Lois M. Woistman Obringer
Lois M. Woistman Obringer, 87, of Eighty Four, a strong, stubborn, independent little lady, who fought a courageous battle until heaven opened its doors to welcome her, on Monday May 16, 2022.
She was born November 29, 1934 in Pittsburgh, a daughter of the late William and Cecilia Grabowski Woistman.
Lois was retired as bookkeeper with Millers Ace Hardware. She was a compassionate, giving lady whose baking skills will be greatly missed. She was an avid reader, who was able to critique and discuss literature with her church book club for over 20 years. When asked how she was doing, a reply of “fine and dandy” meant the world was good. Lois was a member of St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Finleyville, and its Ladies of Charity, Ladies Guild, book club and Christian Mothers. “Alright, now rest in peace mom, gramma, Gma!”
Surviving are two sons, Michael Obringer of Eighty Four and Leonard (Terri) Obringer of Carnegie; two daughters; Karen (Shawn) Mathianas of Beaver and Christine (David) Ambler of Wharton, N.J.; five grandchildren, Joshua (Donn), Ashley, Adam, Ashleigh (Roman) and Benajmin; one great-grandson, Jayme; and several nieces and nephews.
Deceased are her husband, James W. Obringer; and sister, Dolores Luft.
Friends will be received from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday, in Kegel Funeral Home, Inc., David P. Kegel, Supervisor, 3560 Washington Avenue, Finleyville.
Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated 10 a.m. Monday, in St. Francis of Assis Church (St. John XXIII Parish), 3609 Washington Avenue, Finleyville. Interment will be private in the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies.
