Daisy Kay Hohmann, 75, of Wimberley, Texas (formerly of Dripping Springs) passed away peacefully at home with her family by her side on September 16, 2021, after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born in Austin, Texas on January 1, 1946, to Leroy Roberts and Katherine King Roberts.
Kay attended Dripping Springs schools and was involved in 4H, FHA, volleyball, basketball and cheerleading. She married the love of her life, Marvin Eugene Hohmann, on March 22, 1962 and headed off to Colorado Springs, CO, to serve as an Army wife for two years. After returning to Texas, Kay and Marvin lived on the Roberts’ family ranch in Dripping Springs, before moving to South Austin. Kay was a very faithful employee and served as a leader with both a strong work ethic and integrity at Retail Merchants, TIAA, TCPIA and the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association for a total of 40 years.
Kay has been described as an angel on earth, by many that knew her. She suffered many losses during her life, but was never bitter, and set an example for her family and friends on remaining faithful to her Lord and living life with joy and happiness. She always took care of others and never wanted attention focused on her. Kay lovingly took care of her mother, Katherine Roberts, and husband, Marvin, in their later years never asking for help or complaining. Even during her own illness, Kay, always wanted to make sure everyone around her was taken care of. She was a servant to the very end. When Kay entered Heaven on September 16th at 12:25 AM, we know that the Lord said, “Well done my good and faithful servant.”
Kay’s greatest loves were her children, grandchildren and great grandchild. She enjoyed hugs on Mimi’s green chair with Parker, visits on the back patio and long morning kitchen talks over coffee with Bethany. Trips to Georgia were a highlight, getting to watch Lilah play volleyball, swim and play make-up and beauty shop. Brandon and Shelby will always remember their visits to Gattitown, trips to the movie store, frozen ice pops and sleepovers with Mimi and Pop.
Kay is survived by her daughter Kimberley Kay Bishop and husband Rick Bishop of Wimberley, TX and daughter Bobbi Michelle Hohmann and husband Terry Powis of Atlanta, Georgia; grandson Brandon Bishop and wife Bethany; granddaughters Shelby Bishop and Lilah Powis and great-grandson Parker Bishop. Kay is also survived by brother-in-law Wayne Hohmann and wife Kathy, sister-in-law Sharon Felps, and many nieces and nephews. Preceding her in death were her husband, Marvin Eugene Hohmann, her parents, Leroy Roberts and Katherine King Roberts, sister Patsy Roberts, brother Bobby Lee Roberts granddaughter Kayla Brooke Bishop, and sister-in-law Arlene Crippen.
A memorial service will be held on Monday, September 27, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. at the First Baptist Church, Dripping Springs, Texas. A time of fellowship and refreshments will be held afterward. As per Kay’s request, the family has asked that masks be worn inside. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the First Baptist Church Dripping Springs.
