Lois Prater Obituary
Rev. Lois Prater
Lois was born on July 17, 1912 to Rev. Jacob and Gertrude Secrist, she was one of four children.
On February 22, 1936, Lois married Gaylon Prater and together they had three children, Barbra, Bonnie and JoAnn. When Lois was 76 years old, she felt called by God to start an orphanage in the Philippines, so she sold everything she had and went by faith into the mission field where she worked for 13 years doing the Lord's work by feeding and clothing and schooling children at her orphanage, King's Garden Children's Home.
A memorial service is being held for Lois on Saturday, January 26, 2013, 11a.m. at Lake Stevens Assembly of God in Lake Stevens, WA. All are welcome.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to Children's Home. Make checks out to Lake Stevens Assembly of God with note to go to King's Garden Children's Home.

I have not met you and have not known you, yet we are sisters. Thank you Lois for your faithful journey, your heart to answer God's calling, to consider what was yours worth letting go in order to fulfill the dream that the Lord honored with success. Certainly a Proverbs 31 woman, fearless, wise, loving and full of grace........see ya later Lola. vicki thomas

It was my blessing to visit the orphanage several years ago and Lois graciously shared her room with me. What a woman of faith!
