Bio

Dolores Ann Bierschenk Gremminger October 28, 1930 ~ December 12, 2022 Dolores Gremminger, 92, passed away December 12, 2022 in Lewisville, Texas. She was born October 28, 1930 in Lindsay, Texas to Joe and Matilda Koelzer Bierschenk. On November 4, 1948 she and G. F. "Shorty" Gremminger were married in Weatherford, Texas. They were a team for the following 58 years as they made a life together owning and managing dairy, livestock and crop farms and raising their family of seven children. They moved to Hill County in the 1950's and lived in Hillsboro for many years until Shorty preceded her in death on July 28, 2007. She was a long-time parishioner of Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church, where she was a member of the Catholic Daughters and the Altar Society. Dolores was a devoted wife, loving mother, and friend to many. She was a strong woman who worked diligently to sustain her family. Like most women of her generation, she knew how to cook, grow fruits and vegetables, preserve food, sew garments, drive a tractor and care for livestock. Because she understood and enjoyed bookkeeping and accounting, she also managed the bookkeeping for the family farm. She enhanced those skills by completing related business courses at Hill College. She worked for many years as the Bookkeeper for Fleming Lumber Co in Hillsboro. Some of her family's fondest memories are of the delicious pies she constantly made for her husband and family (every Sunday dinner included multiple pies) as well as the fruit jelly and the cinnamon rolls she made from scratch mostly because her grand children loved them! In addition to her husband, Shorty Gremminger, she was preceded in death by sons-in-law, Robert Remkes and Kenny Farthing. Survivors include her children, Kathryn Remkes, Diane Farthing, Larry, Raymond and James Gremminger, Mary Lewis and Brenda Schwartz, 17 grand children, 23 great-grand children, her sister, Louise Neu and brother, Lawrence Bierschenk. Service: January 4, 2023 in Hillsboro. Burial immediately following at the Hillcrest Garden of Memory near Hillsboro, Texas...M_M
