Remmert, Gene Alton (1936-2020)
[Veteran] Korea, US Army, 1955-58 [Family] Father: Alvin Otto Remmert, Mother: Leona Lucille Meinecke, Spouse: Betty [Cemetery] Sealy Cemetery () , FG
Gene Alton Remmert, 84, of Sealy, Texas, went to his heavenly home in the morning on Saturday, November 7, 2020. Gene graduated from Sealy High School in 1954 where he was elected as senior class president, received an American Legion Citizenship Award, sang in the choir, and was on the football, baseball, and track teams. After graduating, he attended Blinn College where he was a bass soloist in the choir and was voted runner up to Mr. Buccaneer in 1956.
Gene honorably served his country in the U.S. Army from 1956-1958. He completed basic training at Fort Carson, Colorado where he was named top trainee of his Company. He was stationed for 18 months in Germany with the 12th Combat Engineer Battalion, and was selected to attend the US Army Engineer School for Mines and Demolitions Warfare. A dedicated student, he finished as the top graduate and later taught classes back at Battalion.
Upon returning home, Gene worked at Cameron Iron Works in Houston and Cypress for 35 years, between 1958-1992. While at Cameron, Gene was a hard, loyal worker who ascended the company ladder. As the superintendent of Manufacturing- Ingot and Bar Products, he was involved in projects that manufactured the materials for such devices as the Titan IIIC solid fuel tanks for the moon shot, the Apollo 13 oxygen system, and the Trieste Recovery Module for the lost Trident nuclear submarine. And as the manager of Industrial Engineering- Ingot, Bar, and Pipe, he developed engineering database computer programs for cost development. After Cameron shut down its melting operations in 1986, Gene moved to a new role in procurement.
He loved and was enthusiastically involved in his hometown community where he always kept busy. He served on the county school board for four years, was very involved at Trinity Lutheran, holding various positions over the years, and was president of several local institutions, including the Sealy JC Chapter at the time that Levine City Park was developed, Sealy Little League when the Peewee and Minor League programs were developed, and, as a Brangus farmer and breeder, was also President of the Texas Bluebonnet Brangus Association.
A mindful and skilled Brangus breeder, he was one of the five Brangus breeders who developed the Angus Plus Breed that is now known as Ultra Blacks. In 1983, he bred and raised the International Brangus Futurity Grand Champion Bull, BG Vaquero (or, as he called him, Bubba). Gene also went on to win the 1985 Outstanding Conservation Rancher Award. He was a board member of the Austin County Fair for eight years, and served for two years as the Livestock Superintendent. In addition to all of this, he was a member of the Sealy Volunteer Fire Department for over ten years, and could be found, on many mornings sharing coffee with close friends at the Truck Stop.
Gene and Betty, his wife of 62 years, built their home and farm together in Sealy in 1973 where he achieved all of his childhood ambitions- to raise good cattle, good grass, and good hay, and to marry a wonderful, loving Christian wife, and raise a family.
Gene was a strong and loving Christian husband, father, and grandfather who touched the lives of many, whether through his singing in the church choir, his service to his community, or his storytelling. He is survived and remembered lovingly by his wife, Betty; his children, Clint and Tammy; and his five grandchildren.
We have too many happy, cherished memories with our Papa to list them all here. A few we all share are afternoons riding on his lap in the tractor, fetching him cold beers from the fridge, and watching storms roll in with him from the garage. We may have known just how to press his buttons, but it was always out of love. And, of course, Papa was a good sport. He taught us how to have big hearts, serve God, love our families, work hard, and cherish all the good we have on Earth. We'll carry him with us for the rest of our lives, and will always keep telling his stories. We love you, Papa. Love, your tootlehanses- Trent, Hannah, Garrett, Sam, and Nicole.
Visitation is scheduled for Wednesday, November 11, 2020, from 5-00 PM - 7-00 PM at Trinity Lutheran Church, 402 Atchison St., Sealy, TX. A funeral service will be held at the church at 10-00 AM on Thursday, November 12, 2020. Burial will be in Sealy Cemetery. Due to Covid regulations, masks and social distancing will be required.

A man beloved by those around him, he was born on March 20, 1955, to Manuel Sr. and Francis Resendez of Nada, Texas. He was always a hard-working family man, who was mechanically inclined, which drove him to start his own business. In 1988 Manuel's Lawn Mowers emerged, a haven where his love for small engines and his knack for restoration converged into a sanctuary of craftsmanship and reliability and the occasional card game. Manuel was a member of the Knights of Columbus and Immaculate Conception Church.
Manuel was known for being the life of the party, his love of Polka music, and being the Grill Master. He was part of the BBQ grill team for the parish bazaar. He hosted his family's Easter and Thanksgiving gatherings, always bringing a smile to everyone's face with his humor and wit. His easy-going nature and ability to bring joy to those around him will be remembered fondly by all who knew him.
He was the beloved husband of Diane, and cherished father to Nicholas, Ashley, Lindsey, Ashley and Charlie. Manuel was a loving grandfather to Tyler Resendez, Marissa Resendez, Acelynn Jackson, AJ Jackson, Anthony Jackson, Abbie Jackson, Adrian Jackson, Andrew Jackson, Ryan Garcia, Brooklynn Brandes, Lili Aguilar, and Maddie Aguilar. He is survived by his brother and six sisters. Bea, Rosie, Lydia, Louis, Louisa, Mary, and Lisa. He will be deeply missed by his family.
He is preceded in death by his sons Nicholas and Charlie. As well as his dad Manuel Resendez, and his mother and father-in-law Joe and Henrietta Rychlik. Manuel's presence at family gatherings and his role as the glue that kept everyone together during the holidays will be greatly missed.
As we mourn the loss of a devoted husband, a loving father, dear friend and a pillar of strength, let us take solace in the countless lives he enriched and the profound legacy he leaves behind. Though he may no longer walk among us, his spirit will forever illuminate our hearts, guiding us through our lives with the same unwavering determination that defined his existence.

Rhine, Diane Lynette (Spencer) (1947-2015)
Maiden Name: Spencer [Family] Father: Horace Spencer, Mother: Marie, Spouse: Jack Rhine ()
Bellville Times
Diane Lynette Spencer Rhine, 67, passed away March 2, 2015 in the comfort of her home. A memorial service has been scheduled for 10-30 a.m., Saturday, March 7, 2015 at Christ Lutheran Church with Pastor Mark Groves officiating. Visitation is scheduled for Friday evening from 5-00 - 7-00 at Memorial Oaks Chapel.
Diane Rhine was born July 17, 1947 in Houston, Texas to loving parents Horace and Marie Spencer. Born and raised in Houston, she graduated from Sam Houston High School in 1965 and attended Southwest Texas State thereafter.
On June 9, 1978, Diane married the love of her life and soul mate, Jack Rhine. Together they loved to travel and enjoy life. Their adventures took them across the country from Maine to Colorado and Wyoming, as well as one of her favorite destinations - Alaska - which they visited more than once.
Diane, although born a city girl, became a country girl at heart when she moved to Industry, Texas in 1984. She enjoyed working with cattle and a simpler country life. As with any new adventure, she immediately immersed herself into the community.
Her life was one devoted to service and helping others. She never met a stranger and had a way of making everyone feel special and loved. She joined the local Extension Education Association and was an active member for over 30 years. For several years, she served on the Austin County Fair Board of Directors; a position she thoroughly enjoyed. She was a member of Aggie Mom's Club and delighted in being part of this journey with her daughter, Kimberly. Many hours were spent baking communion bread for Sunday services, volunteering or serving when needed at the church, and serving on the Christ Lutheran Day School Board.
Genealogy was an avid hobby of hers and countless hours were spent tracing family lineages. This passion also led Diane and Jack on adventures around the country in search of the next puzzle piece of family histories. In this pursuit, she joined the Spencer Historical Society and served as treasurer. She was a proud member of DRT - The Daughters of the Republic of Texas and DAR - The Daughters of the American Revolution.
On top of all of her accomplishments and achievements, the crowning moment of her life was the birth of her grandson Parker, which gave her the honored title of “Sugarâ€. Countless hours were spent playing, painting, exploring, and living life through the eyes of a child. She relished every moment spent with the center of her universe. Her only regret was that the countless plans she had for the two of them will go unfulfilled.
Survivors include her loving husband Jack G. Rhine; daughter and son-in-law Kimberly McPherson Kenjura and husband Gregory and grandson Parker Harrison of Brenham, Texas; brother and sister-in-law Robert Spencer and Carolyn of Seabrook, Texas; nephew Erik Spencer and friend Loan Tran, as well as many treasured cousins and special family friends. She was preceded in death by her parents.
Serving as honorary pallbearers are Robert Spencer, Gregory Kenjura, Johnny Dlouhy, Charles Leamons, Perry Post, and Robert Hajek.
Memorials may be directed to The American Cancer Society, Christ Lutheran Day School or Hospice Brazos Valley.

Rosenbaum, David (1957-2024)
[Family] Father: Ray Rosenbaum, Mother: Henrietta, Spouse: Donna Jones () [COD] Heart attack
The Bible says that David was “a man after God’s own heart”. Of course, this is in reference to King David but we believe this is also true of our beloved David Rosenbaum.
David went to be with the Lord on Monday, August 26, 2024. He passed away in his home from a massive heart attack. David was a lifelong Needville resident and well-known and loved in the Needville community. David was born on October 10, 1957.
David is preceded by the death of his father, Ray Rosenbaum, and is survived by his wife Donna Jones Rosenbaum, Mother, Henrietta Rosenbaum, children, daughter Terrin Pagel (Scott Pagel), and son Bret Rosenbaum. Grandchildren: J’Lynn Esman, Lane Rosenbaum, Luke Rosenbaum and Blayke Pagel. Sister, Shirley Fishbeck (Frank), brother Alan Rosenbaum (Sharon), Nieces and Nephews, Jennifer Fishbeck, Dustin Rosenbaum, Megan Rosenbaum, Taylor Rosenbaum and multiple aunts, cousins, in-laws and great nieces and nephews. David and his family have been lifelong members of the Methodist Church in Needville.
David graduated from Needville High School in 1977 and then went on to graduate from the Columbia School of Broadcasting. When David completed Columbia, he then started a radio job in Monroe, Louisiana. After living in Louisiana for a while David returned to Needville and went to work at Jefferson Sulphur Plant and shortly after that went to work with Miller Beer at Delmar Distributing.
After David left Miller, he went to work with his father and brother-in-law’s company Rex Mechanical in 1995 and stayed there until he retired at the age of 62 in 2020.
In 1980, David met the love of his life Donna and once they started dating, they were destined for marriage, and they were married in Needville at the Methodist Church on November 29, 1981.
David and Donna enjoyed life and in 1983 had their first child, a daughter, Terrin, and in 1987 their son Bret. They have lived on Union Street in Needville for 35+ years.
David loved sports. He was an avid fan of the Houston Oilers and Houston Texans, Astros, College Football, Houston Rockets, College Basketball, Needville High School football, and other sports. You name the sport, and David knew something about the team, players, and their records. His love for sports took him to travel to games in Houston and other areas of Texas. When Needville went to the playoffs David was there. David also would enjoy a good bet on a game now and then. He was known to have a couple of televisions going at home for different NFL/College games going on at the same time.
David also enjoyed playing pool with his wife and family. Fishing and traveling with his best friend, Matt Barger, was always a favorite pastime for David. David loved his family. He loved fishing with his brother, Alan, and taking his son and grandsons fishing too. David and Donna would have their children in Needville sports and attend most games they played.
David commitment to his family and friends was extraordinarily consistent. He would do anything for people and was always there to help. He loved God first, followed quickly by his family and his neighbors more than himself. It wasn’t unusual for David to spend all weekend at family events; weddings, backyard BBQs, family and friend’s birthdays, or just a nice visit at their home.
After retirement, David kept himself busy with his family and hobbies. He was constantly doing things with his children and his grandchildren. Just like with his children, David attended sporting and school events for his grandchildren. He took them fishing and to sporting events frequently. In addition to sports, fishing, travel and festivities, David shared his time with his sister Shirley and brother Alan taking care of their beloved Mom, Henrietta. These were special times for David on his weekly visits with his Mom at home.
As stated earlier, David Rosenbaum too was “a man after God’s own heart”. Because he loved God and believed God, David knew that the way he treated his wife, children, grandkids, family, and neighbors was a direct reflection of his heart.
After his passing, we know David was smiling that wonderful smile and that the Lord was smiling back and confirming that David was a good and faithful servant for His glory.

THE LAMPASAS RECORD
THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 1933
Miss Irene Ruff Died Last Saturday
Saturday morning, June 10, at 11-05 o'clock death relieved the suffering of Miss Irene Ruff, as her spirit went out to meet the Creator, whom she had prepared to meet many years earlier in life. Death followed an illness of only a few days, although she had not been in perfect health for quite awhile. A fall from a table in the home two weeks ago injured her and that is believd to have agravated the malady that was working on her and caused her serious illness and in the end, death.
Miss Ruff was born in Galveston July 18, 1873 and was nearing her 60th year. She spent a long period of her life at Sealy where both parents died and were buried. She was never married, and for the past twenty-five years had lived in Lampasas, keeping house for her brother, George R. Ruff, who has been with the Santa Fe here all that time. She was a quiet, unassuming woman who was dearly loved by all who were closely associated with her. She had been a member of the Episcopal church since a young girl and lived a true christian life.
Funeral services were conducted by her pastor, the Rev. Wentworth A. Riemann, at the home Saturday evening at 8-00 o'clock. The body was then carried to Sealy and services conducted at the grave Sunday morning it having been her request that she be buried by her parents when she passed away. The body was accompanied to Sealy by her brother, her neice, Miss Maurine Zaring, whom she and Mr. Ruff have reared from a small child and Rev. Riemann.
Besides her brother, Geroge R., and her neice, Miss Zaring, deceased is survived by another brother, C. O Ruff, and a nephew, R. H. Ruff, of Ft. Worth. These men and their wives were here for the funeral service Saturday evening.
The Record joins the many friends of the loved ones of this good woman in sympathy in this hour of deep sorrow.
