January 3, 1924 - March 2, 2017 Lois Brodax, 93, died after a brief illness on March 2 in Los Angeles, CA Lois is survived by her two daughters, Lynn (Barry) Berkowitz of Southfield, MI and Laura Brodax of Seattle, WA, ten grandchildren and 38 great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband Phillip of 65 years. Lois was born in Detroit, MI and graduated from the University of Michigan. She and Phillip were married in 1945 and operated a chain of retail clothing stores before moving to Los Angeles in 1977. Lois was the matriarch and anchor of an extended family to whom everyone looked up. She was smart as a whip in finances and business, an incredible reader of current events, a self-described "news junkie". She was a best friend to many and valued a good sense of humor above all else. There are no words to express how much we will all miss her.

Lois always cared so much about her two girls, and her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was a good partner and had much wisdom to share. She was incredibly sharp right until the end. She will be seriously missed.

I think about you so much Grandma. I remember all our conversations about life, your down to earth wisdom and practicality. You were able to connect with all your grandchildren and great-grandchildren on their own level and we all looked up to you and respected you. Your devotion to your family will never be forgotten.
