Lillie Bertha (Sommerfeld) Weiss at the age of 109, seven months and fifteen
days of Brenham and the widow of Herman H. Weiss, Sr., passed away Wednes-
day, October 16, 2013 at Scott & White Hospital-Brenham.

Visitation for Mrs. Weiss will be from 5:00 until 7:00 p.m., Saturday, October 19
in Brenham Memorial Chapel. Funeral services are 3:00 p.m., Sunday, October 20
in Grace Lutheran Church with Rev. Matthew Jacobs officiating. Burial will follow
in Prairie Lea Cemetery.

Lillie was born March 1, 1904 in the Williams / Possum Trot Community of
Washington County, Texas to Julius and Bertha (Kurtz) Sommerfeld. She was
baptized and confirmed in St. Peter’s Lutheran Church of Gay Hill and on
November 22, 1923 she was united in marriage to Herman H. Weiss by Rev.
F. Apfelbach in the same church. In 1943 she and her husband moved into
town and became members of Grace Lutheran Church where she remained
a faithful member.

In 1945 the Weiss’ opened a service station across from the American Legion
Home. That operation continued for 22 years. They were married for 61 years
when Herman passed away on August 18, 1984. Lillie was an avid baseball fan
especially to her beloved New York Yankees and rooting for Yogi Berra. Whether
it was tears of disappointment at a loss or tears of joy after a victory, she and
her husband would cry with the team. She kept active well into her nineties
and mowed her lawn when she was 94. Lillie slowed down a bit at the age of
104 when she moved into the nursing home. The family gatherings remained
very special to her.

She is preceded in death by her parents, husband, sons Herman H. Weiss Jr.
and Clarence Weiss, brothers Ed, William, Melvin, Albert and Leslie Sommerfeld,
sisters Lena Rodenbeck, Celesta Rosner and an infant baby sister, son-in-law
Woodrow Dahmann and grandson Paul Alan Gajeske.

Her surviving family includes son and daughters-in-law, Lee Roy & Allyne Weiss
and LaVerne Weiss; daughters and son-in-law Lillie Mae Dahmann and Doris Ann &
Robert Gajeske Jr.; brother and sister-in-law, Almot “Fritz” & Sydonia Sommerfeld;
grandchildren Don Weiss (Kay) Pamela Bolenbarr (Don), Roy Lee Dahmann (Becky),
David Dahmann (Lynette), Michael Dahmann (Charlotte), Sherri Finke (Weldon),
Susie Sefcik (Michael Holder), Sandra Duch (Roger), Terry Locke (John), Robert
Gajeske III, Lisa Wisenbaker (Paul); numerous great-grandchildren; great-great-
grand-children along with numerous nieces and nephews

Pallbearers will be Donald Lee Weiss, Robert Gajeske III, David Dahmann, Michael
Dahmann, Weldon Finke, Don Bolenbarr, Roger Duch and Paul Wisenbaker. Hono-
rary pallbearers will be Brian Weiss, Roy Lee Dahmann, Alton Sommerfeld, and
