They were married April 20, 1949, in Osmond. In 1953, they moved to Chadron with three children, and through the years, their family grew to include six daughters and six sons. They lived in their big house on the corner of Chapin Street for more than 40 years until Willie passed away in 2010. Beata moved to Madison to live at Countryside Home in 2014. In Chadron, Beata was a member of the St. Patrick’s Catholic Church altar society, prayer chain, weekly prayer meeting and the Charismatic Renewal movement. Outside of church, she was a founding member of an organic foods cooperative in the 1970s to bring affordable natural foods to Chadron. She was passionate about organic gardening, canning and making pickles, jams and jellies. Most of all, Beata was legendary in Chadron for her homemade bread and rolls, and even taught an extension class at Chadron State College on bread baking. She was featured in a regional newspaper for her baking methods and recipes. She also enjoyed dancing, birdwatching, gardening, music and drawing, and was a voracious reader. She was fortunate to have the opportunity to travel internawlrqdoo|#wr#Mdsdq/#Jhupdq|/#Fdqdgd# and throughout the country to visit her friends, relatives, children and grandchildren.
