Irma W. Schwarz 

Irma Wilhemine Ohlendorf Schwarz passed from this life on Dec. 17, 2001, at the age 
of 96 years, at Southbrooke Manor Nursing Home and Rehabilitation Center in Edna, 
Texas.

Irma was born Oct. 3, 1905, the daughter of the late Albert and Anna Ohlendorf and 
sister of Ernest Ohlendorf, Kurt Ohlendorf, Max Ohlendorf, Werner Ohlendorf, Emmie 
Ohlendorf, twin sister, Ellie Ohlendorf; and sister, Helen Dietert. 

Surviving Irma is her sister, Helen Dietert of Comfort, Texas; 12 of her 13 nieces and 
nephews; 28 great-nieces and great-nephews; 21 great-great nieces and great-great-
nephews; and many dear friends in the Edna, Victoria and Lockhart areas, across 
the State and in Germany. 

Having completed nursing training at the State Tuberculosis Sanitarium School of 
Nursing near San Angelo, Texas, Irma graduated as a Tuberculosis Nurse May 1, 
1942, and on March 15, 1950, became Registered Tuberculosis Nurse No. 56 in the 
State of Texas. She remained a lifelong member of the Texas Graduate Tuberculosis 
Nurses Association. 

On March 12, 1945, Irma married Walter Schwarz in Lockhart, Texas, and they farmed 
and ranched on their home place near Edna for 29 years, until Walter’s death in 1974. 
Irma continued to be an active member of the community, of the Ladies Auxiliary 
Number 8556 of the VFW; and of her church, Emmanuel Lutheran church of Inez. 

Her infectious sense of humor, generous spirit and love of life were great inspirations 
to her family and friends and Irma will be greatly missed by all those who knew and 
loved her. 

Funeral services will be conducted by Oaklawn Funeral Home of Edna on Friday, 
Dec. 21, 2001, at 10:30 a.m. Interment will be at Memorial Park Cemetery in Victoria
