Not sure what to say?

Lois was one of my favorite residents at Train Station Apartments. She was had a zest for life and a fiery spirit. She often talked about her son Gerard and of course, tennis! She was a beloved part of our community.

We loved Lois!! We met her at the Thursday night Doubles Tennis league....there was a birthday celebration for her ( darling little lady in fashionable tennis skirt and blond bob, she was always dressed out of a fashion magazine,. That night she turned 84!!! She will always be my tennis hero!! The Angels are lucky to have her!!! ( here's to you Lois.... a toast (with a Pale Ale of course) With love, Colleen Kendall and Bill McGinnis

As you remember your love one, as God heals your broken hearts (Psalm 147:3), may your cherished memories bring you peace, comfort, and strength to endure.

Admiring their shoes/boots

What a grand lady! A "house-mother" in every sense of the word during my college days, a shoulder to lean on when needed, and a treasured friend ever since. You were loved, Lois, very deeply and John and I will greatly miss you. Our sincere condolences to her family.

The world is not quite as nice without Lois in it. She had our mother, mother-in-law as one of her best friends. We enjoyed many Thanksgiving meals together at our house. Our children and grandchildren loved her and respected her as well.

We loved this lady. It was always a delight to see her and reminisce about tennis or the children she mentored at Chico Country Day School. She was a positive force, and good role model. She will be missed!
