Obituary - Lila Lou Guazzini

Obituary - Lila Lou Guazzini

On March 18, 2025, Lila Lou Guazzini took the outreached hand of God and stepped over into a new life. There had to be a crowd waiting for her, as she was a very special lady.

Lila was born Feb. 18, 1930, in Fallon to Ernest and Lillian Baumann. She was the eldest of three children.

If you knew Lila, there is not enough paper to write an obituary. She was a strong, hardworking wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother—not to leave out, many friends.

She was the epitome of a farm wife, up early, cooking, feeding cattle, milking cows and gardening. She was a multitasker—she could be cooking breakfast (yes, she did cook breakfast), preparing for what she would have for lunch, all while answering phone calls or writing a receipt for a bull buyer, and she might have to make a new pot of coffee or bottle-feed a baby goat in the middle of it all.

Lila was a devoted Christian woman, never missing a Sunday at church. She taught Sunday school to the children before the church service, where she would lead the music selections. Sunday dinner was cooking at home, ready for the family when she returned home.

She was preceded in death by her parents; sister and brother-in-law, Remo and May Laca; mother- and father-in-law, Marie and Louis Guazzini; son and daughter-in-law, Sam and DaNielle Guazzini; husband of 69 years, Louie Guazzini; grandson-in-law, Brandon Kempf; and brother, Ernest “Bud” Baumann.

Lila is survived by her daughters and sons-in-law, Morena and Gary Heser, Virginia and Jeff Knight, and Ted and Lorretta Guazzini; grandchildren, Randalyn Kempf, Brandon (Elissa) Heser, Brian (Jeanette) Knight, Angela (Ward) Viera, Samantha (Chris) Scholer, Sam (Jeri) Guazzini, Mark Saltee, Heather and Mariela Holdridge-Fernandez, and Michelle Jeppsen and Dan Jeppsen; numerous great- and great-great-grandchildren; and nieces and nephews.

The family would like to thank the caregivers at The Homestead for all the love they showed to their mother during her stay.

A potluck dinner will follow services at the Wolf Center.

The family wishes donations be made in Lila’s memory to The Country Church, P.O. Box 413, Fallon, NV 89407.

A service to celebrate Lila’s life will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, March 28, 2025, at Smith Family Funeral Home.

Arrangements are under the direction of Smith Family Funeral Home, 505 Rio Vista Drive, Fallon, NV 89406.
