Lillian Pistler Hintz

She was born in Anderson, Texas on December 26, 1926, to Will and Emma (Boehm) Pistler. She graduated from Anderson High School in 1944 and received her Bachelor of Business Administration Degree from Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas in 1947.

On December 21, 1946, Lillian married her beloved husband, Ernest Hintz, at Zion Lutheran Church in Anderson, Texas. They spent 70 years of a happy marriage together. They were blessed with a wonderful daughter, Sandra Dianne, who passed away on April 3, 1996, at the age of 46. This was such a tragedy in Lillian's life; one that she never really overcame. She shared a very close relationship with her son-in-law, Bill and his wife, Shirley, and grandchildren, Ryan and Marla and their families.

After graduating from college, Lillian and Ernest moved to Groesbeck, Texas where she taught school for 28 years. She was a dedicated teacher and with positive reinforcement encouraged her students to perform to the best of their abilities. Her students received many University Interscholastic League (U.I.L.) Awards; many advancing to the State Meet.

In 1980, she and her husband moved to Austin, Texas to be near their family. She taught school in Leander, Texas until her retirement in 1983. She and her family were members of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Austin, Texas.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Ernest Hintz; her parents; her daughter, Sandra Hintz Richardson; her brother and sister-in-law, Lonnie and Elsie Pistler; brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Otto and Alma Lingnau, Martin and Ella Jacob, Bill and Ruby Hintz, Ted and Ruth Tarkon, and Charles and Mildred Yarbrough.

She is survived by her son-in-law, Bill Richardson and wife Shirley of Groesbeck; her grandchildren, Ryan Richardson and wife Sara and Marla Barrow and husband Nathaniel; great-grandchildren, Kaitlyn, Savannah, Hayden, and C.J. Richardson and Crislyn Barrow; and many nieces and nephews.
