Liselotte "Lilo" (Deusch) Kuehn

Liselotte "Lilo" (Deusch) Kuehn died on January 20 in Fallbrook with her dear friend Dotty Metcalf, who loved her as her mother, by her side. Lilo will be missed dearly by her friends in Fallbrook and her cousins in Germany. But through faith, they have the assurance she is in heaven, out of pain and rejoicing with the angels.

Lilo was born on March 27, 1929, in Heidelberg, Germany to Frieda and Willi Deusch. An only child, she was loved by her parents. Lilo has many cousins still living throughout Germany and Switzerland.

In 1951, Lilo married scientist Bruno Kuehn. They moved from Germany to Brantford, Ontario, Canada for a few years, and then to Gardena, Calif. where they spent their working years. Lilo and Bruno owned many properties throughout Southern California and in Hawaii. Lilo was a checker at Vons supermarket and won the 'Checker of the Year' award for her wonderful service to the customers.

From Vons, she was hired by Great Western Bank as a teller working her way up to Bank Vice President for four branches in the Los Angeles area. She was commended many times for her integrity, fairness and sense of humor with the customers and staff. She retired when Bruno retired in 1985 and together they built their dream home in Fallbrook.

They loved being together and enjoyed each other very much. Their beloved son, Christian, moved in with them in 1995 when Bruno became ill. In 2002, Bruno passed away. Sadly, in 2005, Christian also passed away. Lilo was resilient, stoic and strong, always making the best of her situation.

All who knew Lilo loved her and were blessed to have called her friend. She spent many mornings walking her dog Toby in Los Jilgueros Preserve, greeting everyone she met. She was a gracious lady who cared about others. Lilo will be missed by many.

Lilo was predeceased by her husband, Bruno; her son Christian; her parents, and her beloved dog, Toby. She leaves behind her many friends and cousins in Germany, and her dear friends, Dotty and Bill Metcalf.
