Lois Jean Kleiber, age 76 of New London passed away on Sunday, January 28, 2024 at ThedaCare Hospital in Waupaca after a courageous battle with cancer.  Lois was born on October 18, 1947 in Wausau to the late Bernard and Ellen (Huntington) Richards.  Lois graduated from Wausau Senior High School with the Class of 1965.  She was united in marriage to James Kleiber on October 28, 1967 at Holy Name Catholic Church in Wausau and together they celebrated 57 loving years of marriage. Lois was employed at Curwood/Bemis until her retirement. She looked forward to spending time at their cottage and sitting around the campfire telling stories, laughing and being with her family creating many memories.  She loved trips to the casino and playing the slots.  Lois always supported her grandchildren and attended all of their concerts, games and activities. She could be found playing games on her tablet in her free time.  Lois' pride and joy were her grandchildren and Boxer dogs, especially, Auggie.
