Notes - Obituary of Lois Griebner
Lois Rickert Griebner, 85, of Lewiston, NY, passed into the arms of our Lord on Friday, April 1, 2016, at Niagara Hospice in Lockport after a long battle with cancer. Lois was a loving wife to Robert Clarence Griebner, who was taken from her much too soon, and mother to Kristin and James.
Born on June 20, 1930, in Niagara Falls to Elsie Rickert (Haseley) and Arthur Rickert, Lois had one brother, William Rickert (predeceased 2005). She graduated from LaSalle Jr./Sr. High School in 1948 and soon after went to work at DuPont in Niagara Falls. After her husband passed away, Lois returned to school, attending Niagara County Community College for Business then securing a position with Staff Builders.
Lois was a strong woman and a pillar of the community. For more than 50 years, she was a very active member of the Lutheran Church of the Messiah in Lewiston as a Sunday School teacher as well as singing in the choir, serving on the women's guild, and being named Church Woman of the Year. She was also an active member of the Lewiston Garden Club, the 48ers group from LaSalle High School, and the Lewiston Historical Society. Lois loved her family and holidays, and family gatherings meant the world to her, as she found great joy in her family, both immediate and extended. Her love of the Lord shined through her.
Lois is survived by her daughter Kristin Griebner Lathrop (Lloyd), son James Griebner, and two grandsons, George Aron Wright and Robert William Wright. She was preceded in death by her husband Robert (1978) and brother William (2005).
