Linda Joyce Horecka Jurica, 73, passed away on January 19, 2023. She was born August 1, 1949, in Seguin to Benedict “Ben” Raymond Horecka and Edna Mae Stoever Horecka. Linda retired as a teacher and as the District Math Specialist for Calhoun County ISD after a total of 46 years of service and was a member of Our Lady of the Gulf Catholic Church. She had a humorous and energetic personality, was always willing to help anyone in need, and had an enormous amount of patience. She had a green thumb, was an amazing cook, and if you were fortunate enough to have received one of her pumpkin logs, you were truly special to her. Linda was a servant of God and cherished the family he gave her.
She is survived by her daughter, Tonia Hollas (Shane) and her grandchildren, Jase and Brynlee Hollas.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Thomas Wayne Jurica and her parents.
