With heavy hearts and loving memories, our family shares the sad news of the passing of our mother, Annette Husak. She passed away this morning, January 20, 2024, after a year-long battle with pancreatic cancer. We are grateful she is now at peace and free from pain. Born and raised in Fresno, she dedicated her life to nurturing young minds as a kindergarten teacher at Jefferson Elementary in Sanger, CA. Her passion for education and her unwavering patience left its mark on countless lives, spanning generations. In 2009, she was named Teacher of the Year in Sanger Unified. Her love for teaching didn't end with retirement; she continued to teach reading at Fairmont in Sanger for 2 more years. And after fully leaving Sanger Unified she spent her time spoiling, teaching, and unconditionally loving her four grandkids. Apart from her professional achievements, Annette, alongside our father, were strong supporters of the local arts, playing a significant role in founding Blossom Trail Players and building the theater program at Jefferson Elementary School. Her legacy in the arts will live on through the many lives she touched. Beyond her public life, Mom was the heart of our family. Her strength and care saw our father through his recovery after his severe stroke in 2016. She was a model of love, continuing to care for him even amidst her own health challenges. As we prepare to celebrate her remarkable life, details of Mom's service will be announced soon. We invite you to share your cherished memories of Annette. She believed in the power of gratitude and miracles, and in her spirit, we encourage you to hold onto those values. Your thoughts and memories are a great comfort to us during this time. Annette is preceded in death by her husband of 52 years, Dan Husak who passed away in October of 2023. She will be missed by her children, Aaron Husak and his wife Lisa of Sanger, Megan Husak and her fiancé Josh Jennings of Fresno, and Alexis McFarlin and her husband Tyler of Ashland, OH; her sister JoAnn Christian and her husband Bob of Fresno; her beloved grandchildren Cora Husak, Alice Husak, Grant Husak and Maison McFarlin. Celebration of Mass will be held in Annette's honor at Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church on Saturday, February 3, 2024 at 1:30 p.m. Remembrances may be made in to the Annette Husak Memorial Scholarship Fund https://www.gofundme.com/f/annette-husak-memorial-scholarship
