Lillian Maebelle Hartman Moehring, a life-long Hondo resident, passed away on Friday, June 24, 2005, at the age of 86. Lillian was born in Hondo on February 20, 1919, and was raised in the Quihi area, the youngest of three daughters of Ernest and Louisa Hartman. Lillian's older sister, Eleen, was determined to see that Lillian would attend high school and convinced their father to pay for the tuition that it took to send Lillian to high school. After graduation from Hondo High, Lillian worked for a while at a bakery in Hondo and was soon introduced to a young man who would become the most important man in her life, Herbert Moehring. Herbert and Lillian were married on October 3, 1940, and had three daughters: Doris, Geneva, and Joyce. During the early years of their married life, Herbert had decided to start a small fruit and vegetable business, and Lillian often accompanied him as they made their treks to the market place in San Antonio, bringing back fresh goods for Hondo patrons. Eventually they turned this enterprise into the well-respected G & M Food Store, and Lillian played a vital role in the financial end as bookkeeper and was a wonderful support to Herbert in so many other ways. Previous to Herbert's death in 2003, Lillian had become an avid walker, and Herbert was always there to drive her to the high school track for her morning walks after she developed macular degeneration. After his death she did not let this handicap keep her from those daily walks of 2-5 miles which were always the highlight of her day. In fact, she was on one of those regular morning walks when she suffered a fatal stroke. The other most significant part of her life was attending church regularly, rain or shine, due to the generosity of some very faithful church family members, who were always ready and willing to pick her up and take her to church. Lillian is survived by two sisters, Eleen Brucks and Della Bohlen; two daughters, Doris Menke and husband, Jim, of San Antonio, and Joyce Herring and husband, Monty, also of San Antonio. She was preceded in death by her husband Herbert Moehring and her daughter, Geneva Masters, wife of Russell Masters. Grandma Moehring was also loved and cherished by six grandchildren: David Menke, Kelly Masters, Dallas Masters, Julie Castro, Jean Robinson, and Jennifer Robinson; and four great grandsons: Brandon Robinson, Jack Robinson, Paul Masters, and Indigo Castro. Visitation was on Sunday, June 26 at Guinn-Horger Funeral Home in Hondo. Funeral services were held at 10:00 a.m., Monday, June 27 at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Quihi, Pastor Steven Schur officiating. Internment was in the family plot at Oakwood Cemetery in Hondo. Pallbearers were Tony Castro, David Menke, Justin Robinson, Mark Robinson, and Bruce Rockstroh. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that memorials be made to Bethlehem Lutheran Church, 3901 FM 2676, Hondo, TX 78861.
