Ila Nell (Wagner) Kieke

Ila Nell (Wagner) Kieke of Burton passed away peacefully at her home on April 14, 2026. Ila was born on February 24, 1930 to Harry and Lillie (Luetge) Wagner. On May 8, 1948 she was married to the love of her life, Daniel Kieke at Emmanuel Lutheran Church of Greenvine. They were NEVER seen apart. Ila was a lifelong member of Martin Luther Lutheran Church in Carmine. She attended school until the 8^th grade. She was a homemaker and helped her husband run their egg operation most of her life. Ila found joy tending to her garden and yardwork. She was an exceptional seamstress. In her younger days, Daniel & Ila enjoyed going to dances and dining out on the weekends with their close friends. They also thoroughly enjoyed watching their grandchildren play sports. After marriage Daniel and Ila recognized the farming life was not a sufficient way of life for them so they moved to Houston and Pasadena where Daniel became employed. In the late 1950’s they would travel back home to Burton to gather their weekly supplies of farm fresh eggs, sausage, and other food produced on the homeplace. They began supplying their neighbors with eggs and it soon became evident that this “sideline” job soon began making more money than Daniel’s job. They then moved back home to Burton and went into the commercial egg business. Daniel and Ila delivered every Tuesday to their 500 door-to-door customers in Houston, Daniel in his pickup and Ila in her car. They never missed a Tuesday! Daniel and Ila’s children, Karen & Ricky, at a very young age helped produce and process eggs. It didn’t take many months for Daniel & Ila to decide to invest in a larger delivery truck and work together. As demand grew for their farm fresh eggs Daniel and Ila increased their hen population and in turn brought Kieke Egg Farm to life. Ila’s vital role in the early years of the Kieke Egg Farm was being a meticulous bookkeeper. Until her mid 70’s, she could be found everyday alongside her husband working hand in hand on the farm. Survivors include her daughter, Karen (Kieke) Rosenbaum and husband Raymond, son Ricky and wife Debbie (Boehnemann). Grandchildren, Theresa (Rosenbaum) Garlin, Jeremy Rosenbaum and wife Stephanie (Wilson), Angie (Kieke) Fritsch and husband Ryan “Bubba”, Abby (Kieke) Majewski and husband Dustin. Great-grandchildren, Hayden Garlin and wife Alexa, Cole Garlin and wife Abby, Haley (Rosenbaum) Hargrove and husband Ryan, Allison (Roenbaum) Weiss and husband Shawn, Ryan Rosenbaum, Chet Fritsch, Paige Fritsch, Hank Majewski and Charli Majewski. Great great grandchildren Carter and Reagan Hargrove, Coleman and Graham Weiss and soon to be great great granddaughter to Hayden and Alexa Garlin. Along with numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. She is preceded in death by her husband, her parents, her in-laws, brother and sisters, and brothers and sisters in laws, and grandson Dwayne Garlin.

Lynn Levien

Lynn Levien, 69, devoted wife, mother, sister, Maw Maw Lynn, and friend, passed away peacefully in her sleep at home on Wednesday, April 1, after a long battle with cancer. Lynn Barie Richter was born on June 15, 1956 in Huntsville, Texas, to Barry Louis and Willie Mae (Spitzer) Richter. She was baptized in the Lutheran faith and confirmed at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church of Gay Hill. Lynn attended Brenham area schools and graduated from Brenham High School. Lynn married the love of her life, Kenneth Carl Levien, Jr., on August 18, 1979. After moving to Round Top to start their life, they welcomed their son, Dustin Carl Levien on September 8, 1982. Junior and Lynn became a part of the Round Top community and loved the life they built there. Lynn remained close to her sisters Hope and Corliss after their parents passed away. She and Hope would meet several times a year, and they would visit their sister Corliss in Harlingen at least once a year.  In her final years, her granddaughter Maelynn was the brightest joy in Lynn’s life. One especially meaningful moment was celebrating Maelynn’s fifth birthday this past March. The family is deeply grateful that Lynn was feeling well and was able to share in that special day. She worked for Briggs and Frazee (later Schneider, Frazee, and Matocha) in La Grange for more than 40 years before retiring. She continued part-time work for Sandra Kana the last couple of years. Lynn enjoyed watching sports, remaining a loyal fan of the Houston Oilers before becoming a devoted Houston Texans supporter. She also followed the Dallas Cowboys and loved watching the Houston Astros. A real country girl at heart, Lynn also loved going fishing. Just a couple of years ago for her birthday, Junior, Lynn, Dustin, and a couple of family friends went fishing at a small catfish pond near Round Top and had the best fishing day probably any of them had in their lifetimes. She was smiling from ear to ear that whole afternoon. Lynn was not much of a hunter, but anyone who knows Junior will tell you that she nonetheless was proud owner of several firearms that she may or may not have ever fired. Junior once came home from the Round Top 4th of July parade with a new shotgun, and Lynn exclaimed that he was the only person she knew who would come home from a parade with a new gun! Lynn is survived by her husband of 46 years, Kenneth Levien, Jr., her son Dustin Levien, daughter-in-law Yumi Kim, and granddaughter Maelynn Kim Levien of College Station, TX. She is also survived by sisters and brothers-in-law Hope and Russ White of Dallas, Texas and Corliss and Larry Schoenemann of Harlingen, Texas, niece Karen Boykin and husband Bo, nephew Greg Schoenemann and wife Monica, several great-nieces and great-nephews, and other family and friends. Lynn was preceded in death by her parents, Barry and Willie Mae Richter, father-in-law and mother-in-law Kenneth “Smokey” Levien and Konda Levien. Lynn’s life was a testament to hard work, steadfast love, and hope and determination in the face of adversity. She devoted her life to caring for and supporting her family and friends in any way she could. She will be dearly missed by those who knew her. We would like to thank MD Anderson Cancer Center for the outstanding care they gave her over the years. We would also like to thank Chris Pereiro, Bonnie Farris, Ashley Farris, JJ Reyna, Valerie Moore, Larry Clack and friends from Paw Paw’s Firehouse Cafe, friends at Round Top Church Christian Fellowship, and countless others for their continued help and prayers. Visitation will be held at Memorial Oaks Chapel in Carmine on Friday, April 10 from 5pm to 7pm. A memorial service will be held at 11:00am on Saturday, April 11th at Bethlehem Lutheran Church at 412 S White St., Round Top, TX. A light meal will follow the service. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Round Top Church Christian Fellowship, MD Anderson Cancer Center, or an organization of your choice. Service arrangements have been entrusted to Memorial Oaks Chapel, Carmine, Texas  78932.  To post a tribute to the family, please visit www.memorialoakschapel.com

Skye Marie Schumpert

Skye Marie Schumpert was born on November 7, 1983, in Brenham, Texas. She was called to her eternal home on December 15, 2025, in Houston, Texas. She was the beloved daughter of Cindy Clay and Mark Schumpert. Skye was affectionately known as a shining light in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her.  Though her journey on this earth was far too short, it was filled with love, compassion, and an unwavering faith in God. Her passing has left a deep void in the hearts of her family, friends, and all whose lives she touched. We ask that she be remembered not for the way her life ended, but for the way it was lived—and for the profound impact she had on those around her. After graduating from Brenham High School, Skye pursued her passion by attending cosmetology school in Tomball. She quickly became known for her talent and creativity, especially when it came to nails—often saying, “the flashier, the better.” Whether working her daily job or creating beauty for others, she brought joy, confidence, and laughter everywhere she went.  Those who knew Skye will forever remember her infectious smile, her unmistakable laugh, and her rare gift for lifting the spirits of others. She had a way of making everyone feel seen, valued, and loved.  In 2009, Skye was diagnosed with Lupus and rheumatoid arthritis shortly after the birth of her oldest daughter, Mariah. Despite these challenges, she faced life with strength, resilience, and grace, never allowing her diagnosis to define or limit her. In 2015, she welcomed her second daughter, Savannah.  Her daughters were her heart and soul, and she cherished them deeply. She often reminded them, “I love you to the moon and back.”  Skye will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. While our hearts carry the weight of her absence, we find comfort in the love she gave so freely and the joy she brought into our lives. Her light will continue to shine through the memories we hold and the lives she touched.

Celebration of Life
The family invites all who knew and loved Skye to come together in remembrance and celebration of her beautiful life.  Please come as you are and join us in honoring, remembering, and celebrating the life of
Skye Schumpert
Forever in our hearts

Pearlie Rosner

Pearlie Rosner, 81, of Brenham, passed away peacefully on March 30, 2026. Pearlie was born on December 21, 1944 in Burton, Texas to Rufus and Annie (Koehne) Lange. On June 8, 1963, she married the love of her life, Joseph Rosner, and together they built a life centered on family, love, and simple joys. Pearlie had a deep love for the outdoors, persistently tending to her plants, flowers, and garden. She found great joy in quiet strolls through her garden, admiring the beauty she so carefully cultivated. She had a special fondness for birds—especially hummingbirds—and could often be found watching them gather at her feeders and bird baths. For many years, she also cared for geese, adding even more life and character to her home. Above all, Pearlie was known for her caring and generous spirit. She expressed her love through cooking, always making sure her family was well-fed and cared for. Her kitchen was the heart of her home, where she lovingly prepared meals—particularly her well-loved chicken spaghetti and angel food cake—and made sure no one ever left hungry. Holidays were especially important to her; she cherished having everyone together and made each gathering special with her homemade cheesecake, cookies, and warm hospitality. She was known for sending her granddaughter Christy home with plenty of leftovers during her college years, a simple but meaningful reflection of her constant care. Pearlie also enjoyed life’s little comforts, like her favorite Blue Bell NSA ice cream and the cozy glow of Yankee candles. She loved music and was a devoted fan of Elvis Presley and George Strait. She will be remembered as a woman who always put her family first—someone who showed up in both joyful celebrations and difficult times, offering steady love, support, and kindness. Pearlie was truly a wonderful lady whose legacy lives on through the many lives she touched. Pearlie is preceded in death by her husband, Joseph Rosner; her parents; her brother, Rufus Lange, Jr.; and multiple in-laws. She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Greg and Joyce Rosner of Brenham; her daughter, Lisa Heugatter of Manor; her granddaughter, Christine and her spouse Abbie; her great-grandson, Milo; her sister-in-law, Gladys Lange of Brenham; and numerous nieces, nephews, and other loving relatives.

Mark Whitehead

Mark Whitehead, a devoted husband, father, brother, and steady presence in the lives of all who knew him, passed away on Sunday, March 29 at the age of 65. Mark Kerley Whitehead was born on October 15, 1960, in Brenham, Texas, to Tom S. and Bonnie D. Whitehead. He had a deep love for his hometown and chose to spend his life there, building lasting connections and a legacy in the community he cherished. Mark graduated from Brenham High School as a member of the Class of 1979 and went on to complete his studies through the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service in 1982. Mark spent his lifelong career working as an engineer for his family’s radio stations, KWHI and KTEX, where his steady hands and sharp mind helped keep the voices of the community on the air. He took great pride in his work, often behind the scenes, ensuring everything ran smoothly and reliably. While listeners may not have known his name, they heard the results of his dedication every day. His work was not just a job — it was a quiet contribution to the heartbeat of the community he loved. Mark was a man of quiet strength and deep character. He didn’t seek attention or recognition, but those who knew him understood the depth of his loyalty, his kindness, and his unwavering love. He lived his life not through grand words, but through consistent, faithful actions — showing up, helping, providing, and loving without condition. Mark shared a beautiful love story with his wife, Heidi. From the very beginning, he made it clear that his care came without expectation — only a desire to love and support. Throughout their life together, he remained her constant, her steady ground, and her safe place. Even in the hardest days, that same quiet promise remained between them: “I’ve got you.” He was a proud father and stepfather, embracing the role of building a family with patience and care. He created a home where love was not only spoken, but lived out daily in the small, steady ways that matter most. He was known for his strong faith, his work ethic, his sense of responsibility, and the pride he took in providing for and protecting his family. Whether it was caring for the home, helping with everyday tasks, serving at church, going on mission trips, or simply being present, Mark gave of himself fully and without hesitation. He is survived by his beloved wife, Heidi; his children: Frank (Jenny Downing) Whitehead and Ellen Whitehead (Alex Kluber); his stepchildren: James (Gabby) Baker, Jordyn (Luke) Williams, Stephanie Baker (Christopher Spahn), Jesse Baker, and Jack Baker; and his beloved grandchildren: Levi Baker, LJ Baker, Autumn Martinez, Grant Martinez, Jaxon Spahn, Ryann Whitehead, Solana Williams, Oliver Baker, Charli-Beth Williams, Jace Baker, Audrey Whitehead, and Myles Baker. He is also survived by his brothers and sister-in-law, Tom and Melissa Whitehead and Robert Whitehead; his father- and mother-in-law, Bob and Gherlaine Hofmann; his brother-in-law, Robert (Stephanie) Hofmann; his sister-in-law, Alicyn (Walt) Huddell; his nieces and nephews: Hunter (Carrie) Whitehead, Amy Huddell, Amber (Micah) Skinner, Austen Hofmann, Lillian Hofmann, Kaitlin Whitehead, and Seoul Whitehead; his great-nephew, Trap Whitehead; cousins Terry Junek,  Beverly Derkowski, Linda Baumann, John Swenson and Germaine Swenson. and all those who were fortunate enough to be loved by him. He was preceded in death by his parents, Tom S. and Bonnie D Whitehead, and his sisters-in-law, Kym Whitehead and Amy Hofmann. He leaves behind a legacy not of loud accomplishments, but of something far more lasting: a life built on love, faithfulness, and quiet strength — the kind of life that changes people simply by being present in it. “Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:6). The good work God began in Mark’s life was evident in the way he loved, served, and faithfully showed up for those around him — and now, that work is complete, whole, and at peace in the presence of his Savior. Visitation will be held at Memorial Oaks Chapel Brenham on Friday, April 3 from 4 to 7pm. Services will be Saturday, April 4 at 10am at Center Church Brenham 304 N. Market St with internment to follow at Bethany church Cemetery in Burton. In lieu of flowers, Mark’s wish was that donations be made to Center Church Brenham Building fund in support of a work that mattered deeply to him. Donations can be made on line at https://centerchurchbrenham.churchcenter.com/giving/to/building-fund

Gertrude Hohlt

Gertrude Hohlt, longtime resident of Brenham Texas, died March 15, 2026 in Conroe, Texas at the age of 97. Gertrude was born August 18, 1928 in the German-American farming community of Prairie Hill, Texas to John W. Haas and Frieda Witt Haas. Her first language was German which she spoke until her parents taught her English as they prepared her to start school. She was raised in a Christian family and was baptized and confirmed at St. John's Lutheran Church in Prairie Hill. Growing up she developed a strong sense of family as her parent’s homestead was in walking distance to both sets of grandparents and a multitude of aunts, uncles and cousins.  She was the oldest of three children. Being eight years older than her brother and eighteen years older than her sister, she learned at a young age how to help her parents around the farm and to help take care of her siblings. She attended Prairie Hill schools and enjoyed riding her horse Daisy to classes. Throughout her life, she held on to time-honored values like many members of her generation that grew up during a most challenging era. And despite the many hardships of that time, she had many cherished memories due to her family’s focus on church, family, and community. In her late teens, she began working at the Ben Franklin store in Brenham. One day, while strolling around the courthouse square on a lunch break, she caught the eye of a young soldier from Welcome, Texas who was on leave from Fort Hood in Killeen. After a year or so of dating, she married that soldier, Eugene H. Hohlt, on October 11, 1948 at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Prairie Hill. Gertrude immediately joined Eugene in his travels with the U. S. Army. While initially living at Fort Hood, they soon moved to Schofield Barracks in Honolulu, Hawaii. They remained there for three years where they started their family. Gertrude enjoyed her time there, but couldn’t afford to visit her parents due to a soldier’s modest salary and the high cost of travel in those days. So she missed them greatly. Weekly letters and occasional long distance phone calls were her only means to stay in touch with her beloved family back home. And she had so much to tell and so much to find out. Their next stop was back in the states at Fort Sill in Lawton, Oklahoma. They stayed there for two years and were finally able to drive home occasionally to visit her family in person again. Eventually, they decided it was time to return to civilian life to raise their boys near their families in Washington and Austin counties. They set up housekeeping in Brenham in 1954 and joined St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church where Gertrude was a faithful member for the remainder of her life. In her last year, she resided in Conroe, Texas to be nearer to her surviving son. Gertrude spent most of her adult years taking care of others. She was a devoted and supportive wife, a nurturing stay at home mom, a caring daughter, a loving sister, a doting grandmother and a loyal friend to the many people that she met along her life’s journey. She was a very social person and loved to entertain and visit with relatives, friends and neighbors. She also enjoyed baking, taking care of her pets, and tending to her flower beds and vegetable garden. She loved to sing, dance, play cards and dominoes. She loved to volunteer at her church and in her later years, she enjoyed fellowship at the Senior Center. She lived a very content and humble life. She was never a materialistic or pretentious person, but always kept an orderly and comfortable home in which her family and friends always felt welcome. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, son and daughter-in-law Gary and Mary Hohlt, parents-in-law Robert and Meta Hohlt, brother and sister-in-law Billie and Marlene Haas, sister-in-law and brother-in-law Meta and Henry Schrader, and brother-in-law Robert C. Hohlt. She was also preceded in death by special longtime friend Arthur Fuelberg. Survivors include: her son and daughter-in-law Danny and Claudia Hohlt, her sister and brother-in-law Betty and Fred Kolkhorst, granddaughters Melissa Thomas (Bill), Erin Catchings (Jason), Megan Jones (Kyle), grandson Brian Hohlt, step grandsons Matt Hollech and Ty Thomas, and step granddaughter Melissa Hollech along with nine great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild. She will also be missed by nieces Donna Petrash, Lisa Tarver, and Holly Hawlyruk and nephew Kurt Kolkhorst. Pallbearers will be Anderson Catchings, Jason Catchings, Brian Hohlt, Jacob Hohlt, Kyle Jones, and Bill Thomas. The family would like to express their appreciation to the staff and nurses of Home Select Hospice for the care and support they provided over the past several months. Visitation will be Friday March 20th at 1pm at Brenham Memorial Chapel with funeral services beginning at 2pm with Pastor Pat Dietrich and Pastor Donna Krueger officiating. Burial will follow in Prairie Lea Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, 305 W. Third St., Brenham, TX 77833. Services are in the care of Brenham Memorial Chapel, 2300 Stringer St., Brenham, 77833. 979-836-3611 Condolences may be shared at www.brenhammemorialchapel.com

Frank took pride in honest work, a job done right, and the steady reliability that defined him both in the shop and in life.
He was a true outdoorsman at heart.

Closer to home, he found simple joy in fishing at the tank with his great-nieces and great-nephews, always patient, always present, and always glad to share the moment. Frank also had a deep love for raising livestock and was widely known for his skill and dedication. He excelled in breeding high-quality show lambs and proudly earned multiple Grand and Reserve Champion honors at various county fairs. He was also an expert marksman, and he enjoyed sharing his knowledge and passions -especially with children- always eager to teach, encourage, and pass along what he had learned. Frank was preceded in death by his parents, Julian and Bonnie Levandowski; his grandparents, Wallace and Antonia (Springer) Lewandowski and John Henry and Edith (Humbird) Melton. He is survived by his sisters: Dorthy Heintschel and husband Dale; Theresa "Terry" Kalinowsky and husband Jack; and Sandra "Sandy" Lewis and husband Kenny.

Frank is also survived by his dear friend Becky Eplen; his aunts Janet Levandowski, Mary Newman, and Kathy Rice; and numerous cousins and friends.
Frank "Bubba" Levandowski will be remembered for his steady presence, his love of the outdoors, and the generous way he shared his time and passions with those around him. His legacy lives on in the traditions he helped build, the skills he passed down, and the memories that will be carried forward by all who loved him.
