Bio

Lorene Sassin Funeral Services Held Jan. 19 A funeral Mass was conducted by Father John Bily at St. Michael's Church on Jan. 19 for a life long resident of Weimar, Mrs. Lorene (Williams) Sassin. Burial was at the Weimar Masonic [Odd Fellows] Cemetery. Lorene was born on Oct. 18, 1927 in Weimar to Neta Clare (DeFoor) and Walter W. Williams. She passed away on Jan. 16 at the age of 78. Lorene's education started in the Weimar Public Schools and she graduated from Weimar High School in 1947. She continued her education at Southwest Texas in San Marcos earning her teaching certificate. She used that certificate to teach at the Svetlo School just southwest of Weimar. Some of her fondest memories were of her students at that school. She was a past grand-regent and member of the Catholic Daughters and a current member of the Red Hat Ladies. Lorene was a "people person" so when she decided to sell Avon Products she excelled as a sales representative for over 33 years. As many people in the Weimar community knew, Lorene loved to drive her car, even if the route was the same everyday. She truly enjoyed the countryside of her town! The horses, cows, donkeys, Clydesdales and hay meadows were some of the things she talked about continuously, not to mention her latest cat, B. C. who was a constant companion and still waits for her return. Lorene's husband of 49 years, Willie J. (Bill) Sassin, passed away Feb. 14, 1998. She is survived by four daughters, Tracy Janak of Houston, Eileen Sassin of Weimar, Lois Sassin of Sugarland, Frances Ratliff and husband Jeff of Snellville, Ga.; one son, David Sassin and wife Leza of Weimar; and three grandchildren Angela Ballew and husband Charles of Cold Spring and their daughter, Ashlynn, the only great-grandchild; Kevin Cernoch and his wife Jennifer of Hutto and Sarah Anderson of Snellville, Ga. She is also survived by her sister, Billie Arnold and husband Lloyd; brother, Wayne Williams and wife Jean; brother-in-law, W. O. (Sonny) Hoegemeyer; sisters-in-law, Geogia[sic] (Sassin) Kossa and Viola Sassin as well as many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her sister, Ellen Marie Hoegemeyer; and brothers-in-law, John Sassin and Jerome Kossa.

The Family sincerely appreciates all the special attention our mother received over the years as she was able to maintain her independence,as he white-haired lady in the Blue Buick!.
