LOIS GOLDSWORTHY Obituary
passed away at the age of 90 in Palm Desert, CA, following complications from a stroke.
Originally from Joliet, Illinois, Lois (Schoenstedt) headed west when she became a stewardess for American Airlines.
She and her best friend, Teedy, flew together and roomed together over the course of four years until they met their husbands and settled in California.
Lois and her husband, Brandt, became long-time residents of Palos Verdes Estates, where they happily raised their three daughters. She was a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother, devoted not only to her family but to her beloved dogs, as well.
She was passionate about grooming, showing and breeding Westies, raised several champions, served as President of the West Highland White Terrier Club
and spent many years doing rescue work.
After her husband passed away, she relocated to Palm Desert to enjoy the warm weather, spend time with Teedy and watch every tennis match she could find on television.
Lois is survived by her (3) daughters and (6) grandchildren – Jill (Rob & Jenna), Joy (Kristen) and Jana (Shanti, Konrad & Quinn).
No services are planned at this time; thoughts, prayers and fond memories are appreciated as the family privately celebrates her life…

I grew up with Lois Goldsworthy always in my life, since I was three years old. Lois added such life and personality to the neighborhood, to all of our lives. She was an example of charm, joy, and tenacity. A bar was set for all of us and we all rose to meet it. Better lives, more joyful and loving, where relationships with family and friends were valued over most everything else. And, of course, we all must look fantastic! She will always be a part of my life, memories of her will always leave me smiling. My deepest sympathies to Jill, Joy, Jana and all her beloved grandchildren.

To the family..LoGo was one of my most favorite people during my long stint on the hill as a UPS driver. Personable, warm, and a good sense of humor. She loved those little white dogs like no one else! A distinct pleasure to have known her.
