Lois Marie Meers

August 16, 1933 – September 14, 2025

Lois Marie Meers, 92, of Ravenna, Ohio, passed away peacefully on September 14, 2025.

Born on August 16, 1933, Lois lived a life marked by faith, laughter, and service. She was preceded in death by her husband of 73 years, Reverend Robert J. Meers; her mother, Marie Doepker; her brothers, Lawrence (Larry) Doepker and Gerald (Jerry) Robenalt; and son-in-law, Don Long.

Lois leaves behind her three children, Vickie (Charlie) Bullen, Bob (Cindy) Meers, and Becky Long; six grandchildren; Jason (Colleen) Bullen, Nicole Long, Jeffrey (Lisa) Long, Brittany (Stephen) Rassel, Ryan (Shelby) Meers, and Sean (Cally) Meers, as well as her eight great-grandchildren and many beloved nieces and nephews.

Lois worked for many years at Kroger and Apples grocery stores, where her strong work ethic and friendly personality made her a favorite among both co-workers and customers. A woman of deep faith and tireless spirit, Lois was known for her hardworking nature and selfless heart. She held a certification in ventriloquy and loved to share her humor and creativity with others.

She also enjoyed traveling, especially to places that promised bright lights and a little bit of luck! Wherever she went she had a gift for making friends as evidenced by her lifelong bond with Joyce Smith, Rhonda Robinson, and Jody Harkcom. People were drawn to her warmth, laughter, and the ease with which she connected to others. She always put the needs of others before her own and made those around her feel loved and appreciated.

Lois’s family extends heartfelt gratitude to Danbury of Westerville and CorsoCare Hospice for their compassionate care during her final days.

Lois’s family would also like to express their sincere gratitude to her neighbor, Patrick Maloney. He was always there for our parents, offering a helping hand and watching over them with such care. His kindness and support meant so much to them and ourselves.

She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew her.

Graveside funeral service, officiated by Chaplain Bill Wisniewski, will be held at Maple Grove Cemetery at 12pm on Saturday, September 20, 2025. Family and friends are welcome to attend.
