Memorial: Lois Eileen Wittke

Lois Eileen Wittke age 93 of Springfield, Ohio passed away peacefully on Thursday, June 27, 2024. After staying home raising her children, Lois worked in various school systems as a secretary and finished her career at the Springfield Local Board of Education. She was extremely active as a volunteer throughout her life. She was a Camp Fire Girl leader for 9 years, chaired the Columbus Camp Fire Tri Village area and NW district; worked at the summer day camps; was the Horizon Club advisor, a board member, and a Camp Wyandot program committee member. The 9 years with her “girls” were some of her fondest memories.

Lois was an active Upper Arlington High School band parent and often chauffeured Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and athletic teams wherever the destination. She also volunteered as a Sunday secretary at Columbus Trinity United Methodist Church and The Ohio Historical Center Village. She was a 50 year member of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

At Springfield’s High Street United Methodist Church, the choir was her first love. Music was one of the most important things in her life from the time she first started playing the piano by ear. Lois was a loving mother, grandmother, and friend. She will be missed by all of those who love her. Expressions of sympathy may be left at www.richardsraffanddunbar.com.
