Fond memories from her grandkids are blessed ones. Mamoo tending her bountiful garden and always beautiful flowerbeds… the smell of homemade kolaches and rolls from her always welcoming kitchen. Her always checking on us as we stomped cotton (and played) in the cotton trailers…afternoon snacks, always at 3pm, splitting a RC cola and fresh fruit or moon pies with her and Pops…visits down into their large, musty, cool cellar that always welcomed a break from the afternoon heat and was always lined with shelves of homegrown canned goodness from her garden. Listening to Polka music in their car as we drove to SPJST meetings and Youth contests and always taking the time to Polka dance with us. Afternoon walks down the dirt roads around their farm…watching her sew new work shirts for Pops with the coolest pearl snap buttons and spending evenings in the living room, watching Wheel of Fortune and HeeHaw while they taught us how to crack and shell homegrown pecans. So many amazing and precious memories that are too numerous to count. Adolfie was a hard working, dedicated and exceptionally loving and generous “Mamoo” who spent her life running the farm, volunteering at church and the community and providing for her loved ones.

Adolfie is preceded in death by her father, Frank; her mother, Agnes; her beloved husband, Frank, Sr.; her two brothers, Adolf Petrek and Henry Petrek; her sister Mary (Petrek) Trinka; one of her grandsons, Billy Frank Simaichl; and her son in law, Edward Earl Blankenship (Mr.B).
