Bio

Fort Bend Herald, October 21, 2018: It is with great sadness yet faith filled joy that we announce the passing of our precious mother, Dorothy Rainosek. She passed into the arms of her heavenly Father on October 17, 2018 at the age of 89. She was born to Vladimir & Mary (Mazoch) Bartosh on May 29, 1929. She is predeceased by both parents, her husband Herman, an infant son Teddy Phillip, & her son-in-law James Campbell. All her siblings also predeceased her. They were Mary Eiland, Agnes Broz, Henrietta Kovar, Evelyn Rainosek & Eugene Bartosh. Two other siblings, Magdalene and Vladicek Bartosh, died in their childhood. 1 Peter 3:4 admonishes women in the following manner: …Let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious. That is the perfect description for our mother and even though she was quiet and nonassertive, she loved the boldness of the color red and polka dots. Our mother met the handsome Herman Rainosek of Fayette County through her sister Evelyn who married Herman’s brother Jerome. They met at her cousin’s wedding dance in Praha and she danced with our dad the entire evening. When the dance ended, he walked her to the car and planted a kiss on her cheek. He then thanked her parents (in Czech) for allowing him to dance with their beautiful daughter. Shortly thereafter, he left for service in the U.S. Navy and carried her picture with him abroad. He often pointed out to his fellow sailors that this was the girl he would marry when he got home. They were married in January of 1948 and that union lasted 68 years until his death in June of 2016. They lived in Schulenberg only for a short while, and made their permanent residence in Needville on the same farm where she was raised. When we read Proverbs 31: 25-28, we immediately think of our mother. “She is clothed in strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed……” She was industrious, hardworking, & arose early to attend to the needs of her family. We still remember the aroma of kolaches, strudel, homemade chicken noodle soup, oatmeal cookies, or freshly baked bread especially in the winter months when we returned home from school. She loved her Heavenly Father, her husband, and her children without question. She never wanted for the finer things in life…..whether it was clothes, shoes, or jewelry, nothing she had was ever extravagant. The needs of her family were more important to her than her own. After a few months of living at the SPJST Senior Living Center in Needville, the Director of Nursing, Angela, called her “Miss Easy-to-Please” and the staff and other residents enjoyed being a part of her life. Our mother was born the same year as the current St. Michael’s Catholic Church opened its doors. She and all of her children received their sacraments there. The church was very important to her, and she & our dad made sure we attended catechism classes and mass every Sunday and on holy days of obligation. When she was able, she was active in the KJZT, Altar Society, church bazaars, and twice, was kitchen chairman for the annual church bazaar. One of her final wishes was to see the rehabilitation of her beloved church and to attend the Bartosh reunion which came to pass this past October 7th. As a final tribute to our mother, we leave her with a farewell that was inscribed on the tombstone as seen in a very old cemetery in Texas…. “Mother, your faith and love carried you through your sorrows, now wear your crowns.” She is survived by her son Daniel Rainosek of Needville, daughter Stephanie (George) House of Lockhart, daughter Sharon Campbell of Sealy, & son Chris (Linda) Rainosek of Needville. Also surviving are her grandchildren: Nicole Corral, John Smith, David Allen Rainosek, Kristen Ullrich, Max Campbell, and Dana and Amber Rainosek. 6 great grandchildren also survive, as well as numerous nieces & nephews.
