Rev. Dr. Robert J. Sebesta
November 16, 1931 - October 6, 2025

Rev. Dr. Robert James Sebesta died on Monday October 6, 2025 surrounded by his loving family. Robert, known as Bob by his friends and family, was 93 years old when he passed. Bob was born on November 16, 1931 in a farmhouse near Caldwell, Texas in Burleson County to Joe Frank and Julia Bravenec Sebesta.

Bob is survived by Claribel, his wife of 70 years, his son Robert J. (Rob) Sebesta, Jr. (Melinda) and their children Major James Sebesta (Sarah), Olivia Jakubowski (Tomek), and Julia Sebesta, his daughter Drs. Cheryl Banks (Bill) and their children Drs. Kristen Beaver (Jared), Austin Banks, and Dr. Emily Banks and daughter Claire Sebesta (Dr. Jackie) and their children Taylor Smith (Yesenia), Joy Smith, and Jordan McGeehon (Timo), 9 great grandchildren (and one on the way), and his brother Rev. Dr. Daniel Sebesta (Marsha).

Bob's childhood education occurred in 3 room Hlavaty Rural School, from grades 1 through 9. He graduated from Caldwell High School in 1948. While living at home, with his parents and 3 brothers, Bob attended the Czech-Moravian Brethren Church in Caldwell.

Bob graduated from Southwest Texas State Teachers College in San Marcos in 1952 and Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary in 1955. Always striving to learn and grow, Bob earned his Doctorate in Ministry from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary in 1983.

In the summer of 1952 Bob met the love of his life in Dulac Louisiana and in June of 1955 he married Claribel Joan Brown of the rural community of Raymond near Jennings, Louisiana. Starting their life together and Bob's passionate ministry career immediately after, Bob was ordained as a Presbyterian pastor at his first church in Rocksprings Texas in July of 1955.

Bob lovingly served 5 Presbyterian congregations in Texas during his 42 1/2 years of ministry: Rocksprings, Portland, Harlingen, San Marcos, and Pecos. Bob believed his wife Claribel was half of his ministry because she taught, worked with women's groups, and served in the community of all of their churches. He felt called by God to pastor small churches and enjoyed all parts of a small church's life: preacher, teacher, administrator, organizer, counselor, community relations. He especially enjoyed teaching the Bible, which he continued to do through most of his retirement.

Bob's passion for helping others extended into a strong commitment to community service. Bob actively served in leadership roles in Kiwanis and Lions Clubs in the communities where they lived. Continuing his dedication to service in retirement, he served as Board President for Habitat for Humanity and was recognized as an outstanding facilitator of Parents Helping Parents program for 14 years.

In addition to church specific activities, Bob enjoyed gardening, dancing, history, researching and writing family history, genealogy, and personal memories. He was especially passionate about music and loved singing in the church choir and attending concerts whenever possible.

Bob and Claribel loved to travel. Early in their marriage they lived in Scotland for a year where they both attended St Mary's College at the University of St Andrews. While living there, they spent the summer of 1957 touring Europe, visiting 10 different countries, covering 6188 miles in 75 days on their Lambretta motor scooter (the Blue Dart).

Through Bob's passionate faith and loving embrace of others, he touched countless lives far beyond his local church ministry. He will be greatly missed, but his legacy will continue to touch lives for years to come.

The family wishes to express deep gratitude to the wonderful staff at Seguin Assisted Living, the nurses and aids from Guadalupe Regional Hospice Services and our dear Seguin Angels for the tremendous love and care shown to Bob and Claribel over the past several years.

There will be a Celebration of Life for Bob on November 15, 2025 at 10:30 am at First Presbyterian Church Seguin with a light lunch after. The family requests that persons wishing to give memorials make contributions to First Presbyterian Church Memorial Fund, 1121 E. Walnut St., Seguin, Tx 78155 or the charity of their choice.

Rhaud Homer Brothers

R. H. Brothers, 55, died about noon Sunday at the Baylor County Hospital, where he had been a patient since Thursday of last week. It is believed that kidney poisoning may have been the occasion of his death. Since he became stricken he had not regained consciousness, nor had he made a movement of any kind.

Funeral services were held at the Church of Christ Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Conducting was Minister D. L. Ashley of Munday and Minister R. L. Ashley of Seymour. Special music was given by a quartet composed of Mr. and Mrs. B P. Franklin, Howard Studer and S. Cowner.

Bryant from Houston; Marvin Brothers and four daughters from Wichita Falls; Mr. and Mrs. Joe Beaver, W. A. Beaver and son W. A. Jr., from Burkburnett.

Mr. Brothers was born August 23, 1893 in Bell County, his parents being Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Brothers. The family came to Baylor County in 1906, settling in the Cache Creek community, and that was Rhaud's home for the greater part of his life. He was a veteran of World War I, serving in the army from August of 1917 to Jun of 1919. He was overseas a good part of this time, and served with honor in a machine gun battalion in the battles of the Meuse-Argonne campaign.

Soon after getting back home the deceased was married to Miss Ada Beaver of Cache Creek, and for a number of years they made their home on the farm. During the past several years Mr. Brothers had not been in good heath, and spent part of his time in the Veteran's Hospital at Amarillo. For the past 18 months he had been confined to his bed.

Surviving are his wife and four children as follows: Miss Lucille Brothers, who is a nurse at the hospital here; Robert, who is at home; Mrs. Doris Holt, who lives at Fort Worth; and Mrs. Orvey Priddy of Seymour. Mrs. Holt and family came when her father became seriously ill.

Also surviving are the following brothers and sisters: Sam, Buford and Bernie Brothers, all of Seymour; Mrs. T. R. Nix of Seymour, Marvin Brothers of Wichita Falls and Mrs. J. B. Bryant of Seagraves.

Mr. Brothers was a member of the Church of Christ, and took an active part in the work of his church. He was a splendid citizen in every way and did his part in holding up the banner of righteousness and doing what good he could do in the world. He will be greatly missed from the place he occupied in this community.

Rhonda Kay Vander Wiele
January 10, 1962 - May 9, 2024

Rhonda Kay Vander Wiele, age 62, of Porter, Texas, passed away surrounded by her loving family on May 9, 2024. She was born on January 10, 1962, to James Wesley Bryant and Darlene Mae Curtis Bryant in Jacinto City, Texas.

Rhonda was a devoted member of Munn Street Baptist Church for many years. Her faith was an integral part of her life, and she found solace and community within the church.

As a mother, Rhonda was unparalleled. She not only cared for her own children but also embraced their friends as her own. Her love extended beyond her immediate family, especially to her cherished grandchildren, who held a special place in her heart.

Rhonda embodied tenacity, honesty, and class. Her impeccable sense of style was evident in her attire-she always dressed to impress. Her loyalty knew no bounds, especially to her late husband, George H. Vander Wiele, whom she considered the love of her life.

Her warm and inviting nature endeared her to everyone she met. Rhonda's hospitality was legendary, and she welcomed others with open arms. Her maternal instincts were strong, and she cared deeply for those around her.

Despite her generosity, Rhonda remained humble. She quietly performed countless acts of charity within her community, never seeking recognition for her good deeds. Her culinary skills were equally remarkable; everything she prepared not only looked exquisite but also tasted divine.

Rhonda is survived by her loving children: Cassandra "Cassie" Bowie, Cristin "Crissie" Vander Wiele, and George "Wes" Wesley Vander Wiele. Her siblings, Debbie Barrett, and Jim Bryant, share in the grief of her passing. Rhonda's legacy lives on through her cherished grandchildren: Luke, Alexa, Victoria, Jocelyn, Noah, Jordyn, Zoe, Madelyn, Amelia, Liam, Annabelle, Levi, and Sawyer.

She is predeceased by her beloved husband, George H. Vander Wiele, and her parents, James Bryant, and Darlene Bryant.

Rhonda Kay Vander Wiele will be dearly missed by her family and friends. Her memory will forever be etched in our hearts.

RICHARD RITES HELD FRIDAY

Mrs. Rene Richard Passes Away After Lingering Illness

Mrs. Ivey Boudreaux Richard, 35, beloved wife of Rene Richard, passed away here at 6:30 p. m., Thurs- day, August 10, following a long illness, and a critical condition of several weeks' duration.

Funeral services were held from St. Joseph's Catholic Church Friday, August 11 at 5 p. m., Rev. Father H. Lerschen officiating with interment following in the adjacent Catholic cemetery. During the last rites which were largely attended, Father Lerschen chose the opportunity to pay high tribute to Motherhood in general as represented in the heroic death of so many women who have sacrificed their lives for their families. His message, worded as a tender and beautiful eulogy to the life of the deceased mother was the source of great comfort and consolation to the bereaved family.

Pallbearers included Ernest Boudreaux, E. P. Richard, Joe Richard, Wiltz Richard, Milton Richard and J. D. Richard.

Born in Rayne on March 7, 1904, Mrs. Richard was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Laurent Boudreaux of this city. She attended local schools, and in early young womanhood, became the bride of Rene Richard. To this union, two daughters were born, both of whom survive.

None but those who have sat in the shadow of a great bereavement can justly weigh such a sorrow as this death has brought about. devoted wife and mother whose constant concern and chief thought was for her husband and children and her home - and a devout member of the Catholic Church who not only adhered to the precepts of her religion, but put them to everyday practice throughout her entire life, Mrs. Richard was a real Mother in every full sense of this beautiful word.

Her husband and children, her mother and father - scores
friends, were at her bedside constantly do to everything within their power to help her in her fight to overcome the inroads of an illness which was considered serious from the outset, but their loving hands could not hold her here, and death came to give her relief from her months of patient suffering. Deep as is their grief, her family has the consolation of knowing that it is only for a little while that God takes from us our loved ones. We shall have them again "made into immortal beauty. He will keep them safe for us and will give them back to us in radiant and imperishable loveliness. In this life, we see only the beginning of our good things - but one of the surprises of Heaven will be finding there the precious hopes, joys and dreams which seem to have perished on earth - not left behind; but all carried forward and ready to be given into our hands the moment we reach Home."

Tribune extends its condolences to members of the bereaved family who included Rene Richard, and two daughters, Ernestine and Leatrice; Mrs. Richard's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Laurent Boudreaux and one brother, Ernest Boudreaux, all of Rayne.
