Thanks to Angela & Michael Denny for these Memories!

Thank You

This morning, we got the following notice:

A generous gift has been made by Stuart & Kathy Lohr in honor of Cindy Lohr.  "An amazing person with so many contributions to a better world! Proud of her life and of her family!!! Love, Stu & Kathy" This gift will help us to empower ordinary citizens to educate elected officials, the media, and the general public about climate change solutions.  By training these passionate volunteers to discuss climate change with their own neighbors and elected representatives, we can build the vocal constituency for the climate action we all need.  Thank you for helping to create a bright future for generations to come! In Gratitude, Mark Mark Reynolds, Executive Director    Website: www.citizensclimate.org Address: 1330 Orange Ave, #309, Coronado, CA 92118 ​

It's the first such notice I've received, but I know there have been others. Thanks to Stu & Kathy, and to everyone else who has participated in this way!

Yesterday, I signed on as a community-leader endorser of the  Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act of 2019. (https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/763) While I can still claim to be leading a congregation, I wanted to do a small thing. You can do something, too. Go to https://citizensclimatelobby.org/energy-innovation-and-carbon-dividend-act/ and learn more, then take action!

We are planning a memorial service for Mom to be held Friday, June 7, 2019, 1:30 PM, in the the William
Penn Room at The Crosslands Community, *Crosslands Dr., Kennett Square, PA.  The service will be
followed by a reception. We welcome your attendance! If you're not able to travel, we hope to make
arrangements for friends to attend remotely. We have created a memorial website
(https://cindylohr.blogspot.com/) and would welcome your comments. Donations to Citizens Climate
Education (https://citizensclimateeducation.org/) in her memory would please Cindy.

*--(On maps.com  and google maps, it's 750 Crosslands Dr.; on mapquest.com it's 100 Crosslands Dr.)

Following the memorial service, we will gather for the weekend (June 8 and 9) at the White Bight, 2026
Indian Circle, Cape Leonard, St. Leonard, Maryland (brochure here).  We would love to have you join
us for fun, frolics on the water, and reminiscing, but you will need to make your own sleeping
arrangements nearby. We also plan to bury Mom's ashes next to Freeman on Saturday at 11 AM.  
Some folks may stay at the Bight through Thursday, June 13.

With gratitude for Mom's life, and your part in it,

        Jack, Bob, and Ginny Lohr (and families)

PS: Please share this invitation with anyone you think might be interested.

Cindy's complete obituary is now published on Legacy.com. You can view it at

It turns out you can create and post an online obituary directly to the site using ObitWriter, a free tool that provides an easy-to-use form to help create a custom obituary in minutes. All obituaries created and posted to the site with ObitWriter include a permanent Guest Book. To explore this option, visit: https://www.legacy.com/obitwriter/.

All that was needed was to enter a couple of "required fields" in the opening page, and then edit their bot-generated text by substituting our own. We even got to add the photograph!

It's not likely to take any traffic away from our blog, only (perhaps) add a couple of visits.

LUCINDA W. LOHR

Lucinda W. Lohr, 95, died on Nov. 5 in Kennett Square.

Born in 1923 in Atlantic City, N.J., the daughter of John J. and Virginia (Baker) White, she thrived for the past 23 years as a member of the Crosslands retirement community. Previously, she lived in Annapolis, Md., Bluefields, Nicaragua, Veracruz, Mexico, and Mt. Tabor, N.J. From her causes to the trips with her grandchildren, Cindy loved her family and loved exotic places, making friends everywhere she went. She exuded energy and spirit and everyone knew it.

She was married to Freeman W. Lohr for 30 years until his death. She was the mother of Jack (Janice) Lohr, Bob (Celia Foley) Lohr, and Ginny (Rob Briggs) Lohr; grandmother of 11; and great-grandmother of four. She is also survived by two sisters, Betsy Rigell and Mary Meagher.

Cindy accelerated her 1943 graduation from Swarthmore during World War II to marry her loving husband. In 2015, she was proud to be the first to sign a letter to the Swarthmore College Board of Trustees opposing stock ownership in non-renewable energy stocks. She was a frequent lover of the Metropolitan Opera and was especially devoted to the tenor Placido Domingo. From Quaker roots, she found a spiritual home in Alcoholics Anonymous , Unity Fellowship, and Unitarian Universalism.

A memorial service at Crosslands will be scheduled in the spring. In lieu of flowers, donations to Citizens Climate Education (citizensclimateeducation.org) in her memory would please Cindy, and would be matched by the organization. The family is sharing memories at cindylohr.blogspot.com.
