Mary Mrozek Obituary

Mrozek, Mary Catherine Horning  God called Mary Mrozek home on August 2, 2010, after a courageous two-years battle with cancer. Mary was born in South Bend, IN on April 25, 1939 and was adopted as an infant by Bertha and John Horning, making her the youngest of their seven children and instilling in her the values of faith and family, values by which she lived to her final days. She moved to Irving, TX in 1966 with her young family and lived there for the remainder of her life. After becoming a single parent in 1979, she fashioned a thirty-year career in the insurance industry, earning her designation as a Certified Life Underwriter. Left to cherish her memory are her children: Mark (Claire), John (Cynthia), Ann, and David (Kim), and grandchildren Sarah, Matthew, Riley, Joey, Cole, Audrey, and Ryan. She is also survived by her former husband Joseph Mrozek and her brother Donald Horning. She was an active member of the St. Luke Catholic community, and she had a special affection for her clergy friends. She will be fondly remembered and deeply missed by many. The family wishes to express its deep gratitude to all who called, visited, prayed with, fed, or assisted Mary during her difficult final weeks. A Rosary will be prayed at 5 PM, Thursday, August 5, and a Memorial Mass will be celebrated at 11 AM, Friday, August 6, with Bishop J. Douglas Deshotel and Fr. Clair Orso as principal celebrants. Both services will take place at St. Luke's Catholic Church, 202 S. MacArthur Blvd, Irving. In lieu of flowers, please consider a memorial gift to St. Luke's or to the Holy Trinity Seminary. Mary rarely met a stranger, and her empathy and kindness led her to give generously of her time and material resource, whether to friend, family member, or refugee from domestic violence. Her final act of charity was the donation of her body to the Southwestern Medical Center. "Well done, good and faithul servant; come and share in your Master's joy!"
