TREMONT - Nola Faith Koch, 86, of Tremont passed away at 9:05 a.m. Saturday, March 29, 2014, at Amy's Country Manor in Pekin.
She was born July 31, 1927, in Tremont to Peter and Emma Riggenbach Stuber. She married Clinton L. Koch on Dec. 28, 1957, in Tremont and he passed away March 30, 2007.

She trained, inspired and directed her sons in many entrepreneurial ventures, including health foods, paper delivery, lawn mowing and BBQ chicken businesses. She was a "stay-at-home mom" who didn't stay at home, but diligently instructed her sons in the ways of the Lord while she was baking cookies, painting apartments or whatever her tasks were for the day.
