In recent years she especially enjoyed visits from family and friends, and watching the antics of squirrels, birds, and deer out of her kitchen window. Before moving to Leander years ago, Maria had been an active member of Wilshire Presbyterian Church. She was also a long time, active member of the Capitol Rod and Gun Club, where she enjoyed dancing, playing dominos, and traveling with her many friends there. She could put a smile on anyone's face, with her outgoing, colorful personality, and was always able to laugh at herself. She was one of a kind, and she will be missed. She is survived by her children, Gayle Dailey (JT), Pam Russo (Leonard), Ronnie McCuiston, and daughter in law Charlotte McCuiston. Grandchildren Randy McCuiston (Christi), Michelle McCuiston Owen (Travis), Brooke Dailey Brannin (Michael), John Dailey, Matt Russo (Alexandra), Daniel Russo (Devon), Trent Russo (Audrey), and Trevor Russo;12 great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.She is preceded in death by her parents Rainey and Teodora Heflin, her aunt and uncle Max and Alta Wilder, her husband "Buddy", and her son Rainey "Pete" McCuiston. The family wishes to thank the many caregivers from Visiting Angels and Hospice Austin for their care of Maria over the years. Special thanks to Marsha McNeil for caring for Maria as she would have cared for her own mother. We are very thankful that Maria was able to spend her last years in her own home.
