Emilia Kasparek

Emilia Anastasia Kasparek, 79, passed away on August 30, 2025. Emilia was born on August 11, 1946 in McAllen, Texas to Richard, Sr and Mary Gregorcyk.

Emilia loved to cook and bake for her family as she was very devoted to them and her loving husband of 59 years, Edward Kasparek. She loved the beach and when she was there collecting seashells and fishing was always a fun pastime for her. She also loved collecting bells and angels but if you ask her family she perked up and loved Kenny Rogers music the most and it would brighten her day.

Emilia was preceded in death by her parents, her in-laws and her brother, Richard Gregorcyk, Jr. Emilia is survived by her devoted husband of 59 years. Their earthly parting was brief as he followed her into eternal life within hours. She is also survived by her children, Carl (Judy) Kasparek, Mary (Paul) Hightower, brothers, Joe (Sue) Gregorcyk, Nick (Joan) Gregorcyk, John Gregorcyk, Michael (Brenda) Gregorcyk; sister-in-law, Virginia Gregorcyk and Paula Means; sister, Mary (John) Cash; brother-in-law, James (Debie) Kasparek; grandchildren, Cody (Hanna) Hightower and Carleigh (Colton) Schubert; great- grandchildren, Harper Hightower and Caisley Schubert, along with numerous nieces and nephews.
