Active in her community of Fairfield Bay, Ark., Lois Lemke was a longtime volunteer and supporter of the American Legion Auxiliary.
A retired accounting clerk, Lemke was married to Raymond Lemke, a veteran of World War II, who passed away in November 2002. The Lemkes had three sons, plus grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Lemke supported 14 charities with bequests after she passed away in February 2010 at the age of 83, including a charitable bequest to the American Legion Auxiliary Foundation for nearly $4,600.
Founded in 2007, the American Legion Auxiliary Foundation has provided a way for Auxiliary members, the community, and corporations that share our patriotic values to enhance the quality of life for future generations of veterans, military and their families.
