Mrs. Paclik passed away Friday, September 14, 2012 at her home in Gainesville.

Elizabeth Paclik was born June 2, 1919 in Athens, TX to Porter and Lizzie Morrison. On December 26, 1940 she married Dr. Charlie John “Doc” Paclik. They moved to Gainesville, his hometown, where Dr. Paclik set up his veterinarian clinic. Mrs. Paclik worked hand in hand with her husband to make a successful vet practice. Her family was important to her as well as her service to others. She lived as a caring example to both her friends and family and to those she ministered to in the nursing homes. She was a devoted grandmother and shared her love for fishing and reading with her four grandsons at an early age.

Survivors include: son Dr. Mike Paclik of Austin; daughter Diane Paclik Dietz of Gainesville; daughter Patricia Paclik Highfill of Denton; grandsons Michael Paclik of Austin, Aaron and Zach Highfill of Denton, and Jordan Dietz of Gainesville; great-grandchildren Penelope Elizabeth Paclik of Austin and Hezekiah Andrew Highfill of Denton. Survivors also include several nieces and nephews.

Preceded in death by: husband Dr. Charlie John Paclik, longtime veterinarian of Gainesville; parents Porter and Lizzie Morrison; brother Charles Morrison; and sister Marjorie Murphy.

The family would like to thank the wonderful nurses and entire staff at NTMC Home Health for the loving care given to Mrs. Paclik. They also would like to thank Solaris Hospic for their loving care, especially during her final days. We are very grateful to Barbara Newsom of Callisburg and Debra Rasdall of Gainesville for their love and support to Mrs. Paclik and her family.
