Graveside service for Lois (Cochran) Meier, age 91, will be held at East Lawn Cemetery in Minatare, NE at 9:30 AM on Wednesday, September 27, 2023.
Our mom, Grandma Tutu, passed on September 22 and went to be with our dad, Ron, who passed away in 2017 and our sister, Barb, who passed away in 2018. Barb’s last words were that her job in heaven will be to welcome everyone when they get to heaven. With so many friends and relatives in heaven, we are sure she’s loved reconnecting with them and will be excited to see mom again to welcome her through the gates.
Lois was born on August 31, 1932 to Forrest and Cora Cochran on a farm in Iowa. The family moved in 1943 to the family farm in Melbeta where she graduated high school in 1950. She then went to college in Denver and returned to begin her career with Kramer Motors. She married Ron Meier and they had 4 girls.
