Barbara Jean (Bienek)Gajewski, 78, of Rosenberg, TX, passed away peacefully on 4/15/2026 in her daughter's home on hospice following a massive stroke. She was born 11/1/1947, in Angleton, TX, to Emil Bienek and Wilma Pisklak Bienek.

She is preceded in her death by her father Emil Bienek, her grandson Jerry Brdecka IV, and her husband of 43 years Clem Gajewski.

She is survived by her four children: son, Nathan Sebesta, wife Ruby, his 2 sons Tyler and Drew; son, Darrell Sebesta and Wanda, his son Cain wife Lora and Barbara's first great-granddaughter Autumn; daughter, Kimberly Steed, husband Cory and son Richard "Jake" Ortega; son, Russell Sebesta and his son Garrett; her mother, Wilma Bienek; sisters Shirley Jones and husband Butch, Linda Sweeney and husband Glenn, Celine Bienek-Vogler and husband James; one brother, Allen Bienek; brother-in-law, Victor Gajewski and wife Betty; sisters-in-law, Nancy and Mary Lou Gajewski; numerous nieces, nephews and great-nieces and nephews; her aunts, Bertha Hruby and Georgie Koehne; and many cousins throughout the Needville-Fairchilds area.

Barbara enjoyed cooking and feeding her friends. She loved the outdoors, gardening, and fishing with her husband Clem. Barbara was a long-time business owner in Rosenberg. She owned the neighborhood watering hole "The Office" where she enjoyed socializing, playing darts and watching football.

Besides being with her husband, Clem, her happiest times were being a grandmother. She loved her grandsons dearly. We finally got a girl in the family and couldn't wait to see her interactions with baby Autumn.

After the Graveside Service there will be a Luncheon at SPJST Hall/Needville, where you can feel free to BYOB/Peevo, like the Czechs say "In Heaven there is no beer…"
