Gloria Jean Lohmeyer

1943 - 2018

After a valiant 24-year fight with Multiple Sclerosis, Gloria Jean Lohmeyer (Vergason) died peacefully on August 14th in Monroe, Michigan, at the age of 74.
Gloria leaves behind her husband of 53 years, Loren "Len" Lohmeyer; a son, Loren "John" Lohmeyer (Judge Cheryl Lohmeyer); a sister, Carol; and two grandchildren, Lukas and Chloe. She was preceded in death by her mother and father, Lloyd and Eugenia Vergason.
Gloria was born on November 12, 1943, in Waverly, New York. She graduated from Candor High School in 1961. Catching the eye of the local paper boy Len, he became her high school sweetheart and husband in 1965. Gloria's smiling face brought cheer to her workplace at Tioga State Bank, where she put her sharp math and organizational skills to work as a bank teller and bookkeeper. In 1970, the couple welcomed the birth of their son John, and the three enjoyed trips to auto races, Williamsburg, and Disney. When John settled in Michigan after college and married, the Lohmeyers joined him in Monroe after the birth of their grandchildren. Gloria loved the time she spent with Lukas and Chloe, who would often visit after school. Gloria was beloved by her family and friends for her stories, her humor, her kindness, and her strength.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations to ProMedica Hospice of Monroe or the MS Society. The family thanks the caregivers of Wellspring Lutheran Home and the staff of Promedica Hospice for their outstanding care and support. The extended family thanks Len for the years of devoted, loving care he bestowed on Gloria. The two have provided an inspiring example of a marriage of strength, perseverance, and unconditional love.
A celebration of Gloria's life will be held in her home town of Candor, New York on Sunday, September 2, 2018 from 1 until 4 pm. at the Candor Fire Station
