Bio
Joseph L. Marusak, 90, of Ennis, passed away April 29, 2018, at Ennis Regional Medical Center, with his family at his side. Burial will be at St. Joseph Cemetery. Joseph Leslie was born in Ennis, Texas, to the late Joseph W. and Agnes Zmolik Marusak. Joe graduated from St. John High School in Ennis. He served in the U.S. Marine Corp during World War II from 1945 to 1946 before he married Ella May VInkler on June 15, 1947. Joe was a man of many talents and known for his intelligence and wit. He worked many years as a master trim carpenter, and later in life he developed an interest in taxidermy that showcased his artistic talents and kept him in high demand in the local community. He was also a talented musician, playing the clarinet and saxophone in multiple bands, most notably the Music Masters and The Eric Honza Orchestra. Like his siblings, he had a beautiful voice and sang in the St. John Choir for many years. He loved to hunt and fish with his family, and he enjoyed an e-mail correspondence with his friends in the Czech Republic. Joe was an avid stamp collector and stayed connected to his family and friends through his computer and the internet, and often translated documents and letters into the Czech language as a hobby. He was a member of St. John Nepomucene Catholic Church and KJT Society #35. He was preceded in death by his wife of 64 years, Ella; and siblings: Sister Agnes Marie Marusak, Walter Marusak, Pauline Blazek, Alex Marusak, Anna Catherine Marusak, and David Marusak. Survivors include his daughter, Joyce Falger; sons: Donald Marusak, Gary Marusak and his wife, Debbie, Joe Marusak, Jr., and Tim Marusak and his wife, Tonya; grandchildren: Russell Marusak, Amanda Cabrera and her husband, John, Meagan Beets and her husband, Jamie, Bob Marusak, and Chris Marusak; great-grandchildren: Adriana, Matthew, and Noah Cabrera, Zoe Hubacek, Sadie Amador, and Jamie Beets; brothers, Leonard Marusak and his wife, Denice, George Marusak and his wife, Mary K.; sisters: Agnes Prachyl, Helen MIkel, Mary Ann Gagen and her husband, Marty, Marcy Krieger and her husband, Bill; and sister-in-law Mary Alice Marusak.
