Lera Dean Whittemore, beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on December 13, 2024, at the age of 94. Born on July 6, 1930, in Woodbury, Tennessee, she was one of several siblings, including her cherished twin.

Family was the center of her life. She took great joy in gathering her loved ones around the table, a tradition that will be fondly remembered by all who were fortunate enough to share a meal with her.
She lived for many years in Southgate, Michigan, where she created a warm and welcoming home filled with love and laughter.
Her family finds comfort in knowing she is now reunited with those she loved and missed. Though she has left this world, her legacy and strength will live on through her family and all who knew her.
A celebration of her life will be determined.
