"Theresia Baker, 73, of Lockhart passed away on 4/2/14. She was born on 8/28/40 in Zichydorf, Yugoslavia to her German parents Theresia and Mathias Brenner. Her father lost his life as a German soldier in WWII leaving behind his wife and 4 children in Yugoslavia. After surviving several different ethnic German work camps in Yugoslavia, Theresia's mother was able to return to Germany as a refugee with her 3 surviving children.
Theresia Baker worked in shoe factories until meeting her husband Otto Ehl Sr. They had 3 children together. They divorced. Theresia later married a U.S. soldier, Stewart (Pete) Roberts. They moved to the United States in 1965 and had one daughter. While Pete served several tours in Viet Nam, Theresia attended cosmetology school where she became a licensed beautician while raising her daughter and trying to learn English.
Theresia always enjoyed dancing. In the 1970's she enjoyed formal ballroom dancing. In the 1980's she took an interest in square dancing and through this love of dancing she met her late husband Carlos Baker. Theresia remained an active member in Austin's Waterloo Squares square dance club until her diagnosis with cancer in December which left her too weak to continue dancing."
