Lois I. Brenner

ONEONTA – Lois I. Brenner, 89, passed away peacefully at home on March 14, 2022.

Lois was born November 3, 1932 in Brooklyn, the daughter of Henry and Isabel (Corry) Erickson.

Lois graduated from Fort Hamilton High School in 1950.  Following graduation, she worked in the financial district in New York City at Hanover Bank for several years.

Lois married David W. Brenner on September 5, 1954 at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Brooklyn, NY.

Following their marriage, they moved to Oneonta so David could attend college at SUCO.  Lois held several office jobs in Oneonta prior to the birth of her children and raising her family.  She enjoyed playing Bridge in several organized clubs in Oneonta with friends at times hosting the groups at her home.  In 1968 she started working what she thought would be a temporary part-time job out of her home for the Otsego County Employees Federal Credit Union. Over the years, the temporary part time position became a fulfilling full-time career. After several mergers including with the Sidney Federal Credit Union, she was appointed branch manager of the Sidney Federal Credit Union office in Oneonta, retiring in 1995.
