OBITUARY
Victoria
Marie Dobecka
APRIL 3, 1930 – AUGUST 20, 2020
Our mother, Victoria Marie Cervenka was born April 3, 1930 to John and
Frances Cervenka. Her parents were immigrants from Czechoslovakia. She
was one of nine children. Her father and family farmed their land. They
were a hardworking family with ernest work ethic. They had a deep faith
of the Lord and were devout Catholics. After moving from a couple of
different Czech communities in Texas they settled in Carrolton, TX.
Vickie went to school there and worked at Rainbow Pharmacy, a soda bar,
and drug store in Carrollton during her high school days. There she met
her future husband Johnny Dobecka, Sr.
who had come home from the service. She was hoping she would meet a
brave soldier; a man of faith and Johnny was everything she dreamed of.
They married November 11, 1946 with family and relatives helping to
celebrate their special day. Through the years they were blessed with
six children, 3 boys and 3 girls. Johnny Jr., Vickie Lynn, Patty, jimmy,
Mark and Kim. Our mom was always there for us. She was a Girl Scout
Leader, PTA president, Mary Immaculate Woman’s Aux., member of the
church choir, and Friends of the Library member. She gave time to her
community working election polls and hosted Senior Citizens, B-B-Q at
their home. She also hosted many family gatherings in their home, too
numerous to count. Her door was always open and you had to eat something
before you left! If we could describe our mom in one sentence, it would
be, “She was the most giving person we ever knew!” With the Lord’s help
we will recover from our loss of her. We will be wounded healers,
bearing not only scars of grief, but blessings of having mourned. For
there is a passage that says, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they
shall be comforted.” ~ Matthew 5:4 The children of Vickie Dobecka thank
you for all of your condolences. |
