Pete Matak Jr. passed away on March 5, 2026, in Beaumont,
Texas at the age of 96 years. He was born on September 9, 1929,
in Vanderbilt, Texas, being the seventh of nine children raised
by Pete and Annie Matak on a farm in LaSalle, Texas. Less than a
month after Pete was born, America's stock market crashed on
"Black Friday" and America entered the "Great Depression," a
decade that shaped Pete's upbringing and behavior for the rest
of his life. During the early years of his life, Pete and his
family lived on the farm before any farm or home in Jackson
County was wired for electricity, which did not commence until
after 1940. Broussard’s Mortuary, Beaumont, Texas

Claudia Marie Compton Meismer, 82, of Hallettsville, lovingly known as “MoMo” to her family and friends, passed away peacefully on June 27, 2025, in Schulenburg, Texas, after a long and courageous battle with Alzheimer’s disease. Born in LaWard, Texas, on October 8, 1942, to the late Jack L. Compton & Willie Gilmore Compton. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She was cherished for her compassion, generous spirit, love of crafting, and her steadfast support of her family. Claudia graduated from Bishop High School in 1961 and earned her Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education in 1965 from Texas A&I University in Kingsville, Texas (now known as Texas A&M-Kingsville, though Claudia proudly noted it was not the same). A dedicated educator, she taught elementary school for 35 years, known for her combination of strict discipline and deep care for her students’ well-being. She left a lasting impact on generations of children and their families. On December 28, 1965, Claudia married the love of her life, James Meismer. Together they built a life filled with love and laughter in several Texas towns including El Campo, Orange, and Palacios before settling in Hallettsville. James preceded her in death in 2003. Claudia is survived by: two children, Paul Meismer of Rockport, Texas, and Leigh Ann Vidrine & husband Brian of Millersville, Maryland; her beloved grandchildren, Lilly Vidrine and Olivia Vidrine of Maryland, Casey Meismer & wife Megan and Trey Meismer all of Rockport; great grandson Briggs Meismer; sisters, (Margaret) Virginia Odom of Rosenberg, Texas and Joan Compton of Marlin, Texas; and many nieces and nephews. Claudia was preceded in death by her loving husband in 2003, her parents, her sister Patricia Ann Compton and brother Carl Lynn Compton. Outside the classroom, Claudia was passionate about dancing to any tune on the radio, listening to country music, and crafting — especially at Christmas time. She and her sister Virginia spent countless hours together creating Christmas decorations and selling their work at Market Days and holiday craft shows. Her love for the Christmas season was evident in the joyful décor that filled every corner of her home. Claudia’s greatest joy came from being “MoMo”. She treasured time with her granddaughters in Maryland and never missed a chance to travel to Rockport to cheer on her grandsons at their baseball and football games. Her deep faith sustained her throughout her life. Raised in the Baptist church, she converted to Catholicism at age 23 and found peace and strength in the sacraments. Even as Alzheimer’s challenged her in later years, her faith in Christ never wavered and remained a guiding light. Funeral Mass Service: 10:30 am, Wednesday, July 2, 2025, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church of Hallettsville with Visitation starting at 9 am and Rosary starting at 10 am. Pallbearers: Casey and Trey Meismer, AJ Carter, Tye Odom, Kyle Meismer and Bryan Teague. Officiant: Rev. Michael Rother.
