Lois A. Kronmueller

Lois A. (Adams) Kronmueller, 85, of Lake St. Louis, Missouri passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 3, 2024. 

We have lost our caring, loving, and gracious Aunt. Our Aunt Lois is now at peace with the love of her life and husband of 50 years, Bob. Lois was a role model for strength and determination. Born at home in 1939, Lois Margaret grew up in a modest home, attended a one room schoolhouse in her younger years, which developed her strong drive for success, work ethic and values. She graduated from Washington High School in 1957 and went on to work at Union Electric Company where she met her future husband, Bob. Marrying Bob in 1974, she changed her middle name to Adams to pay tribute to her family name of 35 years. After leaving UE, Lois earned a bachelor’s degree in business management and accounting from Maryville College in St. Louis graduating Magna Cum Laude. 

Lois and Bob later moved to Littleton Colorado to enjoy their early retirement years, hosting family visits and sightseeing trips to the mountain areas. They enjoyed the Colorado life for 25 years before moving back to the St. Louis area, building a house in Lake St. Louis to be closer to family. 

Lois is survived by her loving family of nieces and nephews, Diane Husk (Kevin), Nancy Minster (Jeffrey), Bill Kronmueller (Cindy), Sandra Adams, Sheila Adams, Bryan Adams (Mary) and Bruce Adams (Sharon). Lois was also a great Aunt and beloved by Spencer, Mason (Claire), Rhiannon, Garrett, Cullen, Veronica, Cole, Corey (Sarah), Cody (Samariah), Jennifer, Holly, and Todd along with her great – great nieces and nephews Cameron, Hunter, Baylor, Madison, Jason, Blake and Adam. Lois was preceded in death by her parents, Samuel and Adele (Audrain) and her brother, Samuel, “Sam”. She was a dear sister-in-law to the late William and Helen Kronmueller and Marie Emig Adams. Lois treasured the time spent with her family, especially at the holidays and special occasions. These moments brought her much joy and many fond memories of delicious food, fun board games, rambunctious card games and lively conversation. 

Within the last three years, Lois proudly became a member of the Immanuel Lutheran Church and School of Wentzville. Their guiding principle that Jesus is the source of all goodness and joy was a personal focus of her life. Being part of a church that was also a school, brought her comfort as she knew that future generations are being taught God’s grace. She revered in the knowledge that her nieces and nephews had the spiritual presence of God in their lives. 

Lois was an avid St. Louis Cardinal baseball fan watching all games, along with following former Cardinal players on their new teams. She became a Kansas City Chiefs football fan as her family extended into that city. 

Lois wanted to share that she was blessed with a life filled with splendor, joy, happiness and the love of God, family and friends. Her legacy will live on through her beloved nieces, nephews, family and friends. 

Lois’ family wants to extend a special thank you to her healthcare team at St. Luke’s Hospital for the extraordinary and compassionate care that they provided through the years. 

Our many years of happy moments and memories will fill our hearts, and her love will embrace us forever.
