Lila Mohr

Lila LeVerne (Foss) Mohr went home to be with her Lord on April 15.

Lila was born in Heimdal, ND on April 6, 1927, the daughter of Andrew O. Foss and Olga G. (Hagen) Foss. She attended school in Heimdal, ND and graduated from Fessenden High School. After graduation, she began work at the First National Bank in Fessenden, where she met the love of her life, Alvin Mohr. In 1947, she married Alvin and they made their home in Fessenden and raised their children. They were members of the First Lutheran Church. She was always involved in Bible studies in the church and was president of the ALCW at First Lutheran. She was also president of the Fessenden County Club women’s league and is a 60+ member of the American Legion Auxiliary. Besides being involved in their children’s activities, she always loved playing bridge and golf. She was fortunate to receive recognition for two “holes in one” during her lifetime.

After Alvin retired as president of First National Bank, they moved to Fargo, ND, and spent their winters in their home in Palm Desert, CA. They then moved to Stillwater, Mn in 2005 and became members of St. Andrews Lutheran church in Mahtomedi.

Lila is preceded in death by her husband, Alvin, her parents and six siblings. She had two children, Dr. Wayne (Barbara) Mohr of Green Bay, Wi, and LuAnn (Mike) Olson of Lake Elmo, Mn. She was blessed with five wonderful grandchildren, Dr. Andrew (Kirsten) Mohr of San Diego, CA, Ben (Cecilia) Mohr of Santa Monica, CA, Kathryn (Mike) Sama of Brooklyn, NY, Tyler Olson of Minneapolis, and Lauren Olson of Mahtomedi, Mn. Lila had three great grandchildren, Max and Ruby Mohr of San Diego, CA and Vivian Sama of Brooklyn, NY. She is also survived by her sister, Mildred Clark of Mesa, AZ.

Lila will be laid to rest at Fort Snelling cemetery with her husband and a celebration service will be planned for later summer. In lieu of flowers, the family wishes donations to be sent to St. Andrews Lutheran church in Mahtomedi. The family wishes to thank the staff at Boutwells Gables care center for the excellent attention and love given to their mother and grandmother. The family also wishes to thank Nicole and Sarah for their loving and compassionate care of Lila.
