Lois Yarmain
December 31, 1933 – December 3, 2023
My mom, Lois Eisele Yarmain, passed away exactly four weeks before her birthday. Always impeccably dressed and “put together,” no one would have ever guessed she was about to be 90, which she insisted was just a number.
She was more than just a mother and grandmother, she was our best friend. Baba, as Kate and Meg called her, was involved in all three of our lives on a daily basis. She was our biggest supporter and confidant, I called her my “personal 911.”
We loved her positive personality, outlook on life, her sense of humor and always laughed at her quick one liners that made everyone roll their eyes. She loved her summers on Walloon Lake, being in the kitchen “eyeballing” her recipes, telling everyone how to use the grill, and telling stories that when questioned, would insist were true.
She loved to read until 3 in the morning, and when she couldn’t sleep, she’d decorate and redesign her house and everyone else’s. Then in the morning she’d say, “she should have been an architect.” She didn’t have an official interior design degree, but no one would have ever known. Everyone wanted her decorating help.
