Bio
Magdalen Ann Potcinske, 86, of Victoria, passed away June 5, 2022. She was born October 28, 1935 in Sweet Home, Texas to Joseph J. and Stazie Petru. After obtaining her GED, Magdalen entered nursing school and became a Licensed Vocational Nurse, and worked at area hospitals. She was a member of St. Mary's and Our Lady Victory's Altar Society, was a Catholic Daughter, and member of the KJZT. Upon the arrival of her daughter, Mary Jo, she quit working to stay at home with her baby girl for over a year. Magdalen then found ways to earn extra money, like creating characters for felt story telling and sewing costumes and other outfits for children involved in plays and skits at local schools. She also baked pies to sell at the Knights of Columbus meetings for several years. When her son, David, who was two years younger than Mary, started school, Magdalen began working part time at various retail stores including Hancock Fabric, Cloth World, Bianchi's Pharmacy, Lulu's, Woolworth, K-Mart, and Grandy's. Magdalen also took a cake decorating class, and worked for a catering company. Some of Magdalen's hobbies were sewing, gardening, crocheting, and fishing. She made most of her children's clothes, until they were post elementary school. She made throws, doilies, and table cloths. Magdalen loved her garden and her flower beds. She cooked and canned what she grew in the garden. Magdalen was also a Master Gardener, and also very proud of her rose bushes and Texas bluebonnets, they were her pride and joy. As far as fishing went, she was always ready to go to the lake, river, pond, bay, it didn't matter, she would catch catfish, bass, trout, perch, and redfish. She is survived by her daughter, Mary Fultz; son, David Potcinske; grandchildren, Chrystal Woods (Adam), Randy Patterson, Dixie Patterson, Ashley Potcinske, Skylar Grant, Deven Potcinske, and Maven Potcinske; and great-grandchildren, Realynn Donaho, Hannah Woods, Lailah Woods, Madilyn Woods, Adasyn Woods, Emily Galbraith, Sunday Patterson, Randy J.W.
