Lahner, Luella "Lue"
|
|
| |
 SHEFFIELD
- Lue Lahner, 79, died Sunday (April 5, 2009) at the
Hampton Health Care Center.
Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m. Thursday
(April 9, 2009) at First United Methodist Church,
Sheffield, with the Rev. R. Karl Watkins presiding.
Interment will be at Hillside Cemetery, Sheffield.
Visitation will be 4 to 7 p.m. today at the Retz-Grarup
Funeral Home, Sheffield.
Luella Marie Lahner was called to be with our Lord on
Palm Sunday, April 5, 2009. She now joins her soulmate
and husband of 49 years, Dale, who died in April, 1997.
With a zest for life, appreciation of fairness and a
heart for giving, she will be most remembered for her
generosity, energy and remarkable compassion.
She was born on Nov. 1, 1929, three days after the Black
Monday stock market crash that is considered the start
of The Great Depression. One of 12 children, Lue decided
at a young age that personal possessions were not nearly
as important to her as giving her possessions to those
who needed them more. She consistently did this
throughout her lifetime, helping to fund numerous
charities and delivering Meals on Wheels with Dale. She
was especially proud of her work as a Hospice volunteer.
Lue graduated from Sheffield High School in 1947 and
married Dale in 1948. She worked as a telephone operator
until their first daughter, Susan, was born the next
year. Lue then worked at home and she and Dale raised
eight children.
She found time to make sure her children were involved
in everything from church to football.
Dale and Lue were members of the EUB and First United
Methodist Churches for decades and they literally
attended thousands of their children's and
grandchildren's activities.
Her loves included gardening, bowling, laughing, all
sports, music, playing cards and enjoying her family and
friends.
No matter where Lue went, whether it was a stroll
through the backyard or a trip to the zoo, she knew the
name of every flower and plant that grew. Her flower
gardens were like a rainbow, filled with beautiful
colors and scents. Everyone that stopped by took home a
bloom or slip of some kind of plant.
Her vegetable garden was bountiful and prosperous.
Canning 300 quarts of green beans was typical while the
harvest was in season. Growing up in a depression taught
her that nothing would be wasted. She found a use for
absolutely everything.
Lue was fond of sewing, crocheting and knitting. Her
self-taught skills were put to good use not only for her
family but for so many others. Her quilts were
painstakingly hand-stitched with her loving hands.
She made clothes for her children that put "new" clothes
to shame. She had an eye for flair and fashion and had
pride in keeping her brood clean and well-mannered.
Saturday nights were notorious for baths, hair washing,
shining shoes and ironing. Everything had to be perfect
for church on Sunday morning.
Until the day she died, her manners were impeccable,
appreciating everything people did for her and everyone
who helped her.
Lue is survived by eight children and their spouses -
Michael and (Susan) Harris of Sheffield; Steve and
Louanna Lahner of Clear Lake; David and Nancy Lahner of
Boone; Mark and (Jeannie) Brandt of Baltimore, Md.; Mike
and (Mary) Kranz of Clarion; Bill and Annette Lahner of
Sheffield; David and (Anne) Foster of Shanghai, China;
and Peter and Andra Lahner of Spring Hill, Kan.; three
sisters, Sue Waggoner, Tilene Humphreys and Eileen
Jewel; three brothers, Ed Siems, Dale Siems and Delbert
Block; 30-plus grandchildren and great-grandchildren,
and a multitude of extended family and friends.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Ella Siems;
father, August Siems; sister, Louise Romine; and
brothers, Elmer Siems, Martin Siems, Dick Siems and
Benny Siems.
The family has created a memorial in her honor, with
contributions being made to the
Alzheimer's Association at http://act.alz.org/goto/Lahner.
