Nadine Koenig

FUNERAL SERVICES:  10:00 A.M. Thursday, January 10, 2019, at Comanche Funeral Home Chapel. BURIAL:  Saint John's Lutheran Cemetery in Priddy, Texas. Nadine Koenig, age 80, passed away on Thursday, January 3, 2019, in Dublin, Texas. Nadine was born in 1938 in a little town called Priddy, Texas.  She was raised on a farm in a house without electricity.  She had very little growing up.  Her uncle would bring them a box of presents at Christmas and she always remembered how special that was. At the age of twelve or thirteen her family moved to Houston.  A home with electricity and in home water.  She met Louis Koenig, her neighbor, and it was love.  They married on August 9, 1958.  In 1959 I was born.  We lived there until 1982.  They bought a home in Dublin, Texas, and have resided there for over thirty years.  Nadine was a kind, caring woman. She put her family first and gave everything she could above and beyond.  She was a homemaker, a skilled cook and devoted mother and wife.  She loved Hope Lutheran Church.  Her favorite flower was the 4 o’clocks that grow wild in the front yard.  She loved Mexican food and fried chicken. She was a remarkable woman from whom I get my strength, and our lives are better for knowing her. There is an empty space no-one can fill.  I read once the definition of a lady was a woman who tried to make everyone else comfortable. My mother was a true lady.  She was kind to everyone. Rest in peace my beloved mother. She is survived by her husband, William Koenig of Dublin, Texas; daughter and son-in-law, Sandra Marie Koenig and Chuck Olney of Dublin, Texas; adopted sons, Trey Stelma of Vicksburg, Mississippi and Frank Don Watson of Alvin, Texas; brother, Walter Johnson of Houston, Texas; sister, Lois Teresa Zille of Weismar, Germany; and numerous nieces and nephews.
