She married Larry Giesselmann on June 15, 1952 and had six children: Dean, Marlene, Kent, Kevin, Paul, and David. Lola Mae was very involved in many church activities at St. Peter's, including the LWML and the LLL and multiple community organizations. She was Den Mother for the Cub Scouts for many years. After Larry's death in 1987, Lola Mae married Melvin Scheer in 1993 and moved to Arlington, Nebraska, where she was active in several organizations at St. Paul Lutheran Church. She also spent much time volunteering in the St. Paul School Library and the Lions Club in Arlington.
Lola Mae enjoyed traveling as well as cheering on her Nebraska Cornhuskers and Midland Volleyball. She especially loved spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She took to heart Deuteronomy 6:6-7 ''These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.'' She would always share a Scripture lesson with the children at family gatherings and the legacy she left for her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren will be greatly treasured.
Lola Mae Giesselmann Scheer passed away peacefully on May 2, 2023 at Providence Place in Fremont, NE. She is preceded in death by her parents, Henry and Viola Gerwick and husbands Larry Giesselmann and Melvin Scheer. She is survived by her six children: Dean (Deanna) Giesselmann, Marlene (Rick) Pyatt, Kent (Pat) Giesselmann, Kevin (Mary Jo) Giesselmann, Paul (Paige) Giesselmann, David (Vicki) Giesselmann, 14 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren, sisters Rita (Richard) Johnson and Sharon Ash.

Memorials are suggested to St Paul's Lutheran Church or Camp Luther. Visitation will be Sunday at the Ludvigsen Mortuary Chapel in Fremont with the family present from 3pmto 6pm.

Manchester, MO Sunday, May 7, 2023 Dear Family,Our condolences to everyone as Lola's passing. I know the last few years were challenging for her, and we can all surely take comfort in knowing that she had faith in her Savior Jesus and now rests in Heaven.
Dawn and I have unfortunately both been experiencing health challenges this year and are unable to travel. Otherwise we certainly would have planned to attend the services. I recall over the years at any Giesselmann gathering, Lola always made a point to visit with me and catch up. She was just that way.
Blessings to everyone, and may Lola's lifetime example of Christian faith and service to others be a model for all of us.
