Bio
Zigmund James Cernoch, of Weimar, passed away at St. David Hospital in Austin on his 87th birthday, Sept. 7, after a sudden brief illness. Funeral services were held at St. Michael Catholic Church on Sept. 10. The Mass of Resurrection was celebrated by his nephew and godson, Rev. Gerard Cernoch, of Bay City, along with concelebrant Rev. John Bily, of Weimar. Interment followed at St. Michael Cemetery. Zigmund was born on Sept.7, 1922 in Dubina, to Karel and Emilie (Krecmer) Cernoch. He attended Dubina schools. Zigmund entered the U.S. Army on Nov. 14, 1942 and was honorably discharged on Feb. 14, 1946. He spent four years in the Army and fought on various islands in the Pacific theater. On Aug. 14, 1944, while on furlough, Zigmund married Georgia Margaret Heger at St. Michael Church in Weimar. He lived his entire life in Weimar. Zigmund worked as a mechanic with Loessin Implement Co., retiring after many years of service. He continued to work on lawn mowers and small engines at his home for a good number of years enjoying the fellowship that came with each repair. He enjoyed reading, fishing, barbecuing, and old cars. He was proud of his Czech heritage in that he could read, write and speak it fluently. He also enjoyed polka music and dancing. In his later years, he designed and built numerous birdhouses, many of which he donated to various local organizations. He was a member of St. Michael Catholic Church, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and the KJT. He was preceded in death by his parents, five brothers, and five sisters. Survivors include his wife, Georgia, of 65 years; four daughters, Sister Mary Beth, IWBS of Corpus Christi, Clare Coleman and her husband Gary, of Lake Jackson, Rita Srubar and her husband Bob, of Weimar, and Janell Ellison and her husband Bill, of Orange; four sons, Donald and wife Marie, of Holman, David and wife Nancy, of Ellinger, Charles and wife Barbara, of High Hill, and Marvin and wife Catherine, of Weimar. He is survived by 10 grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, two step-grandchildren, and five step-grand children. Pallbearers were grandsons, John Ellison and Matt Srubar; sons-in-law, Bill Ellison, Bob Srubar, and Gary Coleman; and nephew, James Dusek.
