Lenora Louise Hoese, age 97, of Watertown, passed away Sunday, Aug. 7, 2016, at the Elim Home in Watertown.

She was born Aug. 21, 1918, in Waconia Township, Carver County, the daughter of Edwin and Martha (Guethling) Lemke. Lenora was baptized Sept. 15, 1918, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Waconia by the Rev. William Schneider. She confirmed her faith March 20, 1932, at the same church with the Rev. William Schneider officiating.

Lenora was united in marriage with Orvin Hoese Jan. 25, 1939, at Trinity Lutheran Church with the Rev. William Schneider officiating.

Lenora and Orvin farmed in rural Mayer, and later rural Watertown, which is now the Forest Hills development. The couple were charter members of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Watertown, and had sent their sons to St. Paul’s Lutheran School.

Lenora had worked at Molded Products/Pako Plastics in Maple Plain for 28 years. After moving from the farm, Lenora lived in the couple’s small rambler on Newton Avenue for 44 years.

A faithful member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Lenora belonged to the quilting group, the Thursday Bible study group, and volunteered whenever needed.

She enjoyed attending senior citizens, bus trips, vacations in Nisswa, fishing, and listening to old time music. Lenora loved family gatherings, and cherished the time she spent with her grandchildren. Her caring and witty personality will be missed by her family and friends.

Lenora had moved to Westwood Place in Watertown in 2011, and enjoyed her time socializing and playing games with the other residents. In 2014, she became a resident at the Elim Home.
