Leona Anna Wunderlich Honig of Hondo, age 102, went to be with the Lord Monday, Dec. 5, 2016. Leona was born April 9, 1914, in the rural area of Lavaca County, near Moulton. She was the seventh of eight children of Otto H. and Anna Sophie Pietsch Wunderlich. Leona was baptized May 31, 1914, at Zion Lutheran Church, Charlottenburg TX, by Pastor K. Konzak. She was confirmed Mar. 24, 1929, by Pastor Konzak at Bethany Lutheran Church, Fredericksburg. All confirmation instruction at the church was in German and they memorized many scriptures and songs. Attending a one-room rural school at Rheingold, she rode a horse to school and sometimes went with horse and buggy. Helping with chores on the farm at Rheingold, she would often cultivate corn and cotton with a team of horses. After picking cotton with her family, she would use the horse team to pull a stalk cutter to cut the cotton stalks. Leona met William A. Honig of Harper at a Luther League party at church in Fredericksburg. They married on July 27, 1940, at Bethany Lutheran Church in Fredericksburg. After their marriage, they worked on his father's ranch at Blanco, and later at his father's ranch at Harper, raising sheep and goats. James, Paul and Emanuel were born during this time. The family moved to the ranch near Fredericksburg in 1948 and, during this time, Weldon was born. The children rode the school bus and attended school in Fredericksburg. In 1955, the family moved to Hondo because of the drought. William worked for Chapman Grain and, later, Leona worked at Dairy Kreme and Brown's Nursing Home (now Community Care Center). In addition to being an active member of St. Paul Lutheran Church, she participated in exercise classes at First Methodist Church in Hondo, Seasoned Saints fellowship at New Fountain Methodist Church, AARP, and she loved to quilt with her group at St. Paul. A Sunday School teacher for 25 years, she had a strong faith in her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She had daily devotions and prayers with her family and said her private prayers in German.
