Hazel Lehman, dedicated matriarch to the Lehman family, passed away at her home, as she wished, in Kyle, on Tuesday, January 1, 2019. She was 89 years old.
Hazel was born at her parent’s farmhouse in Uhland, Texas on November 19, 1929 to Alfred and Edith (Hofheinz) Lippe. Her family moved to their farm in Kyle in 1939. She graduated from Kyle High School in 1947. At the age of 19, Hazel married Theodore Lehman on June 16, 1948. In 1963 she and Ted moved back to the farm in Kyle and into the house where she was raised. This house is where she and Ted raised their family and lived until his death on June 14, 2006. Shortly thereafter, Hazel built a new house on the same piece of property where she had lived so many years of her life. She was a farmer’s wife and never had a job outside of the home. She dedicated her life to caring for her beloved husband and family. She loved all children but especially loved spending time with her grandkids, and later, her great grandkids. Her life truly revolved around her family and she was a wonderful cook and homemaker. She loved to bake, and there was never a time that there was not some kind of homemade goodie in the house for the family to enjoy. She was very active in Kyle Methodist Church and spent many hours volunteering in various projects related to the Church. She also spent many hours playing cards and dominos with her friends, and in her later years, this was one of her favorite activities. Hazel was preceded in passing by her parents, her husband Theodore, and her son Harold.
Hazel’s amazing live will be forever celebrated by her children; Larry Lehman and his wife Robbie, Peggy Jansen and her husband Jim, her grandchildren, Lori Huff and her husband, Heath, Laci Bracewell and her husband, Bradley, JP Jansen and his wife, Dena, Blake Jansen and his wife, Kristen and Lindsey Dusek and her husband, Brad. She will also be remembered by her twelve great-grandchildren as was as her many friends within the community.
