Remembering Lore Neidhardt

We received word from Lore's daughter Elke that Lore passed away. Here's the obituary sent to us --

Lore Rosa Neidhardt FEBRUARY 14, 1928 – OCTOBER 2, 2021, wife, mom, and beloved Oma, died suddenly on October 2, 2021 at age 93. Lore is survived by her daughter, Elke Neidhardt DeFelice (Phil); son, Guenter Neidhardt; grandkids, Alyssa (Mark), Leanna (Peter), Krista, Ingrid, Heidi, along with great grandkids, Lucas, Gavin, and Carter. She is welcomed into heaven by her husband Heinz, daughter Renate Neidhardt Green, and mother Maria Preuninger. Born in Nurtingen, Germany, she followed her husband to America in 1967 for a better life. Known as Oma to so many, she was an avid gardener, reader, great cook, and the “card lady” at St. Peters Lutheran Church which was her second family. Family was most important to Lore and she was the epitome of grace and kindness and had a smile for everyone she came across. A funeral service is scheduled for October 9, 2021 at 11:00AM, at St. Peters Lutheran Church, 11423 Chicago Road, Warren, Michigan 48093. In lieu of flowers, a donation is appreciated to one of Lore’s many charities: the Capuchin Soup Kitchen, St. Jude’s Children Hospital, Michigan Vets, and The Salvation Army.

Edelweiss sends our heartfelt condolences to the family. Lore was a member of Edelweiss since 1977 and was given our highest award, the Golden Edelweiss, in 1988. We've missed seeing her the last few years. Her always positive and happy personality was a pleasure, as was her beautiful smile. Ruhe in Frieden, liebe Lore.
