My name is Lois (Schwoerer) Herfel. I reside in Blue Mounds at the present time with my significant other David, but have lived in the Mt. Horeb area for most of my life.  I grew up on a farm, south of Mt. Horeb near the Perry Catholic Church.

I have two daughters, Casey (Michael) and Leah (Ryan), three grandchildren Molly, Clara, and Andrew, one grand dog Hunter.

I graduated from Mt. Horeb High School and went on to work for the Wisconsin Department of Revenue for 41 years before retiring.

Ever since I was a child, I have loved music, as my Mom was a piano teacher and a church organist/pianist. Now as I’m playing the piano, it is pure joy to listen to the people of BLC sing so beautifully and thoughtfully. I think I began playing the piano at BLC during the summer of 2006, and I look forward to many more years of praising the Lord through music.

I love to play at BLC! Not only are the people of Barneveld Lutheran kind and compassionate, Pastor Jim and his family are the icing on the cake. In May 2011, I began accompanying at Barneveld Lutheran Church.
 
I love to play the piano, but will also play the organ and the digital piano for the 9:00a.m. church services. Mark and I reside in Ridgeway, and we recently adopted a four year old gray tabby from the Human Society named “Oodles”. We both love nature and the outdoors enjoying fishing, bowhunting and turkey hunting.
 
I teach private piano lessons at my studio in Ridgeway, substitute teach at the surrounding school districts, and perform for senior citizens and private venues on occasion.
