Alice Balint Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 18, 2010.

DECEMBER 31, 1913 - FEBRUARY 18, 2010
Mrs. Alice (Radecki) Balint, 96 of Spring Hill, TN, formally of South Bend, Indiana passed away Thursday February 18, 2010 at Rosewood Manor in Columbia, TN. Alice leaves to cherish her memory, her two daughters, Kathleen Dobecki and husband Robert A. of Spring Hill, TN; Sandra Bailey and husband Max of Granger, IN; four Grandchildren, Mark Bailey and wife Mary, Cindy Switalski and husband Edward, Robert C. Dobecki and wife Lisa, James Dobecki and wife Stacey along with five great granddaughters, Jessica Dobecki, Alysha Switalski, Rachael Bailey, Makayla Dobecki and Taylor Dobecki. She was preceded in death by her husband of 63 years, Alex Balint and eight brothers and sisters. She will be laid to rest next to her beloved Alex in St. Joseph Cemetery in South Bend, Indiana.
Alice loved life. She was a peacemaker and never liked for anyone to be mad. She always wanted happiness especially in our little family. Alice loved all her kids and was a very generous person. She was always active playing with the grandkids like badminton that cost her a broken wrist! She loved to go bowling and for years she was in a league. Alice loved playing cards her whole life. Her favorite card game was euchre. Another one of her past times was writing letters to friends and family, crossword puzzles and reading, she also loved to sing and go dance the polka. When her mother died she was only 14 years old and had to go to work. She had beautiful handwriting and she spelled and wrote beautifully for only going up to the 8th grade. She never drove a car but she was a great back seat driver!! Alice was raised a very strict Roman Catholic and thought very strongly of becoming a nun when she was a girl. The Lord was very precious to her and had a personal relationship with Him. She prayed for her family every single day and night. Alice was born in South Bend, Indiana to Stanley and Josephine (Niespodziany) Radecki. She was the last of of nine children. Her siblings were Martha Yuhasz, Theresa Montgomery, Irene Orban, Leona Jozwiak, Edward Radecki, Casimer Radecki, Clem Radecki, and Ted Radecki.

Dear Kathy and Family, I was very sorry to hear about your moms passing but I know she is in a better place now and no more pain or suffering ever. Mary told me and she feels a loss since you were close and Aunt Alice was such a card too. I pray that you will find peace in knowing she is now with Jesus.

My Grandma, my big grandma, could never understand why when I was a little girl I referred to her as my big grandma, it’s because – My Grandma had a big heart of gold. Whenever you visited grandma you never left hungry and she always listened and helped you through the misunderstandings in life. I remember playing in their back yard on Elwood avenue, walking to the local grocery mart so she can buy me candy, playing cards (all kinds of card games). Grandma and Grandpa was never boring, always a joy/fun to be around. They introduced me to seven/sevens with lots and lots of cherry’s, nobody made them as good Grandpa, of course with Grandma’s supervision. Sharing is all they knew, it made them both happy to give not just there hearts, but the little gifts they gave made them feel good too. I’m still in denial as I miss them both and I will continue to believe, as I have for many days/months/years, for the rest of my life that a piece of both of them are with me everyday as they are in my heart. I know this because Grandma always said no matter what happens in our lives we are always in each others hearts and thought of all the time no matter what! She always told me how much she loved me and I would tell her the same. We shared many good times together, shopping, cooking, singing, talking for hours, and laughing a lot, I mean a lot. I don’t know how to end this because I could go on and on, however, I’m going to have to say Goodbye today but just remember Grandma it won’t be forever. I miss you, but remember and don’t forget you are in my heart forever. LOVE YA, your Granddaughter Cindy.
PS : Keep smiling Grandma, remember the good times!

Mom:

So many memories of our life together, as a child, as an adult, as your care giver. I did my absolute best because I love you with all my heart.

In your last few hours when you whispered to me "I love you", was the greatest gift you ever gave me. I will cherish that moment for the rest of my life.

Thank you for giving me life, loving me and being a wonderful Mother.

Kathy & Bob, For many years, as you know, Don and I spent a lot time with your folks in their later years. Visiting, playing cards, making sure they were o.k., etc. One thing for sure, your mom sure told it like it was - no words minced. She always wanted to do the right thing. She liked funny jokes and she was quick to have a good laugh. We, as you know, made it a point every spring to see your mom while she was with you in TN. One thing for sure, when we see you in May we will have a wonderful lady missing from our family visit, my Aunt Alice. We love you both. Don & Rosemary

Alice Balint (Alicia as I called her) was my Mother in Law for 48+ years From the very start she was a very caring and giving individual. Over the years we developed a kindred relationship that had its valley and peaks, but in the end we loved each other. She is now playing euchre with Alex to determine "who's the champ". I will miss her.
For those of you who did not take the time or effort to know this lady, you missed out on a real treasure.

Steve Yuhasz

Kathy, at a time like this there are no words...know that you and Bob are loved and that Aunt Alice is treasured. While it seems like we have lost, Heaven has gained. Aunt Alice is now reunited with Uncle Al and one day we will all share in the blessed reunion. Until then we have God, God's comfort, each other and stories we look forward to hearing when we see you. We love you deeply, Natasha and Steve Yuhasz

My world was rocked off its axis today when The Lord called another Angel home. Alice Radecki Balint, my Busha, “BABCIA” passed away peacefully today, February 18, 2010 to go be with my grandpa “DZIADEK”. As I sit back, all the memories come flowing from my childhood through my adult years. This lady had such a profound impact on my life that words cannot express. She would always end a conversation with a kiss and a song. “You are my sunshine” and always will be Busha. JA KOCHAC WY BABCIA.
All my love,
Your Robby

(23RD PSALMS in POLISH)
Psalm Dawidowy.
Pan jest pasterzem moim,
Niczego mi nie braknie.
Na niwach zielonych pasie mnie.
Nad wody spokojne prowadzi mnie.
Dusze moja pokrzepia.
Wiedzie mnie sciezkami sprawiedliwosci
Ze wzgledu na imie swoje.
Chocbym nawet szedl ciemna dolina,
Zla sie nie ulekne, bos Ty ze mna,
Laska twoja i kij twój mnie pocieszaja.
Zastawiasz przede mna stól
wobec nieprzyjaciól moich,
Namaszczasz oliwa glowe moje,
kielich mój przelewa sie.
Dobroc i laska towarzyszyc mi beda
Przez wszystkie dni zcia mego.
I zamieskam w domu
Pana przez dlugie dni.
