Lois M. Altemose, 89, of Nazareth, passed away on Saturday, February 6, 2016. She was the wife of the late Dale Eichlin who passed away in 1956, and in later years was also married to William Kocher, Bethlehem, and Gerald Altemose, Nazareth, who are both also deceased.

Born on September 9, 1926, she was a daughter of the late Henry and Ruth Welser Kirchhofer.

Lois was born and raised in Easton and attended Easton schools. She worked at the Dixie Cup Company, and later at Mack Printing Company, the Park Avenue Market, and the Nazareth Library.

She loved spending time with her family and many friends, camping at auto races, dining out and trips to the casino. She also enjoyed traveling, especially cruising. In her later years, she became an avid cook and baker, making refreshments for her Senior Center friends until just a few weeks before her death.
