Ouida Marie Mauritz Brock
Ouida “Weesie” Marie Mauritz Brock, 88, peacefully passed away into the waiting arms of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on July 1, 2022. She is preceded in death by her parents, Ouida and Harry Mauritz, and her loving sister, Ruth J’Nel Mauritz.
Weesie graduated from the University of Texas at Austin where she met the love of her life, M. H. “Buddy” Brock, to whom she was married for 66 years. They have four children: David Brock (Cathryn) of Boerne; Susan Brock McGee of San Antonio; Donna Brock Flatt (Darrell) of Tyler; and Mark Brock (Wendy) of College Station; ten grandchildren: Courtney McGee, Laura Colomba (Brandon), Stephen McGee (Brittany), John Flatt, Ashley Brock, Marcial Brock, Madeline Flatt, David Brock, Mary Claire Brock, and McLain Brock; and three great-grandchildren: Brock Kelly, Jack Kelly, and Caroline Colomba.
Weesie is also survived by her best friend and sister, Donna Maude “Maudie” Thomas (Hunter), and her nieces and nephews: Ann Boxwell, Griff Thomas, Ouida Williams, and Brock Smith.
Weesie’s devotion was always to her family and to her church. She lived a lifetime full of love, laughter, friendship, and service. She made memories on vacations at the bay and the lake, particularly while celebrating one of her favorite holidays, July 4th. She also enjoyed gardening, cooking, and serving others with her exceptional gift of hospitality. She was a member of the First Baptist Church of Edna, where she had the privilege to share her love of music by playing the organ and piano for church services, weddings, and other events.
Weesie’s home and her heart were always open to her friends as well as friends of family members. She considered everyone had value in God’s plans and saw the positive in everyone. Weesie’s life will be celebrated on Thursday, July 7, at 2 pm at the First Baptist Church of Edna. Honorary pallbearers are her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to Mrs. Alice Prince for her excellent care and support.
