REMEMBERING JENELL JASTER…

Posted by mllccarmine in Uncategorized September 16, 2025

Jenell Jaster

May 22, 1932 — September 8, 2025

Jenell Louise Freida (Braun) Jaster went to be with her Heavenly Father on September 8, 2025. Jenell was born May 22, 1932 to Alfred and Thusnelda (Peters) Braun of Round Top. Jenell was baptized and confirmed in Bethlehem Lutheran Church of Round Top by Pastor Walter Kralik. Her confirmation verse was Psalm 143:10 “Teach me to do thy will for thou art my God.” Thy spirit is good. Lead me into the land of uprightness.”

Jenell attended elementary school in Round Top and earned her high school diploma from Round Top Carmine High School on May 29, 1950.

Jenell married Clarence Jaster on April 5, 1952 at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Round Top. Together Jenell and Clarence had three daughters; Cheryl of Three Rivers, TX, Bonnie of Pflugerville, TX and Jane of Austin, TX.

While in Brenham, Jenell was first employed at Maddox Furniture Company for several years. Later, she did in-home sewing for Nat’s Tiny Tots, a job she continued after moving to Austin in 1996. While in Austin, Jenell worked for Austin Independent School District for 21 years, retiring on January 29, 1993. Soon thereafter, she and Clarence built a home in Round Top which became the focal point for the gathering of family and friends. There she enjoyed life by creating many crafts, including making Christmas stockings for the entire family. She was an accomplished seamstress who was known not only for her quilting ability but sewed various items ranging from a wedding dress for her daughter to confirmation robes for her church to seasonal decorations for every occasion. She loved gardening and working in her yard. Committed to her church, Immanuel Lutheran in Pflugerville and later in Martin Luther Lutheran Church in Carmine, she generously gave of time, talent and treasure. Jenell served on Altar Guild for many years, was on the Usher team, and folded bulletins and newsletters. She was also a member of the Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (Mary Group). She enjoyed participating in the monthly quilting circle and volunteered at Fishes and Loaves. After Clarence’s passing, Jenell relocated to Round Rock, TX to be closer to family. In her new community she made many friends and enjoyed spending time on her front porch, playing bingo and the nickel game, tending to her flowers, reading and socializing with her neighbors. Her porch was the gathering spot on many evenings. She continued her love of baking and spoiled her friends with her home baked goods (especially her molasses cookies). Her overwhelming generosity and warm heart will be terribly missed by all.

Jenell is survived by her daughter and sons-in-law Cheryl & Mac Johanson, Bonnie & Mark Sassman and Jane & Stephen Greinert; grandchildren Joshua & Tina Johanson, Jamie & Colby Braune, Chris & Cassidy Greinert and Michael Greinert, Matthew & Lorena Sassman and Maggie Sassman; great grandchildren Alyssa Johanson, Dale Johanson, Barrett Braune, Claire Braune, Hector Garcia Jr., and Mina Sassman; and sister Gloria Fay.

Jenell was preceded in death by her parents Alfred and Thusnelda, husband Clarence and sisters Nelvira and Ira Bell.

Serving as pallbearers are Joshua Johanson, Colby Braune, Chris Greinert, Michael Greinert, Matt Bathe and James Wolff.

Visitation will be on Monday, September 15, 2025 from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm at Memorial Oaks Chapel located at 1306 West Main Street, Brenham, Texas.

A celebration of life is scheduled for Tuesday, September 16, 2025 at 10:30 am at Martin Luther Lutheran Church located at 211 Lutheran Lane, Carmine, Texas.

The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses at Baylor Scott & White Round Rock Hospital, especially Nurse Jordan and Dr. Gayathri Swamy.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be directed to Martin Luther Lutheran Church, Carmine, TX.

Funeral services for Jenell Jaster are entrusted to Memorial Oaks Chapel, 1306 W. Main, Brenham, TX. To post a tribute to the family visit www.memorialoakschapel.com.

Remembering Val Hinze…

Posted by mllccarmine in Uncategorized August 21, 2025

Val G. Hinze was born November 29,1930 to Elsie Schroeder and Willie A. Hinze on the family farm. Val was very proud of working to have the family property recognized as a Century Farm through Family Land Heritage Program. Growing up on the farm instilled a love for animals, a green thumb for gardening, and an appreciation for nature in general. He was usually accompanied by family pets, usually his dogs, on trips through fields, woods, and never turned down an opportunity to fish or hunt.

Val graduated from Burton High School and was drafted to serve his country in July of 1952 serving in the Korean War. He utilized his farm knowledge in working as a utility repairman to keep things up and running. Anyone knowing Val would laugh that one of the recognitions he received was a “Good Conduct Medal”.

Once Val returned home, he resumed work on his education by attending Blinn Jr College, and completed his education at Sam Houston State University with a Bachelor of Science and later his Master’s Degree. Val earned his teaching certificate and started a lifetime career of teaching, teaching science in Richards, Needville, Palacios, and Moulton school districts. Over 30 years later, Val retired from teaching while living in Moulton so he could resume those trips back to the farm for work and fishing as often as possible. There was no idle time as he was constantly tinkering on something in his shop or barn, or dreaming up a wood working project. His greatest woodworking projects were made from cedar which was harvested from family property and milled into lumber. It was during his teaching at Moulton that he met Thelma Fowler, a new teacher to Moulton, at none other than a faculty meeting.

It seems there were many minds working together to get these two together, and on June 6, 1965 Thelma and Val were married. In January of 1968 they welcomed the arrival of their daughter, Jennifer. During their time in Moulton Val served his community with several terms on the Moulton City Council. Once Thelma retired from teaching, they moved back to the farm. It was at this time Val became a member of the American Legion Quade Werchan Post 338, was a member of the local Young Farmers Chapter, and again set up gardening and every time he went to “check cows”, a fishing pole was placed in the back of his Mule, or his dog was placed by his side for the adventure. As Val aged, holding a vast array of knowledge, he was affectionately referred to by Jennifer and David as “The Supervisor”, as much of their farm work required adequate supervision to ensure they were doing things correctly.

Val passed away July 27, 2025 at Schulenburg Regency Nursing Home at the age of 94. Val is survived by his wife of 60 years, Thelma Hinze and daughter Jennifer and husband David Mohr of Carmine. Val was preceded in death by his parents Elsie and Willie A. Hinze, sister Ruth Bayer, and brother Willie L. Hinze, Sr.

Pallbearers will be Howard Hinze, Austin Miller, Robert Hinze, Chad Pasak, Chuck Vincik, Austin Eaton, and Honorary pallbearer Kenneth Fishbeck. The family extends a heartfelt thank you to the staff at Schulenburg Regency Nursing Center and Hospice of South Texas.

In lieu of flowers, family asks that donations be made to Gardenia Janssen Animal Shelter in LaGrange or to Hospice of South Texas, or any of their regions in Texas.

Visitation will be at Martin Luther Lutheran Church in Carmine, Texas beginning at 2:00pm on Friday, August 1st.

Funeral services will also be at Martin Luther Lutheran Church in Carmine beginning at 3:00pm on Friday, August 1st. Burial will take place with military honors at the Carmine Cemetery. Karen Buck will be officiating.

Services are in the care of Brenham Memorial Chapel, 2300 Stringer St., Brenham, TX 77833. 979.836.3611 Condolences may be shared at http://www.brenhammemorialchapel.com

Dear Friends in Christ,

I write to inform you that I have accepted the call to serve as pastor of Christ Lutheran Church of Elm Creek, Seguin, Texas. My final Sunday at worship will be February 9, 2025. I look forward to seeing you during this final month before I complete my time among you.

During these many years together, you have welcomed me into your lives in numerous joyful, difficult, important, and/or sacred moments. These holy times, such as funerals, illnesses, emergencies, hospitalizations, baptisms, weddings, worship services, Bible studies, and more, have served to help all of us draw closer to Christ. Additionally, these have provided opportunities to build connections between you and me. I am humbled and honored to have been welcomed into these various moments of your faith and life.

I am ever thankful for your prayers, words of encouragement, reverent feedback, and steadfast partnership in the Gospel over our years together. It means the world to me, and to any pastor, when the people of the congregation show up for worship on the weekend, volunteer for ministries and outreach, welcome visitors, show heartfelt love for one another, serve neighbors in need, and more as they live out their faith.

I give thanks for our life together, and I pray for you, the people of Martin Luther and Waldeck, in your discernment of pastoral needs for the future.

Yours, in Christ’s Service,

Pastor David Tinker

THE OBITUARY

Alvis Roy Mueller

June 16, 1936 — December 18, 2024

Alvis Roy Mueller (88) of Carmine, Texas was called home by His Heavenly Father on December 18, 2024, at Baylor Scott & White Hospital in College Station, Texas.

Alvis was born on June 15, 1936, to John and Ida (Stebner) Mueller at home in the La Bahia/Burton Texas area. He started his education at Boundary School and Burton Elementary. When the family moved to the Carmine, Texas area, he continued his education at the Round Top-Carmine junior high and high school. After Alvis graduated from Round Top-Carmine high school in 1955, he continued his education by studying Education at Blinn College for 2 years and then Sam Houston State Teachers College.

After receiving his Master of Education degree from Sam Houston State Teachers College, he started his first job at Round Top-Carmine high school on September 6, 1960, as a math and driver’s education teacher and principal. In addition to teaching and administrative responsibilities, he coached both boys basketball and baseball. After a month of teaching, he was drafted by the United States government to serve in the US Army achieving the rank of Sergeant First Class. He was stationed at Fort Polk, Louisiana for twelve months before being assigned to the Army National Guard. He was a member of the 49th Armored Division as a squad leader.

Upon returning from serving his country, Alvis, resumed his teaching/coaching and leadership roles at Round Top- Carmine high school in 1962, kickstarting a 32-year career in education in this school district. He furthered his education by attending the University of Arkansas on his summer breaks and obtained his superintendent certification in 1969. Alvis touched many students’ lives through his 30 plus years in education. Many remember him from his numerous math classes, driver’s education courses, and coaching them in sports. A few students even have memories of him from their trips to the principal’s office where they were introduced to his paddle with his initials “ARM” on it, which he jokingly referred to it as the long ARM of the law.

From his actions to others, people knew Alvis was a devoted Christian man. He was baptized into the Christian faith on November 22, 1936, at Martin Luther Lutheran Church in Carmine, Texas. He later confirmed his Christian faith at the same church on September 24, 1950. Alvis was an active member of this church until his death and participated in the church as a church council member, Sunday School teacher, Brotherhood/Men in Mission member, and sang in the church choir. Alvis’ passion for service touched him to lead the Port of Houston Seafarers boxes for numerous years at the church.

In addition to being actively involved at the high school in Carmine, he was also very active in the community by being a charter member of the Carmine Lions Club, where he served numerous leadership roles as well as the Carmine Volunteer Fire Department, Young Farmers, and served on the Board of Directors for the Fayette County Farm Bureau. Alvis loved animals and wildlife and was a member of the Sandtown Wildlife Association. He continued his love and support for his country by being actively involved for 42 consecutive years in leadership roles in the American Legion Quade-Werchan Post #338. Alvis also remained connected with fellow service members through his involvement with the 49th Armored Division National Guard Reunion Committee.

In his early adulthood, he loved to travel, the US states and abroad, often taking his family with him on these trips. He enjoyed participating in community sports, playing volleyball, baseball and softball. He also enjoyed crappie fishing and water skiing on Somerville Lake on his boat.

In 1994, Alvis retired from his career at school and spent his time taking care of his mother until her passing in 1996. His retirement allowed him to become more involved in farming and ranching. During his retirement years, he really enjoyed tending to his cattle, many times sitting on the back of his truck and handfeeding range cubes to his tame cattle. He enjoyed the comradery of the small towns in his area with friends and relatives at local restaurants and stores.

Alvis loved animals and you would see him frequently driving around with one of his canine friends riding shotgun in the front seat. He also loved listening to the radio where some of his favorite programs were the Country Store, Rush Limbaugh and all other Republican talk-show hosts. Another favorite on the radio was Polka Time, where he often made birthday dedications for his family members.

Alvis was very independent and enjoyed living on his own until six months ago when his health declined.

Alvis was predeceased by his parents, brother, J.D. Mueller and sister-in-law, Shirley Fuchs Mueller, brother- in-law, J.C. Pohl, and great niece, Karlee Layne Peters.

Left to mourn are his sister, Avalda Pohl; nieces, Debbie Eckert and husband Ronnie, Renee Mueller, Connie Peters and husband Michael, Jill Finke and husband Rodney and nephew Jody Pohl and wife Evelyn.

In addition to his family, Alvis touched many lives through his 30 plus years of teaching at Round Top-Carmine high school as a teacher, coach, principal and friend. Missing his loving touch will be his dog, Speckles, and his numerous cats.

Pallbearers include his great nephews: Andrew Eckert, Joshua Eckert, Joey Pohl, Jared Pohl, Ryan Finke and Grant Finke. Honorary pallbearers are his great nieces: Brooke Klausmeyer, Kayla Peters and Jordan Peters.

Let us Give Thanks to the Lord

Thanksgiving Eve Worship Service – November 27 – 7 p.m.

You are invited to attend the annual Thanksgiving Eve service this Wednesday, November 27, 2024. The service will be held at 7:00 p.m. at the building of our partner church, Waldeck Evangelical Lutheran Church. That church is located at 6915 Waldeck Church Lane. This is at the intersection of FM 2145 and FM 1291, just 6.5 miles south of Ledbetter.

Again this year is that we have invited the other two churches from the Crossroads Shared Lutheran Ministries to worship with us. The people of St. Paul Lutheran in Shelby and Bethlehem Lutheran in Round Top will join with us for this special time of giving thanks. Of course, all from the community are invited to participate, even if they are not members of any of these four churches.

Even with the busy schedule of the holiday, it is good to take a notable pause to gather for worship, to pray, to thank Lord, to show our thanks in the Holy Communion, and more. So, just before the big day, our national day of Thanksgiving, take time to gather with one another to thank the Lord and sing his praise.
