LOIS WINSLOW SISSON AMES

An absolutely amazing woman, unforgettable forever. My deep condolences to her family. Dr Robin Schoenthaler

I have wonderful memories of Lois as a professor and friend during the mid 1970s. She is the fabric of my career in criminal/addiction counseling. Remembering practicum sessions and developing a social service agency with NU and the state of MA, trips to Sudbury for wonderful group meals and great conversations with her group of 10 and Li and Adam. I know Liz and Adam and her grand children will miss her wise counsel.

Lois held a unique space in my life and I adored her since meeting her at age 10 at a faculty party she hosted. She and my late mother were part of a close group in the 70s at Northeastern. She was the rare adult who treated children with insight, humor, understanding and respect. That is, she let us - Liz, Adam, my sister and I-run wild on the farm and in Wellfleet. I hold her dear in my heart. Deep condolences to Liz and Adam.

I apologize for my late contribution. Lois helped me write my first non-fiction book; without her, there would have been no book. She was intelligent, warm, friendly, and extremely supportive of a novice writer. Blessed be her soul. I'd like her family to know how generous and helpful she was to me, many years ago. Thank you, Lois, from the depths of my heart.

A gentle soul yet powerful from within, leaving a footprint wherever she has been. This remarkable woman shines bright as a star above, touching us all through joy, laughter, and love. Marc & Lisa

Thinking of you all and sending lots of love. Lois was absolutely one of a kind, and, for us, a Star friendship we have, and will always cherish.

What a Life!

Lois was not old enough to be my mother, and a bit too old to be a sister, but over the many years from the time she moved to the Barton home, up the road in Sudbury from my childhood home, we became very good friends. We shared good times in Sudbury, Cuttyhunk, Wellfleet, Boston and NYC over the years. Conversation sparkled with her eyes. A photo taken by my father.

in loving memory of Lois and her sense of engagement
