Evelyn Cecilia Gurecky

Evelyn Cecilia Kuhn Gurecky passed away on July 21, 2026 after a brief illness. She was 89 years old. Evelyn was born September 3, 1936 to Bernice and Leo Kuhn in Colorado County, Texas. She grew up helping on the family farm and graduated from Columbus High School. She went to work at the Columbus Bank. She soon met Leonard, the man who would become the love of her life, at a dance in Fairchilds. They married in September 1957 and Leonard was soon drafted and they moved to Fort Bragg, North Carolina where Evelyn again found work at a bank. Upon returning to Texas, they made their home in Rosenberg and Evelyn settled into being a loving mother and homemaker. During this time, she attended and volunteered for many of her children’s extracurricular activities. Later, she became a school bus driver for Lamar CISD. Evelyn was a longtime parishioner of Holy Rosary Catholic Church and volunteered in the office while her children attended Holy Rosary Catholic School. She was an active member of Catholic Daughters and Holy Rosary Altar Society. She held a strong faith in God and believed in the power of the Rosary. Evelyn enjoyed activities like gardening, cooking and dancing. She was an excellent seamstress - making many costumes, formal dresses and matching mother/daughter outfits. Her passion was her garden. It was legendary supplying her children even after they left home with numerous fresh vegetables upon their visits. Her yard was impressive too, earning her Yard of the Month. She truly had a green thumb and loved to see things grow. Evelyn was preceded in death by her parents, Leo and Bernice Kuhn, her husband, Leonard Gurecky and her brother, Anthony Kuhn. Survivors include her sister, Emily Hegemeyer, her brothers, Marvin and Leon Kuhn, and her children, Deborah Patlovany (husband David) and Chris Gurecky, grandchildren, Alexander, Nicholas (wife Felicia), Marissa, Selena, and Nathan.
