DORIS ROSE FRITZ RAHM (1935-2026)

Doris Rose Fritz Rahm passed away at the age of 90 on Feb. 4 in Fredericksburg. Doris was born on Sept. 10, 1935, the 13th child of Emil Fritz and Minna Tatsch Fritz of Tivydale. She attended the Tivydale School and St. Mary’s Catholic School. On Dec. 26, 1956, she married Robert Gilbert Rahm of Boerne.

Doris was a very talented crafter, chef and artist, baking for the faculty of Boerne ISD where Robert was the high school principal. She also enjoyed needlework, sewing, crocheting, painting, gardening and raising her three children. Robert and Doris owned two mobile home parks that she managed while Robert was with the school system. When Robert retired, they started the Noel Tree Farm planting thousands of Afghan Pine trees for the Christmas tree farm. Doris worked the tree farm with loving hands, including shaping the trees to be ready for sale.

Later in life, Doris kept busy painting bird houses (giving them to family and friends), crocheting baby blankets (including making extras for babies to come). She also loved to read scriptures and tell everyone she met about Jesus.

Doris is survived by her husband, Robert Gilbert Rahm of Hye, son Bryan Rahm (Frances) of Royse City, daughter Lisa Rodgers (Lynn) of Port Lavaca, daughter Melanie Solomon (Patrick) of Boerne; five grandchildren, Justin Rahm, Kelli Rahm Fuhrman, Chelsea Solomon Waldrop, Blaine Rodgers and Shelby Rodgers Maraggia; and 10 great-grandchildren.
