Margaret Louise Horak
10/17/1926 - 3/21/2015
Margaret Louise Horak (lovingly remembered as Sister Margaret) left this life on March 21, 2015 to join family members and friends in her long awaited new home. Margaret was 88 years old. She was preceded in death by her parents, Clarence and Pearl Hudson; husband, Charlie Horak, sister, Faye Durham and brothers, Paul Dean and H.C. Hudson, and her son-in-law, Norman Breshears. She is survived by her daughter, Sharon Breshears of Humble, son, Paul Horak of Lake Jackson, sister, Alma Waggoner and husband, Del, grandchildren, Jeffrey Breshears, Shane Horak and Andrew Maxwell as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
Margaret was born in Cushing, Oklahoma, October 17, 1926. She graduated from High School in Crosby, Texas where she was a cheer leader. With her Mother, she worked early on as a telephone operator. By far, however, the central focus of her life was sharing the gospel with others and ministering to their needs of whatever nature they might be. With her husband of more than sixty years, Margaret served throughout Brazoria county in the ministries of pastoral care and counseling, teaching, preaching and prayer. Her willingness and grace in initiating ministry expressions, sometimes in the most unexpected venues or unusual circumstances, explains why even in her advanced years many individuals and families still express their appreciation for her contributions to them.
Margaret's family will remember her readiness to laugh, her love for music and her insistence on helping whenever a need arose. She provided a home for her mother when she became ill and for her younger sister, Alma, when their Mother died and again for their Father in the later years of his life.
The family wishes to express their appreciation to the staff of Woodlake Nursing Center and IPH Hospice Care. They also express heart felt thanks to lifelong friends who always remembered her, Betty Asiala, Betty and Nelson Bascom, Sharlene Royalty and Connie and Sam Shandley as well as to her church family, Family Life Church.
Friends are invited to join the family to celebrate the life of Margaret in a time of visitation and viewing at Family Life Church, 220 Lake Road, Lake Jackson at 9:30am on Tuesday, March 24, with the funeral service immediately following at 11:00am. Services will be officiated by Pastor Craig Taylor of Family Life Church. Interment will be at Brazoria Cemetery in Brazoria, Texas.
Final arrangements are being done by the Turner Family at the Lakewood Funeral Chapel, (979)297-6464. Online condolences may be made to the family at www.lakewoodfuneralchapel.com and all flowers to be sent to Family Life Church.
