She started her teaching career at New Caney, where she met a fellow teacher and the love of her life marring Jerry Krivacka in 1959. In 1961 they moved to East Bernard and both accepted teaching roles in the East Bernard Schools and made the community their home. Her primary role was being a house wife and mother but had a second love, that being caring for her students. She retired from classroom teaching after 30 years but did not quit teaching. She continued substitute teaching for 12 years and loveingly watched the children learn while having fun in the process. A burial Mass was held in her home parish of the Holy Cross Catholic Church in East Bernard. She was laid to rest next to her husband Jerry Krivacka in the Buffalo City Cemetery in Buffalo. Charlscie has many dear friends she cherished dearly that included fellow teachers and parents of children that appreciated her work with their children. There are too many to name but the family offers heart felt thank you for their friendship and love that so many expressed during her brief illness.
