Pauline Lamza

Pauline Lamza, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, peacefully passed away on November 28, 2025, at the Shady Oak Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Moulton, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on January 16, 1944, in San Antonio to Roland and Meta (Schulmeier) Acker, the third of four siblings.

She graduated from Northside High School and met the love of her life, Albin Lamza, in 1965. Their love blossomed and they married on September 17, 1966. Together, they began their journey as a family, raising their four children in San Antonio before relocating to Moulton in 1977. Pauline worked for a savings and loan and an insurance agency in Gonzales for many years while building a warm and caring home on their farm. As time went on, she focused on her passion for raising exotic birds, a venture that brought her immense joy. Family was at the heart of Pauline's life. She was deeply involved in her children's activities and took great pride in nurturing their interests and passions. She and Albin also enjoyed traveling with family and friends, taking long car trips to explore the country.

She is survived by her husband, Albin Lamza, her daughters Cynthia (David) Fender and Brenda (Gene) Selzer, and her son Glenn (Lee Ann) Lamza. Additionally, she leaves behind her daughter-in-law Amanda Lamza, along with eight cherished grandchildren and five great-grandchildren who will carry her memory forward.

Pauline was preceded in death by her parents, her sisters, Irene Scholz and Janie Schuh, and her son, Kevin Lamza.

Her warm spirit, remarkable strength, and love for her family will be profoundly missed. Family and friends are invited to celebrate her life with a visitation at Smith Funeral Home in Moulton from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM on Tuesday, December 2, 2025. A rosary will be held at St. Joseph Catholic Church on December 3, 2025, at 9:30 AM, followed by a funeral mass at 10:00 AM. Pauline will be interred at St. Joseph's Catholic Cemetery.
