Lois Faye Trant

1937 - 2024

On June 12, 2024, Lois Trant of Galt passed peacefully at her daughter's home in Garden Grove, California while recovering from a leg fracture. She was a devoted disciple of Jesus, a dedicated mother to many, and an integral part of her church and Galt community. In all aspects of her 87 years of life, Lois strived to be of service to God and to those in need. 
Lois was born on May 22, 1937, in Florence, Arizona to Frank and Lucille Dale. After spending the first part of her life moving between multiple states, Lois settled in Galt in 1972. She married Robert "Bob" Trant on November 1, 1963. Together they joined the Galt SDA Church on February 26, 1966. Full of faith, Lois was a tremendously involved member of her church for almost
60 years.
Lois enjoyed spending time with family and friends, attending church activities, crocheting, camping, traveling, gardening, collecting rocks, and caring for her animals. Lois truly enjoyed basking in God's creation, especially the beach.
Lois was also a foster parent for Sacramento County for 24 years, fostering approximately 37 children. Many kept in touch with her throughout her life.
She worked as a Teacher's Assistant at Galt High for many years helping students enhance their reading skills. She tirelessly volunteered as a tutor at the Galt SDA Church School and served on the Galt Beautification Council. She also worked at Rescue3 of Elk Grove until her retirement
in 2002.
Lois loved and adored her family. She is survived by her many sons, daughters, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband Bob Trant of nearly 40 years, her brothers Tim and Richard, and two of her daughters.
A service to celebrate her life will be held at 11:00am on Sunday, September 1, 2024, at the Galt Seventh-day Adventist Church.
Instead of flowers to honor Lois's memory, she asked that you feed a homeless person, shelter a stray animal, or give a gift to a needy child.
