She enjoyed her many friends and playing golf in The Villages. She was an active member of Hope Lutheran Church and served as a communion assistant for several years at 11:30 AM service.
She is survived by her husband of 56 years, daughter Lisa Pieper (Joseph), grandchildren Samantha, Andrea and Kevin Pieper. She especially enjoyed her grandkids when they sang, “I love you, a bushel and a peck.” Also survived by her sister Jacqueline Mellor, niece Crystal and nephew Daniel. She was preceded in death by her parents and son Lorin III. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, no memorial service is planned at this time. Graveside service will be conducted in Milwaukee, WI next summer. Rest in Peace and God Bless You my love.
