I was just thinking of her today in Priesthood Meeting. This lesson concerned callings. I had her in Sunday School for a couple of years.
I still remember her and the love that she felt.
My attitude may have been different at the time. However, I remember her more specifically than others.

Dear Maxwell family,
Miss Maxwell taught me several classes at the School for the Blind during the 1950s. She always took such an interest in her students and instilled in us a desire to learn. Lois has remained a good and valued friend during my adult life. I was saddened to learn of her illness and loss. I am blessed to have known her.
Please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your dear sister.

Kathy and family:
I was saddened to read of Lois's passing. Even though I didn't know her personally, she taught Pamela Spendlove, my blind dousin, in Ogden. With the Braille skills Pam learned, she had a very productive and wonderful life, even though blind.
Little did I realize as a child the future infulences for good your family would have on me and my extended family. All I knew was that we were friends and shared so many experiences that still affect me to this day on good old 3155 South.

"Miss Maxwell," as my husband always called her, was a dear friend and teacher to both my husband and me. My husband had her for a teacher at the school for the blind and then again when he went "out" to school at Olympus High School she was his "itenerant" teacher. I was a student in her keyboarding class at the Center for the Blind, where she worked after retiring from teaching school. I loved the class. I was learning braille at the time I took her class, and she had a program on one of the computers that gave me a chance to practice my braille as well. She told me stories about her former students at the school for the blind. Stories about "gd" (the abreviation for "good" in braille) potatos and she shared the joy she felt when she came into class one day and saw one of her students sitting on the floor reading from the encyclopedia in braille, just because he wanted to know about something or other. Little did I know I would marry that little boy within a year after hearing the story. We both cried when we learned of her illness and then the next day of her passing. She contributed her life to the "prepetual education" of the blind and we will always be grateful.

Lois was a very special person. She loved everyone and set a wonderful example for all who knew her. She served so many people in her life time. I have loved the Maxwell family all my life. It is wonderful to know that we will see Lois and all our loved ones again.
