Lovell A. Kahley, 90, a resident of Ringtown, passed away surrounded by her family on October 14, 2025.
Lovell was born in Ringtown on August 28, 1935, a daughter of the late Elwood and Sara (Zimmerman) Lindenmuth.
She graduated from the former Ringtown High School in 1953 and the Bloomsburg Teachers College in 1956. She went on to teach in the Pottsville School District from 1956-1959, and then at the Ringtown Union, which later became the North Schuylkill School District, from 1963 until 1996. She will be well remembered as both second grade teacher and principal of the Ringtown elementary school, with past students frequently expressing fond memories of being in her class.
Lovell was very active in the community, having belonged to the Ringtown Women's Club, Ringtown Lioness Club, Ringtown Lions Club and the RIngtown Senior Citizens. She was also a member of the Orwigsburg Chapter of the Eastern Star.
She married Reed S. Kahley on June 2, 1956, and was a life long member of St. John's Lutheran Church, teaching Sunday School and serving on Church Council. An avid reader all her life, she spent many hours in a boat reading while Reed fished.
In addition to her husband Reed who passed away in 2017, she was preceded in death by a son in law, George Herbein and a grandson, David Herbein.
