Rose Zatopek
August 30, 1943 — December 2, 2018
She graduated from Victoria High School and was a loving mother and homemaker to her daughter, Kathy Salinas and son, Julius Zatopek, III. She was a secretary of Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church in Victoria Texas and also managed a family business. She eventually opened her own bakery and grew her business with warmth and her personal hospitality. She sold the business and moved to Corpus Christi to be near her daughter where she had a 25-year career at Michaels Arts and Crafts as a floral designer and manger of the floral department.
She served as a Brownie and Girl Scout Leader, was an active church volunteer and also sang in the church choir. She had a passion for flower gardening and plants. She loved nature and referred to nature as God's canvas. She was remarkably creative with crafts, loved children, her puppies and her cats. She was especially proud to be a grandmother and loved her grandchildren with all her heart.
Her daughter, Kathy Salinas lovingly cared for her in the last 10 years of her life in New Braunfels, TX. The final months of her life she was cared for by the wonderful staff at Sundance Inn Health Center where she made new friends who quickly grew to love her.
She was preceded in death by her parents Tomas and Francisca Abrigo, brothers Pete, Tony and Tommy Abrigo. She is survived by her two sisters, Francis and Sally Abrigo, her daughter, Kathy Salinas and her husband, Ed Salinas, her son, Julius Zatopek, III and his wife Eloise Zatopek, three grandchildren, Travis, Haley and Jake Zatopek, and three great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

We would especially like to thank our OLPH community of friends who have been extremely loving and supportive. May perpetual light shine upon her and may she rest in peace.
