Beatrice Kubat passed away early in the morning of January 18, 2011. She was born May 10, 1922 to John Linhart and Catherine Rejlek Linhart who had a farm in Union Pier Michigan. She was an infant when her parents divorced and she moved with her mother and her two older brothers to Chicago, Illinois. She told her children many stories about growing up poor on Winchester Street on the south side of Chicago. Her brothers watched out for her. When she was a baby, her oldest brother Jim was charged take her of her. In the winter, he took her to her daycare on a sled. When she got older, her brother Raymond "acquired" a bicycle for her.
Growing up, she spent most of her time at Cornell Park and she made friends at the park that she kept for her entire life. After she graduated from high school, she went to work as an executive secretary to Heinz Diederichs at Hub Plating Works in Chicago. Heinz became a kind of surrogate father to her.
She met Frank Kubat around 1940 through a mutual friend. She married him on May 16, 1942 and when he was drafted into the Army in October of 1942, she visited him at Camp McCoy near Sparta, Wisconsin until he was deployed overseas. While Frank was at Camp McCoy, Heinz Dieterichs allowed him to call Beatrice collect at Hub Plating, and, in turn, Frank gave Heinz his cigarette rations.
After Frank returned from the war, they lived and worked in the Chicago area until the early 1950s when they decided explore different areas of the country. In 1952, they took a trip across the southwest and visited friends in Albuquerque. They fell in love with the city, the mountains, and the weather.
In 1955, she and Frank moved to Albuquerque where she worked as an executive secretary and then a bookkeeper. They raised two daughters. When she and Frank retired, they traveled throughout the United States and overseas. One of her favorite trips was the one that they took to England where they visited the site of the Army base in Herfordshire. She joined the party in Washington DC in 2004 for the dedication of the World War II Memorial.
Her husband Frank died in 2001. She was also preceded in death by her brothers James and Raymond. She is survived by her two daughters, a grandson, a special niece (who was considered to be a daughter), and numerous much-loved nieces and nephews.
The best mother. She taught us how to be independent and how to think for ourselves.
