Lora Turner Petzler passed away on December 26, 2012. Lora was born in Speigletown, New York, on January 18, 1926, the daughter of Stephen Turner. She was pre-deceased by husband William Petzler and children William, Leslie, and Lora. She is survived by daughters Linda and Lois (James Sporer); grandchildren Kara (Shane Lardinois) and Jonathan Sporer (Kelly); and great granddaughters Clara Joy and Lucy Rose Sporer.
Lora grew up on a farm in the 1930s and learned a resilience and resourcefulness that she carried throughout her life. After graduating from Lansingburg High School she became a comptometer operator and then homemaker. She introduced her daughters at an early age to a life-long love of reading, and she used her excellent seamstress skills to sew many school outfits and Easter dresses. As a Girl Scout leader Lora organized overnight bus trips for her daughters' troop to sight-see in New York City.
Later in life Bill and Lora enjoyed a retirement that included golf, travel, and good friends. Lora loved to play bridge and poker and was an outstanding player. She delivered Meals on Wheels and crafted beautiful items for the church bazaar. Lora cared for other people, and even on the last day of her life helped a friend find her way home. The family would like to extend heartfelt appreciation to the kind community at Lockwood of Fenton, MI and to the special friends Lora made at Loose Senior Center. Internment will take place at St. John's Cemetery in Troy, New York, at a later date. |
