Lois Momeyer (Etling)

Lois M. Momeyer, Warsaw, passed away quietly Monday, September 10th in Fort Wayne’s St. Joseph Hospital. She was 76 years old.
Born in Akron, Ohio to Dr. Harold Etling and his wife, Ada (Marquis) Etling, Lois was one of two daughters raised in the family home. In 1954, the family moved to Winona Lake with Lois graduating from Warsaw High School with the class of 1959.
It was in high school and through Winona Lake Grace Brethren Church where Lois met the love of her life, Larry Momeyer. The two were united in marriage on June 18, 1960 and shared more than 58 years of memories. To their union, five children were born.
Lois was a kind, loving and caring person. Her generosity extended to both family and friends, whom she loved dearly but also to strangers and acquaintances. Lois loved children which was fitting as she worked in the cafeteria at Madison Elementary for more than 20 years. She also worked as a cook at Winona Hotel (Christian Assembly) and sold Avon for many years. In fact, she continued to sell Avon to select customers until only recently. Lois loved to treasure hunt, enjoying both garage and yard sales.
A gracious woman of faith, Lois was a member of Winona Lake Grace Brethren Church and attended Lakeland Grace Brethren Church.
In addition to her husband, Larry, those who survive include three sons: Eugene Momeyer, Carl Momeyer and Wayne Momeyer – all of Warsaw; two daughters, Beverly Clark of Warsaw and Theresa (Doug) Overy of Auburn ; eight grandchildren: Andy (Crista) Overy, Steve Overy, Joe Overy, David Overy, Chad Wolf, Brandan Wolf, Ashley Wolf and Zach Momeyer; six great-grandchildren and a sister, Janet (Howard) Strickler of Port St. Lucie, Florida. Lois was preceded in death by her parents.
