Treybig

Elizabeth Marian (Coufal) Treybig (loving wife, mother, sister, aunt, friend and grandmother) at the age of 74, of Austin (Rollingwood), died Thursday, Dec. 6, 2018.

Elizabeth was born in Willow Springs on May 14, 1944, the daughter of Robert A. Coufal and Antonia (Legler) Coufal. She married Harvey J. Treybig on Dec. 22, 1963 at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Warrenton.

Elizabeth grew up in Fayette County and lived in Austin for 54 years (Rollingwood for 40). Lizzy, as she was affectionately known by friends and family, graduated from Fayetteville High School and attended Wharton County Junior College and the University of Texas and worked as a nurse at Columbus and Brackenridge Hospitals and as a Home Health Care Assistant Administrator. She also worked for Austin Research Engineers and General Cinema Theaters as a District Manager Assistant before her retirement in 2002.

Elizabeth was a very active member of every organization and church she was a member of throughout her life and was a very passionate fan of every activity her son, grandchildren and extended family were involved in. After overseeing or creating programs including the Sunday School program at Saint Martin’s Lutheran Church in Austin, she started the “Honor Our Veterans” service for the Industry Brethren Church, and Fayetteville Communities in 2010. She also contributed to books such as “Czechs in Uniform III”, many bios for genealogy trees and “Life Books”. Along with her husband, she produced monthly newsletters for her beloved church.

She is survived by her loving husband of 55 years, Harvey J. Treybig; son, Bradley H. Treybig and wife, Kelly, of Austin; granddaughter, Kasey Ann Treybig and fiancé, Chase Ricketts, of Austin; grandson, Brandon Geoffrey Treybig of San Marcos; sister, Roberta Schmidt of Columbus; two brothers: Calvin Coufal and wife, Sheila, of Willow Springs and Barnell Coufal and wife, Joyce, of Florida; as well as numerous nieces and nephews that she loved dearly. She was preceded in death by her parents; sister, Euna Mae Coufal Krenek and brothers-in-law: Donald Schmidt and Benjamin Krenek.
