Della Mae Louisa (Giese) Lehmann, of Warda, Texas, was called to her heavenly home in the early morning hours on Sunday, January 5, 2014 at St. Mark's Medical Center in La Grange, Texas.

A lifetime resident of Warda, Texas, Della Mae was born on May 20, 1926, the daughter of Louis A. Geise and Adelia (Falke) Giese. She was baptized on June 13, 1926 by Rev. G. Buchschacker and confirmed on April 2, 1939 by Rev. Paul C. Eifert.

Della Mae married the love of her life, Robert Lehmann, on February 8, 1948 in Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Warda, Texas.

Della Mae "Granny" was a loving and compassionate lady who always tried to look her best. She was an avid La Grange Leopard fan and took great pride in her two sons and grandsons graduating from Texas A&M University. Granny loved fishing especially her trips to the coast with Roy and Ruth Lehmann and the late Fred and Mabel Kasper. Her trip to Europe with Arnold and Evelyn Kasper was one of the highlights of her life.

Della Mae was a charter member of the Warda EH Club, a charter member of the Holy Cross Ladies' Aid and a member of the Holy Cross Lutheran Choir. Her hobbies included sewing and gardening, but her greatest passion was painting. Her paintings have been given and bought by many friends and family.

"Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us." Romans 5:1-5 NIV
