Hattie Lou Sultemeier was born January 2, 1925.  She passed into her heavenly reward peacefully on Sunday evening, July 30, 2017.  Hattie was the 8 ^th of 10 children.  She grew up in Sandy, Texas.

Hattie married the love of her life, Joe Syd Fuchs, April 7, 1947.  They spent their married life in Blanco, Texas, where Joe Syd and his family owned and operated the Blanco Locker Plant.  During those years of operating the Locker Plant, Hattie was well known for her homemade bread.  Hattie and Joe Syd were married for almost 51 years at the time of his passing.

Hattie was a dedicated homemaker.  Her home and family fulfilled her with joy.  She was a terrific cook and accomplished seamstress.  Her love of gardening and flowers was evident in her bountiful harvest and the flowers surrounding her home.  Even in the years she spent in the nursing home facility, there was never a time without plants in her room.

The family expresses thanks and appreciation to nurses, staff, and administrators of Live Oak Medical Center, Henry House, and LBJ Medical Center for their patient and loving care recently and through the years.
