Frances Sebesta Obituary

Frances Ann (Macik) Sebesta, 89, of Snook, Texas passed away on September 29, 2024. She was born in Snook, Texas to John Macik and Herminia “Minnie” (Hubenak) Macik on February 3, 1935.

Frances lived her whole life in Snook where she met and married the love of her life Robert Edwin Sebesta. They had 3 children, Waldo Earl, Shirley Ann, and Robert Edwin, Jr. “Bobby”.

Frances loved to shop with her daughter and sisters, she never found a garage sale she didn’t like. Many Saturday mornings were spent with Shirley getting deals all over town. When she was able, she used to go on bus trips with some of her sisters. She loved seeing new places, but only by ground, never would she get on a plane or ship! Frances loved to cook and bake, her m&m cookies and dumpling soup were always in high demand, ensuring that no one ever went hungry in her presence. Her “job” here on this earth was to work hard on her homestead (especially taking care of her chickens) and to take care of children. Her door was revolving, and everyone was always welcome. She was known as grandma to all, not just to her own grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Frances loved the Lord, and you could find her almost every Sunday at Hope Evangelical Free Church. She was a member from the beginning and was involved in the Women’s ministry. She always loved taking extra food for potlucks or special events, because there might not be enough for everyone. Frances was also involved in the Snook Extension Education Association (Snook EEA) for many years, donating her time and of course the delicious dishes she prepared.

She is preceded in death by her parents, her husband Robert, her beloved daughter Shirley Sebesta and her siblings Willy Macik, Franklin Macik, Johnny Macik, Rudolph Macik, Elsie Ricicar and Sadie Sebesta.

She is survived by her sons Waldo Sebesta (Linda) and Robert “Bobby” Sebesta, Jr. (Brandy), brother, Leo Macik (Inez), sisters Loretta Nedbalek, and Billie Jean Horcica (Hubert). She is also survived by grandchildren John Sebesta (Rachel), Robert “Bubba” Sebesta (Melissa), Kasey Brown (Clayton), Kerrianne Ferrero (Denny), Kelly Rodden (Randy), and Justin Tarver, her great grandchildren Courtney Sebesta, Emma Sebesta, Jake Sebesta, Katie Sebesta, Robert Arlt, Jakob Arlt, Colton Sebesta, Weston Ferrero, Cody Brown, Sadie Brown, and Dominik Thomas, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Serving as pallbearers are John Sebesta, Robert (Bubba) Sebesta, Justin Tarver, Ronnie Horcica, James Prihoda and Clayton Brown.

Honorary pallbearers are Richard “Crick” Sebesta, Hagan Sebesta and Denny Ferrero.

The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to the caregivers at Copperas Hollow Nursing and Rehabilitation, Caldwell, Texas for taking such care of her over the past few years with the same love and compassion that we ourselves would have. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Hope Evangelical Free Church, College Station, Texas.
