They shared 66 years together, living mostly in Ellis and Henderson counties. She was a homemaker, loved her gardening and had the prettiest garden around, with lots of flowers. She loved every kind of flower. Mrs. Starek also loved fishing. If anyone mentioned fishing, she was ready to go. She holds the record in the family for catching the biggest fish at 87 years old, a 55 pound yellow cat, caught in the pond by her home. She loved to cook and her kitchen always smelled of fresh yeast rolls, donuts and cinnamon rolls. She enjoyed having friends stop by, always offering them a sweet roll or something. She will be missed by all. Her husband, Frank, preceded her in death in 1993. Brothers, Paul and Pete Balajka; sisters, Mary Bistricky and Emily Stanek; and two granddaughters, Linda Kay Starek Thompson and Rhonda Starek, also preceded her.
