Doris J. Lampo, 95

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. Kisco, New York, for eight years, returning to the Lancaster area in 1955. Doris was a member of Highland Presbyterian Church and the Rachael Bible Study group.
She loved animals, especially cats, and also enjoyed playing cards, including bridge and rummy. She loved plants and flowers and was a past member of the Garden Club of Lancaster. She was also a long-time member of the Community Concert Association. Her favorite love, however, was traveling, and over the years, she has enjoyed several trips to Europe, including visiting her oldest son John P. (Jack) Lampo in Germany. She also took cruises to Russia, Bermuda, the Caribbean, and Alaska (where she celebrated her 90th birthday).
Doris retired from the former Ear, Nose, and Throat Associates in 1980, and had previously worked at Educators Mutual Life Insurance Company of Lancaster for many years.
She is survived by her twin sons, David C. Lampo of Alexandria, Virginia, and Douglas A. Lampo of Philadelphia. Preceding her in death was her oldest son, Jack Lampo, her sister, Marian Fosdick, of Lititz, and her brother, William M. Fosdick, of Brooklyn, New York.

Dear Doug and Dave: I had the pleasure to know Doris for many years. We became friends in the 1980s while I was in my 20s working in sales at Keller Brothers Ford in Lititiz PA were she had purchased a new car. Not the usual way to start a long term friendship. Despite our large age difference we became friends and kept in touch over many years even after I relocated away from Lancaster County.
Doris had lots of special qualities that made her a great friend. She was always interesting in conversation, young at heart, and seemingly always emanating a positive outlook on life despite her losses. I will miss her greatly. She was a special friend.

Dear David and Douglas,
We are so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. It has been many years since we have seen you all, but we do remember your sweet mom and you both, of course. She had a very full life and we recall her and your dad’s humor very well, such kind and loving dear ones and all of your visits to Greenwich visiting your aunt and uncle (Angelina and Patsy) and our mom and dad (Pat and Evie). Our prayers are with you during this time of grieving. Keep the fond memories always in your hearts.
