Lola Lee Strickler

Lola Lee (Christian) Strickler, 81, of Mount Sidney, passed away on Sunday, July 2, 2023 at Brookdale of Staunton.

She was born on January 21, 1942, and was a daughter of the late Hugh and Frances (Alexander) Christian.

Lola was the owner of the Teachers Aid Store in Harrisonburg and was a member of Barren Ridge Church of the Brethren.
