Lois Lampert June 22, 1923 - March 6, 2019
Lois Johnston Lampert entered into the presence of the Lord on March 6, 2019, from La Villa Grande Care Center in Grand Junction. She was 95. Born on June 22, 1923, in Barron, Wisconsin, to Clair and Virginia Johnston, she spent her childhood years on farms in Wisconsin and in Franklin, Virginia. Lois received a Secretarial Diploma from Madison College in Harrisonburg, Virginia and went to work as secretary to the Manager of the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation in Washington, DC. After working there for several years, she moved to Colorado, where she became secretary to the Director of Penrose Cancer Hospital in Colorado Springs. While there, she met her future husband, Kenneth, who was a Pediatric Resident at St. Francis Hospital and later in Denver. They were married in Denver on April 14, 1951. Lois enjoyed a lifelong love of art, particularly watercolor painting. She took pleasure in creating paintings as well as passing on her knowledge through teaching watercolor classes. Many of her paintings are on display throughout the Grand Valley. In addition, her devotion to God expressed itself in her tireless service to the church and her regard for the unborn and for Asian immigrants. Those who knew her best would attest to her keen sense of humor, interest in world affairs, passion for puzzles of all kinds and incomparable pie-making skills. She is survived by sister, Elaine Crouch, of Virginia; daughter, Anne Richardson (Omar), of Grand Junction; son, Lyndon Lampert, of Lake City; two grandchildren and nine greatgrandchildren. Services will be held Monday, March 11th at 3:00 p. m. at First Presbyterian Church of Grand Junction. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Salvation Army, Wycliffe Associates or Doctors without Borders.
