Bio
Bessie Hetmer, 92, passed away early on Friday, September 4, 2020 in Mesquite, Texas. Burial will be at St. Joseph's Cemetery. Bessie was born on July 24, 1928, in Ennis, Texas, to the late Joe J. and Annie V. (Palka) Jaska. She grew up in Ennis and attended Ennis High School. Bessie worked for Louise Chaney Sportswear, Parker Garrick, Pearsol Appliances and was a sought after seamstress in Ennis. When Bessie was a seamstress in Ennis, her joy was to see how beautiful the girls looked in their Prom dresses, Bridesmaid gown and Bridal gowns. Bessie was a member of the St. John Nepomucene Catholic Church of Ennis, KJZT and SPJST. Bessie taught her family what true “unconditional” love really means. She was a role model of what it meant to be a mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She always did for everyone else but herself. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy, she always lite up when they entered the house. She spoiled them rotten. Bessie never used the word “in-law” regarding her children and grandchildren’s spouses as were always considered as her children. Bessie enjoyed playing golf and you never bothered her when golf was on TV. Her Czech heritage was her pride and she loved her music and dancing to the Polka and Waltzs.
