My wife Ana and I welcome you to Magnolia Spaces in Refugio, Texas! My parents, Julius and Mary Joan Repka, moved to Refugio in 1958. They first lived in a little house just up the road from Magnolia Spaces. In late 1959 or early 1960 they moved to a home at 507 E Plasuela Street, the land on which Magnolia Spaces exists. They had 6 living children when they arrived and 4 additional children were born while they lived at this address, including myself in 1961.

I have some great memories of my childhood years growing up on this land. Hopefully you will enjoy your time at Magnolia Spaces and create some memories of your own! Until developing Magnolia Spaces, I always thought the Magnolia was my Father’s favorite flowering tree. Then recently I learned it was my mom’s favorite! However, I also learned it was my mom’s favorite only because it was my dad’s favorite!

​

I so love how mom and dad loved each other and try to model their love in my own life relationships. You will find a couple of Magnolia Trees in the fenced common area that are planted in their memory.
