Preibisch, Emily Alice (Pulos) (1917-2022)
Maiden Name: Pulos [Veteran] WW2, ENS, US Navy, Nurse Corps [Family] Father: Alex Pulos, Mother: Josephine Silva, Spouse: Melvin Adolphus Preibisch [Cemetery] Sealy Cemetery () , FG
Emily Pulos Preibisch passed away at Colonial Living and Rehabilitation Nursing Home in Sealy, Texas on July 29, 2022 at the age of 104. Emily was born on November 26, 1917 in Brockton, MA to Alex and Josephine (Silva) Pulos. She graduated from Carny Hospital School of Nursing in Boston, MA in 1940. Upon graduation, Emily was hired to supervise a surgical floor at the same hospital. After one year, she was hired as Operation Nurse for Cory Hill Hospital with Lahey Clinic surgeons.
In 1942, when her only sibling, Arthur Pulos, was drafted into the U. S. Army, Emily enlisted as an Ensign in the Navy Nurse Corp. Her concern was that there would not be enough nurses to treat the wounded. She was first stationed at Chelsea Naval Hospital in Boston, MA. The hospital received wounded military personnel brought in by ship. In 1943, she was transferred to Norfolk Naval Training Station in Norfolk, VA. It was at the Norfolk Training Station that she met her future husband, Melvin Preibisch, a Chief Specialist in charge of training new recruits.
Melvin and Emily were married on September 30, 1944. Navy rules did not allow Navy nurses to serve after they were married. Emily resigned from the Navy, and in 1945, Emily and Melvin moved to Sealy, TX, her husband's hometown. The unlighted dirt streets were a stark contrast to the bustling life of Boston, and she questioned her decision to leave Boston. However, during the first week in Sealy, Emily was hired to take charge of a 13-bed hospital run by Dr. W. Hover and Dr. V. Gordon. She resigned after one year due to pregnancy.
On November 11, 1946, daughter Martha Marie was born. Martha Marie passed away four months later on March 13, 1947 due to spina bifida. Two years later, daughter Donna was born. During the next 18 years, Emily was the best stay-at-home mom for her husband and Donna. Emily kept an immaculate home, and a weekday noon meal was prepared for Melvin and Donna. Melvin came home from the family furniture store, and Donna walked home across a vacant lot from the Catholic school. Emily was always willing to help the nuns that were assigned to Sealy's Catholic church and school. She was a member of the PTA and, as Health Chairman, coordinated the Catholic school's health days. When Donna entered Sealy Public School in the 8th grade, Emily became a chauffeur for band and basketball extracurricular activities. You could always count on Emily being at the bus stop at night after band and basketball road trips. The Main Street home always welcomed Donna's friends.
In 1968, Emily returned to work as a Director of Nurses at Azalea Manor Nursing Home in Sealy. Azalea Manor was a 35-bed facility that had increased to 95 beds when she retired in 1985. After retiring from Azalea Manor, Emily focused on Preibisch Furniture Store located on Fowlkes St. in Sealy. She eventually closed the store due to Melvin's death in 1980.
Emily was a proud member of The American Legion Post 442. She loved her country and the American Flag. Emily is a Charter Member of the Women's Memorial Foundation. The Women's Memorial is the gateway to Arlington National Cemetery. She is also a long-time member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Sealy.
Emily was preceded in death by her parents, Alex and Josephine; first daughter, Martha Marie; husband, Melvin; brother, Arthur and his wife, Barbara; and nieces, Barbara Pulos and Karen Clifford.
Emily is survived by daughter, Donna Preibisch and her special person and partner, Keith Oliver; nephews, Mark Pulos (Melanie), Stephen Pulos (Penny), Ron Pulos; niece, Doreen Lynch (Bob), and Paul Clifford. She is also survived by several great-nieces and nephews.
Emily was thankful for many things-
"God blessed me with a beautiful and precious daughter."
"God gave me a good husband. "
"Thankful for my warm and comfortable home."
"Thankful that God has blessed me with a healthy body and good mind."
"Faith in God and in His good work"
"My belief that God will guide and protect us always"
"Thankful for my friends and neighbors. "
"Thankful I can laugh and enjoy a good joke."
"Thankful for my long and interesting life."
Visitation is scheduled for Saturday, August 13, 2022, from 9-30 AM until 10-30 AM at
Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, 600 Fourth St., Sealy, Texas 77474. A funeral mass will be held at 10-30 AM.

Martha Jean Daniel Prochaska was born November 19, 1949, and passed away June 28, 2024.
Martha was born in East Bernard, Texas, and was the third child of James Clay Daniel, Sr. and Mary Ann Seydler Daniel.
Martha grew up in East Bernard where she attended East Bernard public school. She graduated from East Bernard High School as valedictorian in 1967. Additionally, she won the D.A.R. Award and served in a number of organizations, including as a Senior Officer and in the FHA, Spanish Club, Math Club, and Press Club Co-Editor. She also played first chair trumpet in the band, was a cheerleader, and was a member of the Pep Squad, Student Council, and Tennis team. She was honored to have earned several accomplishments and recognitions, including being named Band Sweetheart, a Homecoming Nominee, State FHA awardee, State Chorus Member, and achieving wins in UIL Typing, Senior Play, Stage Band, and was named both Most Dependable and Most Intelligent by her classmates. She also developed a number of deeply cherished lifelong friendships among her classmates. It was during this time that she met her future husband, Joe Prochaska.
She went on to attend college at Sam Houston State University, where she majored in math and graduated with honors in only 3 years.
After college, she married Joe Prochaska on June 27, 1970, in East Bernard. They moved to La Porte, Texas, where they both taught – Joe teaching Industrial Arts and Martha teaching High School Math.
After two years of teaching, Joe was drafted into the US Army, and she followed Joe to his station in Seoul, Korea, for just over a year, where Martha taught GED classes. They then returned to East Bernard, where, initially, Martha took time off to raise her three sons, who were the absolute delight of her life. They all went on to marry three amazing ladies whom she welcomed as beloved daughters into her family.
In 1986, Martha resumed teaching at East Bernard High School, where she taught for 27 years. During Martha’s career, she taught Geometry, Algebra 1, and Calculus, and she was a state-level UIL award-winning Number Sense coach and the cheerleading sponsor. However, she was most proud of the countless students she taught, mentored, and impacted during her career as an educator. Martha retired from teaching in 2012 after 27 wonderful years.
She joyfully welcomed five grandchildren and loved them unconditionally. She was always invested in every interest they developed and loved spending as much time with each of them as she could.
Martha had a vibrant personality and an incredible sense of humor. Her smile was infectious, and those who knew her could not help but love her. She was an avid sports fan, always supporting her Houston teams, as well as the Aggies, Bearcats, East Bernard Brahmas, and Brahmarettes. Additionally, she was a very dedicated fan of General Hospital.
Martha is preceded in death by her parents James Clay “Jimmy” Daniel, Sr. and Mary Ann Seydler Daniel, and her sister Judy Daniel Lane.

Services will be at 2 p.m., Friday, June 14, 2013, Bellville, Texas First United Methodist Church. The service will be conducted by Jack Meeker, Teaching Pastor, Cowboy Church, Brenham Texas. Matt suffered from severe Scoliosis for most of his life.
His body will be cremated and his ashes will be buried on the grave of his dearest Aunt Margie and Uncle Hubert at Spring Creek Cemetery in Avoca, Texas.
Matt was born in Lubbock, Texas and grew up in Lake Jackson, Texas, in a big house poised on the banks of Oyster Creek. As a child, he and his special boyhood pals spent 1000's of hours swimming, canoeing, fishing, in those waters. He would have to forced to come in when it got dark, and it did not matter the weather was hot, cold, pouring rain, or dry. Matt's greatest joys in life were the people and places that allowed him to spend as much time outdoors as humanly possible. He signed his letters, notes and texts with "Woods'n Water" because that was what he loved most. His vacations and week-ends were spent either fishing or hunting, or both. Matt learned to fish when just a toddler with his Aunt Margie and Uncle Hubert at Lake Stamford and the Llano River, and he eagerly awaited the many trips he would make with his family from Lake Jackson to west Texas and the Llano, year after year.
Long after the years of his youth, he continued his treks to the Llano and west Texas at every opportunity. Matt's laughs, though infrequent, were so distinctive that when you heard them, you knew they were genuine and heartfelt. Matt had a genuinely sweet and gentle nature and an unconditional love for his family and friends.
Matt graduated from Lake Jackson, Texas Brazoswood High School in 1984. He studied Air Conditioning and Electrical skills at Kilgore College, receiving his certification in 1988. He worked for the Brenham Independent School District for the last 13 years. Matt was a member of and baptized in the Cowboy Church, Brenham Texas.
Matt was preceded in death by his beloved Aunt Margie and Uncle Hubert Bell; grandmother, "Gran Betty" Grimes; grandfather, Will H. Grimes; grandparents, Glenn and Mary Ellen Purcell, of Houston; and his best, four-legged friend, Claudia, for whom he mourned the rest of his life.
He is survived by his mother, Carol Lee Poush and husband, Ken; father, Richard Purcell and wife, Nelda; sisters and brothers-in-law, Paige Price and husband, Paul, and Allyson and Tony Purcell; nephew, Rick Purcell; nieces, Carlee Purcell, Haley Heath, and Abigail Peterson; great-niece, Alleigh Heath; cousin, Cayden Hutchison; step-brothers, David Poush and Benjamin Poush; step-sisters, Kathleen Peterson, Deidra Amato and Cheri Couch; uncle and aunts, Van and Kathleen Grimes, of Ft. Worth, Gayle Hutchison, of Stamford, and Gaye Harkins, of Chappel Hill; cousins from Clyde, Texas, Ira Sue Bell, Jane and Ted Dement, and June and Ernest Park; all the Dement and Park children; and cousins, Ted Riggs and Melanie Holton.
