Bio

Henry Pustejovsky, 89, of Abbott, passed away early Saturday, December 14, 2013, at Town Hall Estates in Hillsboro. A rosary will be recited at 7 p.m., Monday, at Aderhold Funeral Home Chapel in West by Deacon Denver Crawley. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m., Tuesday, at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Abbott, with Rev. Ouseph Thekkumthala as celebrant. Burial will follow in Fatima Cemetery. Henry was born near Abbott, Texs, to the late John and Annie (Bezdek) Pustejovsky. He attended Abbott and St. Mary's Schools and graduated from Abbott High School in 1943. He was immediately joined the U.S. Navy for the duration of World War II and served his country aboard a Liberty Merchant Marine ship. During his military service, he began writing a girl from West, Willie Mae Matus and asked her to become his wife. After the war ended, they were united in marriage on September 10, 1946 in West. Farming was always in his heart, but he worked for Convair, International Paper Company and retired from Plantation Foods on his 65th birthday. He continued to farm, jokingly calling that his most expensive hobby until his mid 70's. Henry was a charter member of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Abbott. He enjoyed visiting with family and friends. Before his death, he resided at Town Hall Estates with his wife of 67 years.
