Reola Georgia, daughter of Dewey William and Daisy Florence (Curtis) Crow was born Nov. 6, 1922, at her grandparents Curtis’ home, southwest of Cherokee, Okla. She was born to eternal life on Nov. 18, 2012, at her home in Alva, Okla., at the age of 90 years and 12 days.

She lived in Cherokee and attended the Cherokee school system, and worked for several people, cooking, cleaning and tending gardens in order to help support her younger siblings.

Reola was united in marriage to Gilbert P.J. Lohmann on Aug. 17, 1941, at Alva Zion Lutheran Church. To their marriage, two children, Karen Diane and Monty Gilbert, were born.

Following their marriage, they made their home five miles south and 21⁄2 miles east of Alva.

In 1959, the family moved into Alva, and in 1961 moved to a farm two miles south and two miles west of Kiowa, Kan., and in 1965, moved to 514 14th Street in Alva.

During their marriage, she worked at JCPenney in Alva and became an Avon representative in 1957, and was active until 2012. All during their marriage, they farmed and ranched in the Alva area and also in Beaver County, Okla., and Powers County, Colo.

Reola was first baptized in Clay Creek, south of Cherokee, and on Jan. 25, 1942, she was rebaptized and confirmed at Alva Zion Lutheran Church and has been a member of the church since that time. She was the last remaining charter member of the Mary Martha Guild of the church.

Mrs. Lohmann was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Gilbert; one sister, Viola Azbill; and three brothers, Dewey Merle, James and Lawrence.
