Obituary published on Legacy.com by Rhodes Funeral Home - Karnes City on Mar. 12, 2026.
Erna M. Kroll, age 91, of Falls City, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Wednesday, March 11, 2026. She was born on October 27, 1934, to John Hosek and Julie Hrbacek Hosek in Wilson County, Tx.

Throughout her life, Erna was devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She dedicated 25 years of service to Wiatrek's Meat Market in Poth and additional years as a certified nursing assistant at John Paul Nursing Home in Kenedy. In her leisure time, Erna enjoyed gardening and family gatherings. She assisted her grandchildren every year with their chickens for the stock-show. Her exceptional baking skills, particularly her delicious apple strudel, will be deeply missed.

She is preceded in death by her parents; husband, Emil Kroll; son, Gary Kroll; and sisters, Hilda, Helen, Henryetta, and Julie Bell.

Erna is survived by her children Ronnie (Brenda) Kroll, Larry (Debbie) Kroll, Kathy (Larry) Koether, Emil Jr. (Mary) Kroll: grandchildren, Karissa, Melissa, Scott, Kimberly, Lindsay, Robbie, Ashley, Stacey, Bradley, Stephanie, Trey, Mason, Neil, and Tatum; 22 great-grandchildren; and brother, John Hosek.

Services are pending at this time.

Pallbearers will be Scott Kroll, Bradley Koether, Colby Cooke, Christopher Mcfarlane, Cory Black, Trey Kroll, Josh Warner, and Joe Lucio.

Honorary pallbearers will be Shane Pfullman, Adrianna Munoz, Desirre Garcia, and Lisa Calhoun.

The family would like to thank Prairie Meadows Nursing Home in Floresville as well as Trinity Hospice for the wonderful care they gave to Erna.
