Josie Ann Kristek

Josie was born on November 6, 1927 in Ammannsville, TX to Willie and Marcella Tumis. On October 2, 1950 she married Daniel George Kristek.

In 1957, Josie and Daniel left the family farm near Ammannsville and moved to Houston. In 1992, Josie and Daniel moved to Katy to be closer to their grandchildren.

Josie lived for God and her family; she was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. “Grandma” will always be remembered as a sweet, kind, and generous person, who always put the needs of others before her own. Grandma will truly be missed by all of us.
