Billie Liesman

Billie Nell Jacobs Liesman of San Antonio, formerly of Cuero, died early December 18, 2025
at the age of 96.

She is survived by her two sons and daughters-in-law, Randy and Debbie Liesman, Bruce and Anna Liesman, all of San Antonio and four grandchildren, Tessa Liesman of San Antonio, McKenna Liesman of Chicago, Illinois, Kristen Liesman of Edmond, Oklahoma, and Dr. Gage Liesman of Midland, Texas.

She was preceded in death by her parents Bill and Nellie Jacobs of Cuero and her husband of 60 years, Kenneth.

Billie was born on August 27, 1929 in San Antonio and graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School there. She pursued and obtained her degree in Medical Technology at A&l University where she met her husband Kenneth.

After their marriage in 1950, they made their home in Cuero and she was active in DeWitt Home Demonstration, a member of St Mark's Lutheran Church since 1951, a Cub Scout Den Mother, and all those activities involved in raising boys. After her boys started school, she began her decades-long medical career. Many Cuero residents came to know Billie as that lady in the lab who took their blood...first, in the office of Dr. Ted Reuss, then at the old Cuero Hospital, and finally for many years at the Bohman Clinic.

A serious fall at St Mark's Lutheran Church in 2014 required a medical airlift to SAMC Emergency in San Antonio and after recovery and therapy; she chose to stay in San Antonio in an assisted living facility near The Quarry for the next 11 years to be near her sons and family.

The family will receive friends and family at Freund Funeral Home on Saturday, January 3, 2026 at 10:00 am with a funeral service to follow at 11:00 am. Burial will be at Hillside Cemetery.

The family requests that Memorial Contributions be made to C.A.M.A.L, Inc, Food Distribution Center, 118 W. Main St., Cuero, Texas 77954. (361) 275-5022.
