   Mary Justeen Loika
   ODESSA On Thursday, July 12, 2001, with family and friends at her
   side, Mary Justeen Loika went home to be with the Lord after a
   courageous two-year battle with cancer. Justeen was a loving wife,
   daughter, sister and friend. Those who were blessed to know her, knew
   her as thoughtful, caring and always encouraging. Now those loved ones
   again are encouraged knowing Justeen is resting in peace and comfort
   in the arms of our Savior. God has received a most precious soul.
   The Lord saw that she was getting tired. A cure on Earth was not to
   be, so he put his arms around her and whispered, Justeen, come here
   with me. With tearful eyes we saw her go, and softly fade away, and
   though we loved her dearly, all we could do was pray. A golden heart
   stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to
   prove to us, he only takes the best.
   Justeen was born April 10, 1948, in San Angelo to Maxwell N. Robinson
   and Mary Kathrine Hadley. On July 5, 1968, she became the wife of
   James Jim Loika in Grape Creek. Justeen moved to Odessa in November
   1969, where her husband was stationed as a Texas state trooper. Odessa
   remained their home for over 30 years, 10 of which she was employed by
   H&R Block, four as office manager.
   Justeens death was preceded by her father, Max Robinson Sr., and her
   nephew, Coy Robinson.
   Justeen is survived by her husband, Jim Loika; mother, Mary Kathrine
   Hadley; brothers, Max, Ray, Charles and many nephews and nieces.
   Pallbearers include Jeff Robinson, Aaron Loika, Dennis Riley, Jim
   Crawford, Lynn Dudney, Skip Hunt and honorary, O.A. Bob Brookshire.
   Services will be at 4 p.m. today, July 14, 2001, at Sunset Memorial
   Chapel with the Rev. Mike Johnson officiating. Burial will follow at
   Sunset Memorial Gardens.
   Special thanks to Home Hospice and Emily Theilepape, registered nurse.
   Those desiring to do so may send donations to the American Cancer
   Society and/or MD Anderson Cancer Center.
