I worked with Lois at Searle and we had remained good friends through the years even though I moved to Wisconsin. She visited here once with Jean Kuna (they met through St. John Brebeuf Woman's Club). We were in daily contact through email, phone calls or texts until she could no longer do it. She will be missed. God Bless!

Dear Royann David and family,
We are so very sorry for your loss. Ed & I are in Knoxville and unable to attend services.
As the dear partner of Virginia, my dad's (Francis Point) sister, we shared many great times with both Lois & Virginia over many decades. They even visited us in TN several times. Lois was our "Adopted Aunt" and will be in hearts forever .
PS I will attach a picture as soon as I locate it.
