The world lost the most incredible, loving, and vibrant woman. Lois Plottle Krieger Dubin, 87, of Palm Beach Gardens and formerly of Scranton, passed away from pancreatic cancer on April 27th, 2025, surrounded by her family. She was preceded in death by her beloved husbands, Leonard Krieger of 30 years in 1985, and Bernie Dubin of 25 years in 2012; her eldest son Jim Krieger in 2014; and her stepdaughter Libby Dubin in 2017.

Born in Scranton to the late Edward and Charlotte Plottle, Lois graduated from Scranton Central High School and attended Ohio State University, prior to marrying her first husband, Leonard Krieger.

Lois served as President of Hadassah, Chairwoman of the JCC, and CEO of a Top 10 promotional products company, Leshore Calgift Corporation, which was sold in 1995 to a publicly traded company. Lois was a member of the former Jewish Home, Glen Oak Country Club, and Temple Israel. Lois thoroughly enjoyed attending the Broadway Theatre League and playing bridge or canasta with her friends. 

Lois will be remembered for capturing hearts and souls with her generosity and warmth towards others. She provided unconditional love to her family and the community, and always championed, supported, and encouraged others to achieve their goals and dreams. She truly put others before herself.

Lois was a world traveler. As a teenager, she made her first trip abroad with her parents and sister, Sherrymae, in the 1950’s on a 9-week adventure. Lois continued her travels all over the world over the course of her life. As recently as last year, Lois traveled to Dubai, London, Paris, Normandy, and Morocco.
