Margaret Wollny, 94, of Yorktown, Texas, passed away peacefully on December 15, 2025. She was born on June 12, 1931, in Westhoff, DeWitt County, Texas, to Raymond and Frances Warzecha.
Margaret was a devoted wife, loving mother, cherished grandmother, and proud great-grandmother. She found her greatest joy in caring for her family and creating a warm, welcoming home. Margaret loved life on the farm, where she worked alongside her husband, caring for cattle, chickens, and other farm animals. She also enjoyed sewing, cooking, playing dominos and listening to polka music with her beloved husband, Gussie. Nothing brought her more happiness than spending time playing with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Margaret married August “Gussie” Wollny on June 14, 1950, at Holy Cross Catholic Church in Yorktown, Texas. She was a devoted homemaker who lovingly supported her husband in their farming life. In addition, Margaret worked at Blaschke Lumber Company and volunteered her time helping with Senior Citizens Luncheons in the community.
She is survived by her daughters, Carolyn (Mike) Mueller of San Antonio, Texas, and Geri (Phil) Schroeder of Victoria, Texas; her grandchildren, Mandy (Jeremy) Renfro, Brandy (Steven) Nunn, Aleece (Brad) Fortenberry, and Jory (Adam) Achttien; and her great-grandchildren, Shelby Renfro, Blake Nunn, Jaxon Nunn, Hewitt Achttien, Henly Achttien, Hudson Achttien, and Garrison Fortenberry. Margaret is also survived by her sister, Barbara (Bobby) Baca; her brother, Marvin (Virginia) Warzecha; and her sister-in-law, Sallie Warzecha.
