BRAUER Mae Louise Oughton Brauer, 98, of San Antonio - called "Morin" by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren - passed away on Wednesday, October 10, 2012 after a brief illness. She was born in San Antonio, TX on September 27, 1914 to Alfred and Louise Oughton. In her youth, the Oughton family relocated to Boerne, TX, and as a young girl, she was a studious pupil who insisted on finishing high school despite Depression-era interruptions. In the fall of 1932, a young man took one look at the blue-eyed, dark-haired young Mae and exclaimed he would "marry that girl one day." That young man was Clinton "Chub" Brauer. They were married July 30, 1933 and had a daughter, Barbara "Mimi" Ann Trenkelbach. Mae worked as a secretary for the San Antonio Independent School District and for the law office of Tom Stolhandske, where her quick wit kept everyone on their toes. She was famous for her eggnog around the holidays. She volunteered for over thirty years as a Bluebird in Methodist Hospital, where she helped make sewn toys for children. Through her extended years, she proved to be a profound influence on now three generations of her family. She loved them very much, traveling far for the weddings of her grandsons and the graduations of her great-grandchildren. She is survived by her daughter, Barbara Trenkelbach and her husband, Larry Peabody of San Antonio, TX; her grandsons, Curtis Trenkelbach and his wife, Rocky of Charlotte, NC, and their children, Shelby, Colby, and Clint Trenkelbach, and Wayne Trenkelbach and his wife, Eugenia of Charlotte, NC, and their children, Sara Mae and Tomas; and her sister, Helen Dieckow of Boerne, TX. They will all miss her very much, but they know she has now joined her late beloved husband, Clinton "Chub" Brauer.
