Lola and her husband Joseph traveled worldwide over the span of decades, and was always inspired  to share the many details of architecture of the vast many countries & cities she traveled to. In addition to her world traveling; she was also a talented seamstress creating most of the window treatments & fabrications that anointed her wallpapered walls, that were appreciated &  by regarded with high praise by most professional wallpaper installation professionals.

Lola was famously known for her endearing words of encouragement & her catchy phrase; "Make sure you stop & smell the roses!"

Lola knew no stranger & loved engaging in conversations with really anyone; & learning of their life experiences & all the things that made someone "whom they became throughout their life". Lola could read 2-3 books in one day & often would be captivated by the knowledge she attained reading her favorite romance novels; to do it yourself catalogs & often you found her surrounded by the vast archives of her ancestors birth certificates & birth registrations & her passion to create that ancestral tree prior to the applications we all use today. Her passion to create this ancestral tree brought her to many a city hall, many church record keeping offices & she spent a majority of years collecting all of the pieces of her family origins & their vast explorations. Lola was the daughter & granddaughter of Sea Captains & sadly lost her father; Herbert Wennerberg In a boating accident; "The Idol Hour" off of Cape Ann when she was only 11 months old.
