Dorothy Mae Danysh Hartmann, age 86, passed away peacefully on March 24th, 2013 in San Antonio. She was born September 13, 1926 to Joseph and Marciana Danysh at their home near Denhawken in Wilson County, Texas.
She was preceded in death by her parents and siblings Joe Danysh, Clarence Danysh, and Florence Danysh Muerer. She is survived by her husband of 60 years, their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Throughout her life, nothing was more important to Dorothy than her family. She grew up on her family's farm, making trips to San Antonio with her sisters when they became young women. One of these trips was to a Christmas dance in St. Hedwig, where she met Gilbert. They continued dancing together for more than fifty years, joining their friends for dances and lively card parties. After her retirement from Civil Service, Dorothy returned with Gilbert almost every week to the family farm, which became their country retreat. She also enjoyed reading, traveling, gambling trips, and spending time with their grandchildren. She loved to laugh, especially with her sisters as they conversed in Polish.
For many years, all the grown children and their families gathered for dinner at their home almost every Sunday and holiday, knowing there would be something good to eat at one o'clock. She spent many hours cooking wonderful meals and baking for her family, never using a recipe. Her homemade bread was legendary among the grandchildren – despite many attempts to imitate what we watched her do, the end result has never been duplicated. We have missed her cooking and her laughter for a while now, but her smile and sense of humor remained with her until the very end, as they will remain in the hearts and memories of those who knew and loved her.
Internment at Christ Lutheran of Elm Creek Cemetery.
