Myrtle A. Hobratsch Hartman was born June 3, 1922, the first of five children, to Herman and Emilie Kalmbach Hobratsch in Walburg, TX.
Myrtle was baptized on June 18, 1922 at Zion Lutheran Church, Walburg. She was confirmed April 5, 1936, at Zion. She married Ben Hartman on December 8, 1946 at Zion, Walburg.
Myrtle was preceded in death by Ben, her husband of 50 years, on November 18, 1996, and by her parents, Herman and Emilie Hobratsch, sister Irene Bredthauer Brayne, and brother Harry Hobratsch. She is survived by three daughters, Carolyn and husband Ken Williamson of Rogers, AR; Jean and husband John Patrouch of Spokane, WA; and Renee and husband Gary Gibbs of Georgetown, and two grandchildren, Emilia and Benjamin Gibbs of Georgetown. Also five step-grandchildren and 10 step-great grandchildren and one step-great great grandchild; she is also survived by one sister LaVerne Domel, one brother
Raymond Hobratsch and wife Viola, and sister-in-law Elenora Hobratsch.
Myrtle was a lifelong member of Zion Lutheran Church, Walburg. She was a member of the Zion Glorious Circle and served on its executive board several years.
In her younger years, she was a member of the church choir and a life member of the VFW Ladies Auxiliary Post 8587 of Georgetown.
In 1942 at the age of 20, Myrtle moved to Washington D.C. where she worked in the Pentagon as a clerk-typist during WWII. During the next four years, she traveled to many exciting cities on the East Coast. She had many happy memories of trips to New York City, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, and Boston.
In 1946, Myrtle returned to Walburg and soon met her future husband, Ben Hartman, on a double-blind date. She said she had hoped her date was the tall dark-haired suitor, but instead she was paired with the shorter redhead. Even so, Ben's sweet romantic letters won her over and six months later they married in Walburg. They soon settled south of Georgetown on a farm. Three years later, Myrtle and Ben started their family and lived in Central Texas the rest of their lives. During these years, at times, Myrtle worked outside the home at retail and secretarial jobs. For pleasure, she often played dominoes, and up to a few years ago, was known for a mean game of 42!
Myrtle and her daughters want to thank everyone for their visits, cards, and prayers in her twilight years at Wesleyan. We want to thank the Wesleyan staff for their loving care. We especially thank her brother Ray and wife Viola who helped her so much after Ben died, and visited her often at Wesleyan; her sister LaVerne for the many beautiful cards, visits and calls; and the Hobratsch family, Elenora and children for their visits. This meant a lot to Myrtle these last years of her life.
Visitation: 6pm-8pm Wednesday April 27 at The Gabriels Funeral Chapel, Georgetown, TX. Burial: 2:30pm Thursday, April 28 at Zion Lutheran Cemetery followed by a memorial service and fellowship at 3:30pm at Zion Lutheran Church, Walburg.
