Maedgen, Cynthia (McDaniel) (1948-2013)
Maiden Name: McDaniel [Family] Father: R.T. “Pete” McDanie, Mother: Georgia, Spouse: Will Dickey & George Glover & Bryan Maedgen () [COD] Breast cancer
Bellville Times
Cynthia Maedgen lost her long battle with breast cancer on Wednesday, May 1, and the first thing she would say would be “Now, don't anyone fuss about me.†Family and friends will refuse to listen, of course, because they know Cynthia always put the interests of others ahead of her own. A heartfelt recognition of this remarkable woman was Saturday, May 4, at 2-30 p.m. at Chapelwood United Methodist Church (11140 Greenbay) in Houston. In lieu of anything dark and dreary, the family asks that light and cheerful clothing rule the day to honor the brilliance of a woman who illuminated all who knew her.
Cynthia was born in San Angelo and she would not hesitate to cite the year- 1948. Her salt-of-the-earth upbringing by parents Georgia and R.T. “Pete†McDaniel forged the foundation for her entire life and her relationship with her savior Jesus Christ. She successfully conveyed her deep values and love of life to three children of her own- Robin Dickey age 41, Courtney Burlison age 37 and Meredith Valach age 23, devoting herself to raising them before becoming a valued member of Reynolds Media Services. Proud to see Courtney married in 1998, Cynthia gained a new smile from Meredith's glorious wedding at Horseshoe Bay, Texas only a few weeks ago. Another instant smile formed when Robin shared his plan to marry Tiffany Roach, appropriately on Mother's Day Weekend later this month.
Diagnosed with breast cancer in 2001, Cynthia shrugged off significant health issues as mere inconveniences, never allowing them to slow her pace or define her world. After her 24-year marriage to Will Dickey, the father of her children, she started a new chapter of her life - and met and fell in love with George Glover, whom she married in 1997. Cynthia was a rock for George when doctors had no answers, and he was taken too quickly from her in 2000. Cynthia found an enduring peace in the loving arms of Bryan Maedgen, whom she married in 2005, and in the quiet hill country farm she and Bryan created together.
Survivors include husband Bryan Maedgen and her mother Georgia McDaniel; daughter Courtney, husband Scott and granddaughters Mary Ella, Addy Scott, and Molly Kate; daughter Meredith and husband Christopher- son Robin and fiancé Tiffany; stepson Russell, wife Jennifer and grandchildren Patrick, Jack and Ella; stepson Ward, wife Merideth and grandchildren Mack, Hud and Tess; two sisters Kathie, husband Kent and Stevie, husband Randy along with numerous nieces and nephews. Her beloved daddy R. T. “Pete†McDaniel passed away in 2011, and Cynthia previously bid farewells to relatives who included Mary Eleanor and Robert K Henderson.
Close your eyes, and listen to Cynthia's laughter - a sound that will brighten all days to come.
In lieu of flowers, her family asks that a donation be made in her honor to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Funeral arrangements are entrusted to Memorial Oaks Chapel, 1306 W. Main St., Brenham. To post a tribute to the family, visit www.memorialoakschapel.com.

Magjarevich, Daniel (1937-2013)
[Family] Father: Anton Lovriæ / George Magjarevich, Mother: Mary Pezer, Spouse: Gladys Marie Herzik [Cemetery] Sealy Cemetery () , FG
Daniel Magjarevich passed away peacefully on April 2, 2013, at 5-35pm at the age of 76 years of age, in Katy, Texas. He was a devoted and loving husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle and friend to many.
Daniel, also known as "Big Dan", was born on January 30, 1937 in Goricé, Bonsia, formerly part of the country of Yugoslavia. He was the fourth child of Mary Pezar Lovriæ and Anton Lovriæ (pronounced, "Lovrich"). Daniel's birth name was Zdenko Lovriæ. His birth father died a few months later in 1937 when Daniel was only 7 or 8 months old. About a year later, Mary married again to Juro Maðaroviæ, whose name was later Americanized to "George Magjarevich". George accepted and adopted Daniel and sisters Lucie and Annie as his own children. They called him Tata, which is Croatian for "Daddy".
In 1944, while George was away serving in the Yugoslavian Navy as a baker, Mary had to leave with her children aboard a train to Austria in the middle of the night in order to flee the approaching enemy forces, never to see her home, property or country ever again; Daniel was 7 years old. The family lived in refugee camps in Austria for five years. During that time, George searched from camp to camp in Austria until at last, he located his family. Later, they then traveled through Germany to board the ship, USS General M. B. Steward, bound for the land of America in 1949. The family was processed through Ellis Island in New York and later arrived in New Orleans, Louisiana on November 16, 1949. They then traveled to Fayette County and settled in Schulenburg, Texas.
Daniel attended school at the St. Rose of Lima Catholic School in Schulenburg. He managed a gasoline service station for a while. In about 1958 or 1959, while working as a cook at Rudy's Café in nearby Weimar, he met his future wife, Gladys Herzik, where she was also working as a waitress. They later married on December 21, 1963 at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Schulenburg. They then lived in San Antonio for six years and had three sons, Richard, Michael and Mark, before moving to Sealy in 1969 where they lived out the rest of their lives together. In 1969 he went to work for Schindler Bros. Steel Mill in Sealy, which later became Hurricane Industries. He was a welder and mechanic, repairing machinery and then fabricating needed parts when they replacements were not available. In the 1980s, he went to work for King Construction in Wallis, performing welding and maintenance on equipment. He worked 60-hour weeks in the heat of the steel mill and in the heat of Texas for years to ensure that his wife and children would never have to go without. He was very proud of his family.
In the mid-1980's, Daniel began to have heart problems. The Dr. told him he had to retire from working, slow down and take it easy. He slowed down a little, but not much. He still worked part-time on jobs and in the yard and garden. He was an independent man and wanted to do as much as he could himself, and he did just that for the next 27 years.
Daniel's favorite activity was playing dominoes. He played dominoes with friends at My Place Pool Hall and Saloon in Downtown Sealy many times a week for years. He played the game for many years in towns around Texas and even in other states on occasion. He frequently competed in The Texas State Tournament, many years placing among the best in the state and bringing trophies home. In 1997, he was inducted into the Texas State Championship Straight Domino Tournament Hall of Fame in Hallettsville.
Daniel enjoyed building things out of nothing. He could take other people's junk or scrap and make something useful out of it. He made several BBQ pits out of commercial dryer drums. He made picnic tables out car leaf-springs, which looked so nice that a person would not know what it was made out of unless they were told. He made a two-seater go-cart for his boys from scrap. He made a large plant-stand which moved around in a circle like a merry-go-round for hanging plants for his wife and also another large plant-stand for her which was like a Ferris wheel that had a hand-crank to rotate it.
Daniel also was an avid vegetable gardener, planting a large garden each spring and fall, growing potatoes, tomatoes, okra, green beans, squash, onions, shallots, radishes, and turnips, among many other vegetables as well. He loved his wife's cooking and her canned goods especially pickled green tomatoes and pickled cabbage (different than sauerkraut). He made home-made wine for a few years. He helped her make sauerkraut in crock pots and sour-brine pickles in gallon jars on the porch. He loved to eat pickled pig's feet that Gladys would put up for him. He was also an avid reader. He was always reading one or more books at once. He enjoyed Tom Clancy and John Grisham books. He enjoyed John Wayne movies and also enjoyed watching any show concerning World War II history, as his lived part of his life through the war in Europe.
Daniel helped raise their grandson, Jonathan. He enjoyed his family and enjoyed going to family reunions. He devoted his whole life to his family was and he loved them. He lovingly and devotedly looked after Gladys, especially in the last few years of her life when she was having back problems and illness. After his wife passed away five years ago, he missed her terribly. They had been married 44 years when she passed away. He continued to live at his home and to be active, working in the yard and garden, taking up canning, making pies, Bar-B-Qing and cooking dishes such as stuffed cabbage, one of his favorites.
A funeral service was held April 06, 2013 at Knesek Funeral Chapel in Sealy. Burial followed in the Sealy City Cemetery on Main Street.

Daniel has two half-sisters from his Dad, George's first marriage, named Slavica and Vikica. Slavica lived in Los Angeles, CA until the mid 1990's at which time she moved to Austria where Vikica was living.

Tony and his family moved to Bellville in 1980. He loved the country life! He enjoyed working with his cows, working on projects, and piddling in his shop. He volunteered with Bellville Little League and proudly coached his son and other young men. He enjoyed watching his children and grandchildren play sports and even traveled as far as Cooperstown, NY to watch them play.

Majewski, Jerome Lee "Jerry" (1941-2024)
Nickname: Jerry [Veteran] SFC, US Army [Family] Father: Frank Majewski, Mother: Albina ()
Jerome "Jerry" Lee Majewski was born on January 20th, 1941, to Frank and Albina Majewski of Davison, Michigan. Jerry spent his childhood in Muskegon, Michigan with his parents, brothers (Ronald and Richard), and sisters (Nancy and Donna Jean).
Jerry enlisted in the United States Army, and for the next two decades, he traveled the world, serving at bases in Japan, Germany, Iran, Ethiopia, Greece, and throughout the United States. He was a hero who served his country with great pride and built a family who would grow up hearing all of his stories. He was definitely a top-notch storyteller! He had a way of keeping you on the edge of your seat with the tales of his adventures in the Army. He could keep you rolling in laughter because he always found humor, even in the most mundane of life's circumstances. Just as importantly, he was a good listener. He was patient, kind, and always had the right thing to say - whether it be warm words of praise or encouragement or the tough truths without any sugar coating.
In April of 1980, after more than 20 years of service as an NCO and having attained the rank of Sergeant First Class, Jerry retired from the U.S. Army at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas. He pursued his passion for photography all across the Great State of Texas, capturing everything from family portraits to wildlife shots, the big Texas skies, and even headshots for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. His work was published in The San Antonio Times, Canyon Lake Country Sun, Texas Hill Country View, and many more. He eventually went on to open his own photo lab and studio in Taos, New Mexico in 1989. As much as he enjoyed life in the high desert, he closed up shop and moved back to Texas to be closer to family in 2000. He worked for another few years as a photographer for Lifetouch where he traveled around the Houston area taking portraits before he fully retired in 2007.
In his retirement, Jerry had a passionate love affair with fishing, his photography, and strawberry Jell-O cake. He also enjoyed woodworking, particularly making birdhouses for all of his feathered friends. He always looked forward to family game nights - especially those where he absolutely crushed the entire family at Trivial Pursuit. His more recent hobbies included watching TV at full volume with a glass of bourbon in hand and flirting with his nurses.
Jerry passed away on April 30th, at the age of 83. He is survived by his sister, Donna Jean; children, Tammy, Kim, Jeff (Rachel), and Robin (Jon); grandchildren, Corrie, Alex, Keirstin, Paige, Jon, Elena, Viviana, Sarah, Loryn, Kylie, and Tabitha; sixteen great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. Jerry was predeceased by his parents, Frank and Albina; brothers, Ronald and Richard; sister, Nancy; and daughter, Debbi.
All of these wonderful things are just a fraction of who Jerry was. There are a million more special, simple moments that made up his extraordinary life. He is dearly missed.
Family and friends are invited to join us for a memorial service to celebrate Jerry's life and legacy at 11 am on Saturday, May 18th, 2024 at First United Methodist Church, 200 Atchison Street, Sealy, Texas.
It was Jerry's wish that any memorial tributes be made in the form of charitable donations to The Wounded Warrior Project.
Maler, Don Ted (1953-2023)
[Family] Father: Ted Maler, Mother: Bernice Trettin, Spouse: Brigitte Braentner ()
Don Ted Maler was a loving father, husband, step-grandfather, son, brother, and friend to the Waller County community. He left this world unexpectedly on February 19, 2023, at 69 years & 10 months of age. Don will be deeply missed.
Don was born to Ted and Bernice (Trettin) Maler on April 29, 1953, in Sealy, TX. A graduate of Royal High School, in his youth, Don played tennis & basketball and was active in the Fighting Falcon band as a percussionist. He was also a true lover of the arts, both a poet and a performer. Post-graduation, Don became a registered public land surveyor (RPLS) for the state of Texas. He had a prolific decade-long career for the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT). Later, he successfully formed his own surveying company to better serve his local community. In his work, Don advocated for and advised the local underdog; he used his land expertise to go ‘above and beyond' for anyone he encountered. Don continued working tirelessly as an RPLS his entire life, serving Waller, Ft. Bend, and Harris counties until his untimely passing.
Don adored spending time with his dogs while grilling for his family; his 'top secret' marinades were legendary. He was intensely connected to nature and most at peace when working outdoors, especially on his farm. Don was also a skilled fisherman and fly-tier, a talented drummer and classic rock enthusiast, a nostalgic storyteller, and an old-time Western film buff. Don was deeply committed to protecting and providing for his family; he was trustworthy, steadfast, and hardworking.
Yet, beyond loving his farm and survey work, Don had a sensitive and humorous side to his personality that only those closest to him throughout his life had the privilege of knowing and loving. Don taught his daughters to love and respect the Earth and further, to always value knowledge above all other material possessions. Those who were lucky enough to purposely get lost with Don when he 'took a tipsy' on a backcountry road know what a contemplative thinker he was. Don's warm presence—in a colorful Hawaiian-print shirt with a prank up his sleeve—can never be forgotten by those who truly loved him.
Don is survived by his former wife of 45 years, Brigitte (Braentner) Maler; daughter- Amber Nicolette Maler; step-daughter- Ginger Pardo; former mother-in-law- Margot Braentner; sister- Seleta Maler; brother- Gary Maler; step-grandchildren- Kaylie Brown, Alyssa Morris, Daryl Morris, Devon Morris.
