Alice Albina Hejtmanek Jurek, age 92 years, 10 months, and 8 days, was called home on February 8, 2011. Born on March 31, 1918 in Temple, she grew up on a farm in Matagorda County. When she started school, she only spoke Czech. She quickly learned English and moved to the head of her class. She graduated in 1937 from Blessing High School where she excelled in math, literature, and broad jumping. She lived and worked in San Antonio during the WWII war years and then in Houston before marrying Hubert Robert Jurek, her husband of 55 years. It's interesting that Hubert's older brother Henry had married Alice's sister Anna Mae Hejtmanek a few years before Hubert and Alice got married. Hubert and Alice moved to South Houston after the war. Alice was a very hard worker and was known for her attentiveness to detail, work ethic and natural abilities. An avid gardener, Alice tended her two large gardens with care, which produced vegetables year round. She loved flowers and her yard was always painted with blooms of all colors. She usually took a bouquet to decorate church and even had strangers stopping by asking for cuttings. She was a wonderful cook and her daughters' boyfriends often would show up unexpectedly just at meal time. Alice love music and frequently sang as she worked, usually church hymns and favorites from her youth. As a role model, Alice impressed upon her daughters the importance of higher education and independence, lessons that have turned out to be invaluable. Alice and Hubert, founding members of Pasadena Brethren Church, remained active in church activities until they could no longer leave home. Alice was a very generous and kindhearted person and always looked for the best in everyone. She was a homemaker who was dedicated to her family and their welfare, and she will be greatly missed. Alice was preceded in death by Hubert Jurek, son-in-law John Bryson, parents Frank and Albina Hejtmanek, brothers and sisters, Georgia Lostak, Anna Mae Jurek, Frank Hejtmanek and George Hejtmanek. She is survived by daughters Shirley Bryson, Karen Howery and husband Ken Howery, and Sandra Jurek, grandchildren Kenny Howery and Christina Howery McLellan and her husband John McLellan, great-granddaughter Emma McLellan, sister Martha Schimek and husband Ottmar Schimek, Sr. Visitation is Friday from 5 to 7 PM at the Pasadena Funeral Chapel, 2203 Pasadena Blvd, Pasadena, Texas. The funeral service will be Saturday at 10:30 AM at the Pasadena Funeral Chapel. A graveside service will be held at Hawley Cemetery in Blessing at 2:30 PM.
