Lois (Hauge) Goering
Lois (Hauge) Goering; beloved wife,
mother, grandmother, and friend; went to be with her Savior Jesus
Christ on October 24, 2021 at the age of 68.
Lois Goering is survived by her
husband; Curby Goering of North Newton, KS; her children; Carmen
(Jason) Weller of Walton, KS and their five children; Chastity
(William) Barnett of West Columbia, TX and their five children; and
Christopher (Ashley) Goering of Branson, MO and their three children;
her siblings; Barbara Hinrichs and Sharon Gunafson; and several
nieces and nephews. Lois is preceded in death by her parents; Inga
and Helbert Hauge; her sister, Doreen Porter; and her brother, Loren
Hauge.
Lois was born on August 21, 1953 on her
mother's birthday in Mahnomen, MN, as the youngest of 5 children. Her
family resided on a farm near Winger, MN before moving to town when
Lois was a teenager. She graduated high school in 1971 and attended
Bible School in Fergus Falls, MN. She took an adventure to Alaska
where she married her husband, Curby Goering, in 1978. After the
birth of their first child, Carmen, in 1980, the young family moved
to Minnesota to be closer to Lois's family. While living in Fergus
Falls, Lois and Curby welcomed Chastity in 1981 and Christopher in
1983. Lois and her family realized their dreams in 1990 with the
purchase of a small hobby farm near Becker, MN. In 1997, the Goering
family moved to Moundridge, KS to be closer to Curby's family. Over
the next several years, Curby and Lois became beloved in-laws and
grandparents. They have 13 grandchildren.
Lois was an active part in her church,
Bible studies, community groups, and political organizations, but the
joy of her life was being a Grammy. She loved spending time with her
grandchildren and took every opportunity to support them and her
children. Faith and family meant the world to Lois.
Lois will be remembered for her
hospitality, genuine spirit, compassion, joyful laugh, passion for
animals, love for her family and friends, and strong faith in her
Savior Jesus Christ. She leaves behind a sweet legacy that will live
on in all who knew her.
