Joyce Wiederhold Zwerneman, 85, of Dime Box, Texas, passed away on August 26, 2014, surrounded by her family, with her husband of 65 years, Fred, by her side. Joyce was born in Deanville, Texas, on January 20, 1929. She was baptized at the Lutheran Church in Deanville, confirmed at St. John's Lutheran Church in Dime Box, and graduated from Dime Box School. On August 28, 1949, Joyce married Fred Zwerneman at Martin Luther Lutheran Church in Giddings, and the two made their home in Austin and Pflugerville.
Joyce worked for Southwestern Bell for more than 40 years, serving as one of the first women to work on the frame. She taught Sunday School at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Pflugerville for many years, where she was an active member until she and Fred moved "home" to Dime Box in 2001. Most important to Joyce was her family, and she is remembered as a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. When her kids married and started families of their own, she began inviting the whole family over for Sunday dinner once a month, a tradition that became known as "Second Sunday" and continues more than 40 years later.
Joyce is survived by her husband of 65 years, Fred, of Dime Box; son, Freddie and daughter-in-law, Bobbie, of Georgetown; grandchildren, Stacey Zwerneman of Georgetown, Derick and April Zwerneman of Round Rock, Robert Frazier of Pflugerville, Regan and Rachele Frazier of Tomball, Sarah and Chris Boyle of Pflugerville, and Cheryl Frazier of Pflugerville; eight great-grandchildren; and four brothers and one sister.
She is preceded in death by her daughter, Sandra Frazier; son-in-law, Bobby; parents, Robert and Alma Wiederhold; four brothers; and one sister.
Funeral services are scheduled for 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 30, 2014, at St. John Lutheran Church in Dime Box, with Rev. Roger Millheim officiating. Burial will immediately follow in the St. John Lutheran Cemetery in Dime Box. Visitation will be held on Friday, August 29, 2014, from 10:30 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. and on Saturday, August 30, 2014, from 7:00 a.m. until 8:30 a.m. at Phillips & Luckey Funeral Home in Giddings. The family will be present for visitation Friday evening from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. Her six grandchildren will serve as pallbearers.
