Sarah Anne Nace
Birth Date: September 26, 1979
Death Date: February 14, 2018
Sarah Anne (Annie) Lehnert Nace, 38, went to be with our Lord on February 14, 2018.
Annie was born in Brenham, Texas, on September 26, 1979, and grew up in Navasota, TX, graduating from Navasota High School in 1998. She received her Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science from Texas A&M University in 2002 and moved to Dallas to start her
career in commercial building interior design.
In 2014, Annie was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer, which she fought – in true form – with her strong faith, fierce determination, and remarkable courage.
As a devoted wife and mother, Annie had an unshakeable and inspiring Christian faith, which carried her bravely through her life’s journey. She was close friends with her family members and made her close friends “members” of her family. Annie will always be
remembered for her artistic creativity and her great eye for design, as well as her spunk, inner strength, and determination. She was a truly talented photographer who saw beauty all around her, and she enjoyed the many friends who came into her life through
her photography.
Annie is survived by her husband of nine years, Tyler C. Nace, their son Cooper, 6 years old, and daughter Morgan, 4 years old. In addition, she is survived by her parents David F. Lehnert and Betsy Lehnert of Navasota, TX, two sisters and their husbands, Heather
and John Boyle and Amy and Greg Wilson of San Antonio, and a brother and his wife, Ben and Amy Lehnert of Charleston, SC. Annie has six nieces and nephews who will always remember their fun, artistic, mischievous and loving aunt. She is also survived by Tyler’s
parents, Greg and Barbara (B.J.) Nace of Chapel Hill, NC, two brothers and their wives, Aaron and Katy Nace of Chicago, IL and Trevor and Haley Nace of Denver, CO.
The family wishes to thank the many kind people who supported Annie and her family throughout her illness, in particular, Aunt Anita and Uncle Mark Ryan of Dallas. Your gifts of food, flowers, childcare, housekeeping, prayers, and love were always appreciated.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to mommiesinneed.org.
