Cernoch, Agnes Louise (Janecka)
Agnes Cernoch Services Held On July 30
Agnes Louise Cernoch was born March 1, 1921, to Bessie Cernosek Janecka and Emil Janecka in Holman.
During the next 10 years, 2 more girls and 2 more boys were born. When Agnes was about 1, their Dad became very ill and died. This left a young widow with five 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 loved her grandbabies and they spent a lot of time with her and Dad. When the great grandkids came around, she took care of them, too. She loved to cook and bake. Meringue cookies and icebox cookies were her specialty.
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, and went to live at Regency Nursing Home in Schulenburg in May of 2008.
She lost the love of her life in September of 2008.
Agnes loved the Regency and lived a wonderful life with fellow residents and a loving staff. She had never been a social person as far as playing dominos, bingo, cards, etc. She got her first taste of it at Regency and rarely missed a game.
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, and watched us fail. She cheered us on, kept us strong. She put up with our mood swings, told us everything will be O.K. when things got tough. She has kept us sane, loved us more.
Jesus called Agnes home in the early morning of July 28.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, and two brothers.
She is survived by daughter Carol Braden and husband, Donald, two sisters, Bessie Johnson and husband John, of Bay City and Dorothy Tykal and husband, Gene, of Hallettsville, and one sister-in-law, Mary Ann Janecka of Weimar, three grandchildren, Diana Smith, Phyllis Wavra and husband Merle, Michael Braden and wife, Amanda and 11 great grandchildren, Meagan, Casey, and Allison Smith, Peyton Maichetti, Brandon, Madison and Logan Wavra, and Ben, Kade, Cody and Trace Braden.
Mass by Reverend Dan Kahlich was held Saturday, July 30 at St. Anthony Catholic Church in Columbus at 1 p.m. Burial was in St. Anthony Cemetery.
Pallbearers were Michael Braden, Ben Braden, Kade Braden, Brandon Wavra, Merle Wavra, Stephen Moore and Glen Knigge.
