Bio

Agnes Louise Cernoch was born March 1, 1921 to Bessie Cernosek Janecka and Emil Janecka in Holman Texas. During the next 10 years, 2 more girls and 2 more boys were born. When Agnes was about 12, their Dad became very ill and died. This left a young widow with 5 children. Their uncle, Fred, moved in to help. Times were hard, but they survived. She had an 8th grade education but could spell well. Agnes met Emil at a dance. Although she never learned to dance, he apparently noticed her. He had a 4th grade education with limited reading and writing skills, but he wrote her a letter asking her out on a date. She wrote him back and apparently agreed to go. It is hard to imagine with our current technology that communication was so limited. They married in 1942, and he left for the service. After sustaining a knee injury while in basic training, the army released him with an honorable discharge. A daughter, Carol Braden, was born in 1945. Agnes was very religious and when she was about 24 hours away from death, we prayed the rosary and she was silently repeating every word. Agnes and Emil left their home in Columbus, Texas and went to live at Regency Nursing Home in Schulenburg in May of 2008. She lost the love of her life September 2008. She was not a complainer. She had a constant smile. During her illness, on numerous occasions, when she was in pain, she still smiled. She made us laugh. She wiped our tears, hugged us tight, watched us succeed, watched us fail. She cheered us on, kept us strong. She put up with our mood swings, told us everything will be ok when things got tough. She has kept us sane, loved us more. Jesus called Agnes home in the early morning of July 28, 2011. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, and 2 brothers. Mass by Reverend Dan Kahlich was held Saturday, July 30, 2011 at St. Anthony Catholic Church in Columbus at 1 pm. Burial was in St. Anthony Cemetery. Source: Henneke Funeral Home, Columbus, Texas
