| 1651 | Obituary: Grace Anders Skrivanek March 23, 1916 ~ November 13, 2010 Grace Anders Skrivanek, 94, of Caldwell (the greater Cooks Point Community), passed away Saturday, November 13, 2010 in Bryan, Texas. Graveside services are set for Tuesday, November 16, 2010, at 11:00 a.m., at the New Tabor Brethren Church Cemetery, under the care and direction of Strickland Funeral Home of Caldwell. Visitation will be from 2:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Monday, November 15, 2010, with the family present from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. She was born March 23, 1916, in San Antonio, Texas to Noah Anders and Hattie (Montour) Anders. She grew up in Texas and Alabama, graduating from high school in Houston. She graduated from Southwest Texas State Teachers College in San Marcos. She began her career as an elementary teacher in East Bernard, and continued in Rosenberg, College Station and Bryan, where she retired after 32 years. She met her husband, Joseph John Skrivanek, Jr. when he was a high school band director. He was High School Principal at A&M Consolidated High School in College Station, junior high band director in Bryan, and later retired from the Modern Language Department at Texas A&M University. Their over 50 year marriage ended with his death in 1991. One of her greatest joys was seeing the children she taught realize their potential. She said she sometimes got the "problem" students. When she asked the principal why, he said they belong with the "problem" teacher. This meant her way of relating to each child, in thinking outside the box before that term became popular, allowed her to reach the children she did. Seeing them become successful adults was truly a joy to her. She had a great love for music. She played the piano and occasionally helped out various churches and organizations. She was active in community affairs and organizations. One was the Czech Education Foundation of Texas. Founded by her husband, his twin brother and others, it has created and funded academic chairs at Texas A&M, the University of Texas and North Texas which represent nearly $4 million. She was honored to have been the first woman president of this statewide organization. Another highlight was her selection as Queen of the annual Kolache Festival in Caldwell. A widow at the time, her selection was the first time an individual and not a couple was honored at this popular event. Her hobbies included reading, traveling to Europe, enjoying country living on the cattle ranch, plus her cat "Pootie", enjoying her granddaughters and her great grandson and extended family. She was a longtime member of the A&M United Methodist Church in College Station, the Eastern Star and Retired Teachers Association. Her parents preceded her in death as well as her husband, one son-Thomas Anders Skrivanek, additionally, her sister; Billie B. Kirchner, seven brothers-in-law, three sisters-in-law, two nephews and one niece. She is survived by her son Joseph John Skrivanek, III (Joey) and his wife, Susan, granddaughters, Sarah Cadan and husband Craig and great grandson Dillan and Anne Mashek and husband Chris. She is also survived by sisters-in-law; Faustine Skrivanek of Ennis and Jodie Skrivanek of Bryan, plus numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. On behalf of her family, we deeply appreciate the care of St. Joseph Hospital, The Manor and Christus Dubuis-acute care doctors, nurses and staff for the true caring and expressions of concern. You all made her last days so much more comfortable. She was fortunate to live life to the fullest until her hospitalization. She knew her doctors and nurses and shared such a good relationship with each of you. Many have referred to her as "Amazing Grace". This is not a title she liked-it embarrassed her and even caused her to not want the song to be a part of any service. But, the phrase truly fit her. Her passion for life, the continued search for learning-reading, travel, of making lives better of being so mentally active at her age and so much more. Her life was truly an amazing story-a part of the American Dream. Her family thanks all who were a part of her life! The family suggests memorials be made to the Czech Education Foundation of Texas at: Attn: Paul Hlavinka, 2044 Bissonnet, Houston, Texas 77005, or the Cooks Point Community Center, FM 1362 S., Caldwell, Texas 77836.

| 1682 | Obituary: Gwenda Joyce Aldridge January 10, 1948 - September 12, 2022 Gwenda Joyce Aldridge was born to Lloyd and Joyce Harrison on January 10, 1948 in Odessa, Texas. She graduated from Odessa High School in 1966. She began her career with Southwestern Bell in 1970, where she retired in 2000 after 30 years of service. Gwenda married James Dwayne Aldridge in 1972 and together they had three children: Larry Ray Aldridge, Tiffany Leigh Aldridge, and Amber Christine Aldridge. In 1995, Gwenda added a most precious member to the family when she adopted Taylor Lea Aldridge. Gwenda spent her life being a mother to all who knew her. While raising her four kids, she saw a countless number of young people come through her door distraught, scared, or in trouble. Each time, she welcomed them with an open heart and words of wisdom. She was stern yet loving. Once she loved you, she always loved you. She was not always gentle with her words, but she was always honest and generally knew what was best even if it was hard to hear. Gwenda taught her children the importance and value of work ethic and she lead by example. She worked hard to provide for her family after the sudden loss of their father while the children were still young. She did not complain and did not seek help from others. She simply made things happen. This is who she was. Gwenda made sure that her kids were raised to be self-sufficient and taught them everything from how to boil an egg to how to properly use a screwdriver, and that sometimes a butterknife doubles as one just fine! Gwenda was a fierce protector and supporter of the underdog and found happiness in helping others. Even in her times of personal struggle, she would often fret about those in need. She could regularly be seen giving food to strangers or inviting people to share what ever she had, no matter how small. This was also true with animals. With great resistance from her children, she insisted on having various pets over the years. The more trouble the pet was, the better. She sure loved a challenge! She also loved playing phase 10, but Phase 10 with Gwenda required total commitment because she planned each move strategically, giving the other players time to nap or even enjoy a meal as long as they didn't leave the table! She was serious about winning with no regard to the time it took. Gwenda loved to laugh. If she laughed at your expense, it was because you were loved. She had a way about her that could turn almost any situation into a laughing matter. It was her sense of humor that got her through the rough parts of life, and It was her sense of humor that made her easy to talk to and easy to trust. It will no doubt make her easy to miss. Gwenda loved with her whole heart and was always able to see the good in those around her, even when they had trouble seeing it in themselves. She set an example for her children by loving people as they were. Gwenda will never be forgotten and has left a hole in the hearts of those who love her. Her children will miss her laugh, her hugs, her heart, her advice, and the love that only a mother can give. While there is immense pain in her absence, There is comfort in knowing that what she left behind can never compare to the glorious Kingdom of Heaven where she is now spending eternity. "If I know what love is, it is because of you" She is preceded in death by her parents, Lloyd and Joyce Harrison, her grandparents, Bama and Grandpa Lancaster, her son, Larry "Chip" Aldridge, and her son in law, Guy Farley. She is survived by her daughter and son in law, Tiffany and Paul Fioroni; daughter, Amber Farley; daughter and son in law Taylor and Hunter Skelton, granddaughters Kyleigh Fioroni, Kymber Farley and MaKayla Farley; grandsons Pierce Fioroni and Quinn Skelton; and great grandson Baylor Prescott. Funeral services will be held Monday, September 19, 2022 at 10 AM with Pastor Roy Smith officiating. Burial will follow at Sunset Memorial Gardens.
