Norman Albert Wundt, 98 from Belmont, passed away Wednesday, October 17, 2012. He was born January 14, 1914 in Robstown to William Julius Wundt and Meta Kolterman Wundt.
Norman married Martha Marie Burell on December 21, 1938 in George West. He was a member of the Belmont United Methodist Church.
Norman became well-acquainted with hard work as a young man. He had worked as a roughneck on south Texas drilling rigs and later gained employment at a cotton gin. While working, he played baseball for the Plymouth Oilers of the South Texas Baseball League. He was a successful pitcher for the team and had many fond memories of the game and the people he met along the way.
He had also played the violin in his father's band and learned to appreciate the Big Band sounds of that era. At the age of 24, he married his sweetheart, Martha Burell, and they purchased a dairy farm near Orange Grove.
After a few years, he moved his dairy operation to Taft and built this operation into the second largest milk producing farm in south Texas. It is important to note; in those days there were no milking machines, cows had to be milked by hand and the milk then delivered for processing at the end of the day and the same process repeated everyday.
In 1953, Norman moved his family to Belmont and they made their home on a ranch on the beautiful Guadalupe River. He became active in the community of Belmont, where he served as one of the founders of the Belmont Civic Association and had served as President of the association. He was instrumental in building the Belmont Community Center and was very active in his church, where he had built the altar and the church pulpit with his own hands that are still in use today.
After their children had grown, Norman and Martha purchased a home in Austin. Norman obtained his real estate broker's license and went to work as a real estate agent and broker in Austin while Martha went to work as a florist. In time, they purchased a RV and traveled together all across the United States, delighting in taking their children and grandchildren with them. The Big Bend area was Norman's favorite, a country wild and wide open, much like what the pioneers and early settlers had to traverse seeking a place to call home.
Martha was later diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, Norman stayed by her side, loving and loyal to the end as Martha passed away just two hours after their 60th anniversary. So many sweet memories filled Norman's heart upon this passing, memories that recalled how he boldly introduced himself to Martha at a dance and won her heart on the dance floor, memories of raising five wonderful children together in homes filled with love and the scenic beauty they witnessed of the natural world as they traveled through life together.
Norman Albert Wundt was a loyal, honest, robust and hardworking man. He believed in treating all people fairly and would not tolerate prejudices. He instilled these qualities into his children and certainly they are a reflection of their father's values. He freely gave of his time to those who needed him. He loved his garden and enjoyed writing as he committed memories of his life to volumes of paper. Certainly as he now dances through the golden streets of Heaven with his loving wife Martha, God is smiling and welcoming his good and faithful servant home.
He is survived by his daughters and sons-in-law, Karen Janet and Alvin Cook, Evelyn Lucille and Dennis Engblom, all of Austin; sons and daughter-in-law, Warren William Wundt of Seguin and James Avery and Ellen Wundt of Belmont; his brother, Marvin Julius Wundt of San Marcos; grandchildren, Sherri Escalante, Gina Blackstone, Douglas Cook, Charles Wundt, Victor Engblom, Angie Decou, Shelby Scharen and Kyle Wundt; and 11 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife, parents and a son, Allen Wayne Wundt.
Interment in the Belmont Cemetery.
Pallbearers are Dale Burell, Marcos Burell, Perry Winegeart, John Henry Burell, Mike Bond, Richard Goss, Royce Towns, Jr., and Martin Garcia. Honorary pallbearers are Pat Romike, Tom Kolterman and Richard Kolterman.
