Bastrop, Tx–Victoria “Anabelle” (Zbel) Kengerski, 95, died shortly before 5 p.m. today in her home at Argent Court in Bastrop with her daughter, Bastrop novelist-journalist-filmmaker Carolyn Banks, at her bedside. She died of natural causes related to aging.
Kengerski was born in Pittsburgh, PA in 1913 and had been a Bastrop resident for five years. During her working life she was a Teamster in Pittsburgh, working in a warehouse.
Other survivors include a grandson, Donald Banks and wife Beth of Elgin. This writer, Davis McAuley, was her son-in-law, so this is something of a personal post.
Funeral plans are pending.
