March 3, 1925 — April 24, 2016
Leora V. Frohreich passed away at Hillcrest Estate in Medford, Oregon, on April 24, 2016, at the age of 91. She was born in Pontiac, Michigan, on March 3, 1925, to John and Minnie Groner.
She graduated high school in Eugene, Oregon, where she worked as a telephone operator. She was a devoted wife to Walter Frohreich, whom she married in 1946. They were married for more than 60 years and raised five children in the Rogue Valley.
Leora and Walt were charter members of the Star Promenaders and avid square dancers. They helped with the annual square dance festival at Diamond Lake, where camping, square dancing, family, and friends all came together. They were also charter members of Ascension Lutheran Church, where Leora enjoyed being active with the Circle group. Leora was a dedicated member of TOPS OR 0195 (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) and met and maintained her goal since 1972. She loved to travel, play games, and camp with fellow square dancers. She cherished her time with family, many close friends, wonderful neighbors, and her beloved dog, Teddy.
She is survived by her four children, Gary (Monica) of Nevada City, CA, Rick (Karen) of Medford, Kathy Brown of Ashland, and Sue (Raif) of Seattle; brother, Leon Groner of Palm Desert; 7 loving grandchildren, Ali, Kelly, Megan, Shannon, Kristi, Jason, and Jonathan; 11 great grandchildren; sister- in-law, Ruth Frohreich; nieces, nephews, and a host of long-time friends. She is preceded in death by her husband, her sister, Jean Marie Morgan, and her son, John.
A memorial service is scheduled for 4:00 PM on Saturday, June 4th, at Ascension Lutheran Church, 675 Black Oak Dr., Medford, Oregon, 97504, with a reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Ascension Lutheran Church; the Medford Gospel Mission at 125 W.
