Donna Rita Hopfe passed away on Wednesday, February 24, 2021, at 5:20 am at the age of 85. She was at peace and was not in pain. She had a very wonderful and full life. She loved her husband, loved her sons, and she loved her grandchildren dearly. This is how she wanted to be remembered. We will miss her here, but we know she believed that Jesus died for all of our sins and she is now with Him.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Dieter; parents, Carl and Jewell Williams, brothers, Beryl and Wayne; and sisters, Janelle and Dorothy.
She is survived by her sister, Gwen Turner; sons, Michael and his wife, Allison, Kurt and his wife, Kristi, and Christopher; and grandchildren, Caitlin Hopfe, Will Hopfe, Elyse Hopfe, and Amanda Hopfe; and numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, and dear friends.
She was born in Lubbock, Texas November 4, 1935, and was the youngest of six children. She lived her childhood in the Lubbock area. She attended Lubbock High School and Texas Tech University. While in her 20s, she began work as a radiology technician and met her future husband, Dieter, while living in Houston. She later worked as a legal assistant for a law firm and then as the church secretary for Memorial Lutheran Church in Katy.
Dieter and Donna were married August 12, 1961 and enjoyed more than 50 years of marriage and made their life in the Katy area, west of Houston. She was a member of the Lutheran Church, most recently with Christ Lutheran Church in Pattison, Texas.
