Vonda Sebesta: Sept. 10, 1965-Jan. 26, 2026

She had a sharp wit and an unmistakable laugh, spoke her mind honestly, and held a deep love for music, art, the water, and nature – where she felt most like herself.

Vonda Sebesta, age 60, passed away on January 26, 2026, in Center Point, Texas.

She was born on September 10, 1965, in San Antonio, Texas, to Mitch and Sharon Butler. To those who knew her, V was a true free spirit who gave love easily and without condition. She had a sharp wit and an unmistakable laugh, spoke her mind honestly, and held a deep love for music, art, the water, and nature – where she felt most like herself. She showed up fiercely for the people she loved and gave her whole heart to her children and grandchildren, who were the center of her world. She will forever be their biggest cheerleader.
