Mrs. Zaskoda died on Thursday, Feb. 18, 2021, in Caldwell after a short illness.

Lillian was born on Nov. 23, 1925, in Hungerford to Rudolf Matusek and Mary Liberda Matusek.

Lillian was a resident of Caldwell in Burleson County since 2000.

Prior to that, she had lived in Louise in Wharton County for 46 years where she was a devoted Catholic and attended St. Andrew’s Catholic Church and St. Procopius Catholic Church.

She was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church once she moved to Caldwell.

Lillian met her late husband, Dominick E. Zaskoda, in 1949 at a Paul Jones dance, and they married on Nov. 23, 1954, in Hungerford.

She was a beautician by trade and worked in a salon in El Campo before she married Dominick.

Some of the highlights in her life included being a member of the SPJST for over 50 years and volunteering at the Burleson St. Joseph Manor for a few years where she met Mr. John Vollentine.

The two of them enjoyed traveling together and attending dances for many years. Even in the last couple of years when it was harder for her to participate at the dances, she still loved to go and visit with Mr. John Vollentine and her many friends.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Dominick E. Zaskoda; her parents; her sisters, Bessie Macha, Mary Chovanec and Martha Kutach; her brother, Richard Matusek; and her daughter-in-law, Monie Kay Zaskoda.

Lillian is survived by her son, Tim Zaskoda and wife, Nicole, of Caldwell; her grandchildren, Sterling Dalley and wife, Jennifer, Zella Zaskoda, Haley Hearne, Emily Hearne, and Ashlie Wilson; and her great-grandchildren, Jana Nickason, Jayden Nickason, Hunter Wilson, Lakelyn Wilson and Lainey Wilson.

Pallbearers were Leon Macha, Charles Kutach, Dennis Kutach, Leroy Bacak, Sterling Dalley, and Jayden Nickason.

Honary pallbearers were John Vollentine, Bernard Hlavinka, and Lawrence Bacak.
