Cora Hartman Obituary

Cora Kornfuehrer Hartman Cora Kornfuehrer Hartman was born December 4, 1939 to Paul and Ruth Kornfuehrer in Victoria, Texas. She lived in Austin for more than 40 years. Thursday, December 20, 2012 she went to be with the Lord, passing away peacefully at home after battling bile duct cancer for almost two years. A dedicated Christ-follower at Faith Lutheran Church in Austin since 1969, Mrs. Hartman was an active participant in the life of the church. The Hartmans were also loyal members of the Austin Saengerrunde Society where they enjoyed singing German music, dancing and fellowship. The Hartmans also loved to travel, taking trips from India to Alaska. Cora was always an involved parent and served in the Anderson High School band boosters, Belles parent group, and the Aggie Moms. Mrs. Hartman was a truly gracious, loving, caring woman, known for her servant spirit, creativity and devotion to her family and friends. Cora is survived by her husband of 52 years, Fred Hartman and her children Linda Hartman of Austin; Heather Hartman Vacek and husband Steven of Leander. She also was learning the joy of spoiling six-month-old twin granddaughters Mary and Grace Vacek. Friends are invited to a Memorial service at 2 p.m. on Friday, December 28 at Faith Lutheran Church, 6600 Woodrow Avenue, Austin, Texas. In lieu of flowers, the family requests prayerful consideration of donations in Cora's memory to Faith Lutheran Church, the American Cancer Society, or the Alzheimer's Association.

In the nearly 40 years Cora and Fred have been our neighbors, Cora was a sweet and constant light on our street. Even though we didn't do a lot of active "neighboring," it was always reassuring knowing they were a rock solid constant in our midst who could be relied upon if needed. We'll miss our friendly, smiling, laughing good neighbor, and our prayers are with you as you deal with this extremely difficult time of loss.

I knew Cora in Victoria from her parents store right across from Victoria Jr. High. Gosh I thought she was so much younger than I. Just a little girl in fact. I met her again in Austin, learning that she was a friend of my sisters. May the Lord be with you during these momemts of so much saddness.
