Lois L. Groh's Obituary
Lois L. Groh, age 96, passed away early Tuesday, March 2, 2021. She was born on August 19, 1924 to Luther and Edith (Honett) Anderson in Stanton, IA. The family moved to Chicago where she completed high school before attending Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois. She married William Groh, a handsome soldier in a ceremony in Chicago. Together, they made Chicago Heights their home where they raised two sons while creating cherished memories of love and laughter. Lois dedicated 25 years to Irwin Publishing from which she retired. She enjoyed many adventures while traveling the world and playing bridge with friends. Above all, she truly loved spending time with her family. As a longtime member of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Chicago Heights, she was involved in many of their activities. In her final years, she made her way to West Michigan to be close to family. Lois was a tender-loving soul and will be greatly missed by all who knew her. She is survived by her children, Larry (Cindy) Groh, Bruce (Barbara) Groh; 3 grandchildren, Christopher (Amanda) Groh, Eric Groh, and Alicia Groh; and 2 great-grandchildren, Theodore and Beatrice.
