Lois Marie Kemmerer's Obituary
Lois Marie Kemmerer's life was a rich tapestry woven with love, care, and a spirit of adventure. Born in the heart of California, her journey began in Tulare and spanned across continents and oceans. As the youngest of four, Lois grew up surrounded by the love of her siblings Leo, Barbara, and John, under the watchful eyes of Clarence and Mary. Her high school years at Porterville were the foundation of a life dedicated to helping others, which she passionately pursued as a Home Health Aide. Her retirement years were far from idle; they were filled with the joy of travel and the rewarding task of nurturing her grandchildren, leaving imprints of love across Long Beach, Midway Island, New Jersey, Australia, and San Diego.
Lois's heart found its match in Michael Kemmerer, and together they embarked on a shared life's journey, beginning in the vibrant city of Las Vegas. Their love blossomed into a family, with son's Ron, Jeff, Michael and daughter Patty, and further flourished with the arrival of grandchildren and great-grandchildren, each adding a unique thread to the family fabric. Friends like Maddie, Mary, Rose, Theresa, Lorna, Shirley, and Anna added color and strength to this tapestry, sharing in the joys of Bingo nights and the tranquility of gardening days.
