Doris J.
Lampo
February 24, 2017
Doris J. Lampo, who has resided at Brethren Village for 10 years, died peacefully on February 24, 2017, of natural causes. She was 95 years old. She was born in Brooklyn, New York, on June 11, 1921, the daughter of Serena Van Ness and Charles Fosdick. She was also the stepdaughter of Jacob S. Frey. She graduated from J.P. McCaskey High School in Lancaster and lived most of her life in Lancaster County. In 1942, she married her beloved husband, John G. Lampo, who died in 1984. She lived in his hometown of Mt.
