I have so many wonderful memories of Lois. When I was little I always looked forward to the Thanksgivings and Christmases that we spent together. After our holiday dinners we would sit around and play Balderdash and laugh for hours at Lois and Ken's stories. She certainly was a gifted storyteller and never forgot a detail. She loved art, and culture and genuinely loved learning. She didn't just know a little about a lot she knew a lot about everything! I will always remember being a bride's...

Lois's service today was lovely. Jean and Phylane did a wonderful job celebrating Lois' life. She truly was a friend to everyone. Lois was my fountain of information about everything and was one smart,kind, and funny lady. She was great with my kids growing up and my Mom growing older. We have so many wonderful mememories. We will miss her very much. I think we can honestly say when they made Lois they threw the mold away. There will never be another quite like her. We loved her.

Lois was a unique individual, wise, kind, caring, with a wonderful sense of humor. All of us who were her friends will treasure the memories we have of her.

Pearl and I wish to express our deepest sympathy to her family.
