My wife, Sandie, and I met Lois through the UU church here in Wenatchee. She was such a joy to be around!
Sandie and Lois were in the same Covenant Circle. Lois and I were both part of the Middle Eastern drumming and Zen meditation groups. These were pretty tight knit groups, and we also had a lot of fun socially, such as the pool parties at the “Farm House” in East Wenatchee. Other members/friends in that group who were close to her and have now passed were Pat Brooke, John Crew and Suzanne Harper.
We also served together on the Greeter/Membership committee at the Fellowship, and she was also on the board of trustees and other committees during her time here. She was such a vibrant, always positive soul, and her contributions to other organizations in town, like the Robert Graves Gallery, were many.
Sandie and I also met up with her when she was spending some time in Patagonia, Arizona. We spent several days together, meeting her friends, visiting wineries and local hangouts, and attending a UU service in Green Valley. We have so many fond memories of times we spent with your wonderful mother.
She was a bright light in the world, and I am sure she is shining bright wherever she is now.
With much love,
LeRoy Farmer and Sandie Switzer-Farmer
